I think there should be a new Olympic sport. It could be called light rail riding. The goal would be to try to maneuver your way onto an already full light rail train, jockey for position standing and then be judged on how little one moves when the light rail train suddenly stops, accelerates or goes over other tracks or around a corner.
A perfect score* would be for the person who can do all of the above in the middle of the train without holding on or leaning into anything...or touching anyone else if it's a REALLY full train.
That would be the kind of Olympic sport I could compete in. I have a lot of training to do. Lucky for me the light rail has been extra full lately and standing time has been in abundance.
*Speaking of perfect scores, does anyone else miss the old judging system for gymnastics? A score of 15.70 doesn't mean anything to me. Where are the 9's and 10's? Why does everything have to change?! Oops, sorry started channeling church people for a moment**.
(**Yes, I did take my extra snarky pills today, thanks for asking.)
