Gyorffy, like Taylor, was effectively competing against herself last weekend. Her peak height of 1.89 meters in the high jump on Sunday was well short of her personal-best 1.96 meter-jump from May 12 that placed her second on the world season performance list, but it was still better than any other collegiate jumper in the nation this year...

...Obara's Den'en Chofu mansion that the shabby decadence of his post-bubble lifestyle comes into stark focus.

That's most of the space in some private playgrounds. And since a wheelchair ramp must be 12 ft. long for every foot in height, it is practically impossible for some playgrounds to include structures more than a few feet above ground level...
