This is one of the best and funniest sports profiles I’ve ever seen. It happened right after Kyle Shewfelt won Floor in Athens.
Rick Mercer hosts the top rated arts and entertainment TV show in Canada — now called The Rick Mercer Report — and when you see this clip, you’ll understand why this comedian is so popular. He’s hilarious.
If Dragalescu from Romania had won gold on Floor in Athens, he would have been awarded US$65,000 by his, one of the poorest governments in Europe.
The payoff for a Canadian winning Olympic gold? ZERO!
Mercer is merciless in bringing that point home. I hope the Sports Canada bureaucrats were squirming when they watched this interview.
