Vova and Olga - Who really won the cold war?

War of Juggling that is. Who knew there was a juggling feud going on out there? First we were all giddy with Chris Bliss's performance. Then we were told by way of Jason "Stick in the Mudd" Garfield's Dis performance that no, Chris was not a juggler, but an entertainer. Now to really muddy the waters, enter the brother and sister team, Vova and Olga Galchenko from Russia. As featured in Time, these guys are flawless and technique that makes Tony Little speechless. Watch their video and be awed as they just suspend time and gravity.

The article list some cool Juggling statistics that I will quickly forget. It also describes the self appointed messiah of Juggling, Jason Garfield. Appears that Jason will be mentoring these kids if they can work out their visa issues. So I guess I have to re-evaluate my opinion of Mr. Garfield. Yup, he's still a stick in the mud. I'll take entertainment of Bliss over these robots anyday.

However, there are some great videos of Vova and Olga as they are growing up:
