SPORTS ANNCR 1: Rhythmic gymnastics has to be one of the most beautiful sports to watch. Especially the ribbon event.

SPORTS ANNCR 2: Hokey smokes, they’re pretty skinny. You think they eat?

SPORTS ANNCR 1: Of course they do. And of course, as she twirls the ribbon...

SPORTS ANNCR 2: Oh, I’m surprised she has the energy. I bet if I pulled out a cupcake, I could end this thing right now.

Music: Triumphant.

VO: If rhythmic gymnastics qualifies for the games, why not poker? Poker’s marathon 18-hour sessions require as much endurance as dancing around and waving a ribbon. Since 1999, the games committee has recognized chess and bridge as sports. Poker deserves the same recognition. Poker embodies the true spirit of the games and is open to all. The young. The old. The beer gutted. Support Full Tilt Poker’s campaign to make poker part of the 2004 games. Go to pokerinathens.org and sign our petition.

SPORTS ANNCR 2: You think she’d have the strength to pick up a cupcake?

SPORTS ANNCR 1: They are stronger than they look.

VO: Full Tilt Poker. Working to make poker part of the 2004 games.
