I wasn't really trying to say that the people at the top didn't deserve to be there. I just thought it was really weird that you can _win_ a world title and still only place 58th overall. I don't really know how the stats are calculated, but I'm sure everything is on the up and up; it's just funny is all. Besides, this is a blog, right? Isn't it my job to stir up bullshit and controversy? :-) Thanks for commenting Steve! Yeah, I guess that post could be misconstrued.

I was #6, and played singles, doubles, and mixed doubles freestyle (and did reasonably) on top of net. And at the time, John Leys and Sean Flynn were also serious freestylers. (Little known fact: Sean Flynn was one of the team that toured Czech Republic for Russell Promotions which led to Vasek and Ales and other great Czech freestylers learning the sport.) Of course, Jesse Fryckman is a net player but he also was pretty darned good at freestyle in his day. I get your point, but just want to keep you honest. Hey, hang on a second there!
