The Olympic Champ

The Olympic Champ1942

Observe the swing of the hips and the knee fixation as the legs progress into their arc, preparatory to crossing the bar. Crossing the... You know, that reminds me of a poem by Tennyson, "Crossing the Bar"... "Sunset and evening star,/And one clear call for me!/And may there be no moaning of the bar,/When I put out to sea." Don't you think that's a lovely thought? I do.
