“And Now Announcing…Team USA…”

The broad expanse of laser-level, emerald green field that lay before me was breathtaking in itself and I had been marveling at how small the two lone target mats seemed as they stood between the perfectly straight, parallel, painted white lines that ran toward the northern horizon. The sun was so bright that the concentric circles of gold, red, blue, black and white glistened as the pennants attached to the tops of the mats fluttered in the stiff afternoon breeze. The dull roar that had been at the back of my mind grew louder and louder until it was a deafening crescendo of music and voices and gongs and drums and screaming men and women.
