Hi Joel. As a long time reader of Simon's blog (and old high school friend) I was disappointed to see he took some heat after Vancouver. Despite following for some time I've never commented and now cannot. Watching his effort, determination and success has been inspiring, especially now that he is a father with everything it entails. If possible, please pass on congratulations for his effort at the world's and advance congrats for kicking Gomez's ass in Beijing.
