Cantankerous grump
Wow, Daniela Ulbing did that so well. The not a centimetre more than necessary swerve to avoid running over the squirrel came at the cost of not shaving the apex on the next righthander. She still won that run by half a second, but lost against the eventual gold medallist by almost a second in her quarter final.
That could have been the worst sports/animal disaster since Randy Johnson vaporized a bird with a 103mph fastball.
Legend has it that some time in the 1960s a soccer player did a penalty shot and killed a rabbit running across the goal line. This being in Germany, he was taken to court by some busybody for unlicensed hunting. He beat the charge by presenting his hunting license in front of the magistrate.
