Fall on your ass or fall on your face

I admit it. I'm much more interested in the failures than the successes.

Like that Chinese hurdler. Are he and his whole family off to the work camp now?

Last night, there was the Brazilian gymnast who fell on his ass. He was so disappointed, he was crying. It was sad.

This morning, there was the Swedish hurdler who crashed into the first hurdle and went splat on the ground. Then she cried. Oh, everybody cries at the Olympics. It's all so sad.

Why does anybody run hurdles? It seems like the most dangerous sport. Not to mention the most humbling when you land on your face.
