Rookie's Rock
A shiver runs down your outstretched arm, as your knuckles bump against hers in mid-air. Otherwise you stand, steady and still, disbelieving. Would you ever have thought you’d get to be so close, close enough to see the goosebumps on her skin, to show her the ones on yours? Close enough to touch – with so much gravitas – the weight of your future and her fame pressing down on the horizontal plane where your small bones meet. Of course not. You never believed you’d still be here at this point. You signed up to this for a chance to see your hero, not race her. You signed up as soon as you heard that this year’s tournament would be held in town: $9.99 to get a glimpse from afar, but in person at last, of her formidable skill.

In 2018, chef de mission Mike Hay said the aim for the next Olympic games was to get Team GB onto the top-15 scoreboard. Great Britain has won 26 medals across all the Winter Olympic Games, ten of which were gold. There is a clear motivation to add to this number with considerable effort next year, especially in the skiing sports by building on the success of Isabel Atkin who was the first Brit to take home a medal in the skiing category for her participation and skill in slopestyle freestyle skiing.

The cool of Charlotte’s impending winter was shut out with the slam of my door. I fumbled over boxes as I made my way to the kitchen island to place my groceries. It wasn’t much but would last until payday, not sure how long my body could run on pasta and minute steaks, but I was going to find out the hard way. North Carolina’s recession recovery was great in theory, but it left a lot of experienced and educated people looking for the same jobs as me, leaving me working a 9 to 5 selling stationary and my marketing degree collecting dust. Luckily, I found a house for sale due to foreclosure, it was cheaper than renting and I didn’t have to share a wall with what could only be described as the longest ongoing domestic dispute of all time. I was just about settled into my recliner when the sound of the doorbell interrupted me. I lazily scuffled to the door and all that was there was an envelope almost bursting at the seam due to the thickness of its contents. I caught a glimpse of the delivery driver’s speeding van almost collide with a beat-up Jetta before I went back inside. The package read a familiar name, “Raymond Isaac.” “Poor guy” I thought as I threw it on the pile with the rest of his mail. Nobody deserves for their house to be repossessed, and judging by the condition of his house, he seemed like a good guy. He had an affinity for punching living room walls, but his subpar DIY spackle jobs almost made up for it. That was his ninth piece of mail this week, I assumed he didn’t have the heart to tell anyone of his predicament. I turned my TV on, and the sound of dribbling and broadcasting filled the room. Basketball was never my thing despite being from North Carolina. To be honest I’m not sure why it’s a North Carolina thing, our own team is abysmal and that’s putting it lightly, but I guess enough superstars have called North Carolina home to give people an obsession with the sport.
