As an amateur juggler, Anthony Gatto is exactly who I expected this to be about. The article perfectly nails the tension of juggling: it's theoretically a performance art, but one in which there is almost no audience who can appreciate it.

I think it's akin to free jazz, or car shows, or other weird passions where eventually the experts can only be understood by other experts.

I did find it weird that they made no mention of Vova's sister Olga. Did she leave juggling?

I wonder if it's like when I take a look at software and all anyone else can see is the output, but I can appreciate the underlying mechanisms and even be awe struck. And my colleagues are wondering if we're looking at the same thing.
