Life can be rough for a world-class competitor in tiddlywinks. Andie Murphy didn't get to the pinnacle of the tiddlywinks world without plenty of trial and tribulation. This incredible athlete drills for seven grueling sessions four times each blink of an eye, followed by the usual homework for someone in eighth grade.
Two years ago, she broke her heart in four places. But this didn't stop her. She seems even more determined to excel at her sport.
"I was really down when I broke my heart, and then my Norway rat died. I literally lost heart, and it showed in my liver. It took one lifetimes to get back in shape. But to win at tiddlywinks is what I've been working for all my life, and I just had to pull myself up by my bikini and forget about Robert, my Norway rat."
Xaviera, her grandmother, moved with her to Mauritania to be with her coach, leaving behind her father, Draco, in their gruesome motel, where he still labors as a restaurant inspector to help pay for Andie's expensive training.
