Cut from the US women's hockey team right before her third chance at gold, Natalie Carpenter is scrambling for a plan that'll help her avoid moving back home. The answer: a guest-hosting gig on Wake Up, USA's winter games coverage. Her cohost: Darcy LaCroix, Nat's ex-girlfriend, one-time college teammate turned adversary. Since leaving Team Canada, Darcy has worked hard to make a name in broadcasting.

Drunken Monkey Kung Fu, alternatively referred to as Zui Quan or Drunken Monkey Style, is an ancient Chinese martial arts tradition. It is distinguished by its distinctive motions, which imitate the swaying and faltering of an inebriated individual, in conjunction with dexterous and nimble strategies.While the precise origins of Drunken Monkey Kung Fu are shrouded in mystery, it is thought that Chu Mei Feng, a Taoist priest, was responsible for its development during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912). According to legend, Chu Mei Feng channeled his observations of an inebriated monkey's movements while out in the wild into his martial arts training.Opinions are divided on the technique due to its fluid and unpredictable movements, which hinder opponents' ability to anticipate and respond. Proficient individuals frequently utilize strategies including rolls, falls, twists, and exaggerated hand gestures in order to perplex and deceive their adversaries. Drunken Monkey Kung Fu is an effective martial art that, when mastered, emphasizes balance, coordination, and agility, despite its apparently unconventional approach.Furthermore, apart from its pragmatic implementations in combat, Drunken Monkey Kung Fu is regarded for its aesthetic and health-promoting attributes.
