Gymnast's Skills Save Him in Fourth-Floor Fall

A British junior gymnastics team member fell from the fourth floor of a Ljubljana hotel but suffered only a broken ankle after putting his gymnastics skills into practice, the Slovenian press reported Tuesday.



"Probably my gymnastic knowledge and experience saved me," the Slovenske Novice newspaper quoted 17-year-old Steven Jehu as saying.



"There was a big window that could be opened. I leaned out over a metal bar, but the bar suddenly broke. I couldn't do anything. I fell," Jehu said.



The gymnast did a somersault while falling from the window, which was more than 33 feet from the ground, and braced himself for a regular gymnastic landing.



Jehu, whose favorite discipline is the rings, is one of five British junior athletes who traveled to Ljubljana last week for the European gymnastics championships on April 15-18. "I got away with it all right, although the European championships for me ended before they even began," he said.

Well, they should be teaching gymnastics at Khidmat Negara rather than giving freebies and discounts. I mean, what the fuck? Malaysians are already well-known for their getting things for free, spoon feeding, etc culture, and now we're nurturing our youngs to be, what? Get more things for free? Yeah, I know, discounts, but fuck it man, where's the justice in that? I mean, I didn't get a fucking discount and stuff. But what the hell... I mean, instead of giving freebies, they should be taught how to bargain and haggle until the price is right - after all, this is the REAL Malaysian culture. That, in addition to gymnastics. Just in case. You know. For that extreme sports thingy.
