The Kiwis Are Trying To Psyche Us Out!

Photo above and email content below courtesy of Gus Ibarra
"The New Zealand team got in front of the start of a race and did what their coach described as a
"challenge dance". It was a series of stomps, screams, and body slaps directed at the opposition.
Their coach said, "It's a dance we do to show our opposition that we are here to compete without
cheating, without anger, without hate, & without malice. But, if there is a competition or challenge,
BRING IT ON, fair and square"
. It sure left our kids with a surprised look on their faces.
