So to get to see the cheerleading, live, right in front of my eyes was almost like one of my secret little dreams come true. Cheerleaders from San Francisco, New York and LA all gathered at Neumarkt for yet another Gay Games, but this year was different for them because this time they actually had a tournament too, but not before giving an unforgettable show the day before.
It was quite spectacular! The display of athletics and sportsmanship was very much a part of this and it was every bit as exciting as I imagined it would be. When I try to pinpoint what I like best about it, I decided it was the way the spectators are completely drawn in. At one point I looked around me and they too were chanting and cheering and clapping their hands like they were every bit a part of the display, just as much as the gymnasts themselves. The energy from the squad rippled through the crowds and people were just drawn to the stage from all around. So much so that I made a mental note to arrive earlier the next day for good viewing opportunities, and good thing I did because it seemed as if word had spread about how electric they had been and the audience had more than doubled. Not even the near monsoon sent people away and they just stood and cheered and got soaked right until the results came through.
