I always think of one woman, when gymnastics is on, now 18 years since she died aged 46.
One of the most talented gymnasts and courageous persons; she was a member of the Olympic Order, despite never competing at the Olympics.
Her name was Elena Mukhina, one of my heroes. /1
I have been moving, and I found my old Far Side books underneath the bed. If you are my age or thereabouts, nearly 25% are instantly memorable, nay legendary. It's the greatest single-panel strip of all time. But I think this might be the best of all, and if I'm wrong prove it.

@dompates They serseve it. A lot of comparison to Canada 1993 when the ruling Conservatives were down to two seats. But they were back in power 13 years later. PR may be the best way forward.
