the buzz log
Here's something you might not have known: There are many different versions of "Dancing with the Stars." Right now, the competition is heating up in Australia, where big names are strutting their stuff.
The names may not be of the household variety to folks outside Australia, but one competitor is about to make a big splash on the Web. Gerrard Gosens, an adventurer and three-time paralympian, recently wowed audiences with a flawless waltz. What made the dance so impressive? Mr. Gosens is blind.
Gosens and his partner glided across the dance floor without missing a step, and, in the process, pushed lookups on "gerrard gosens dance" into breakout territory. Among the people watching the performance was Gosens mother, Carol O'Brien. In an interview with NewsMail, Ms. O'Brien explained that her son has a condition called aniridia "in which he was born without irises and lost his sight completely at age 14." Not surprisingly, Mum was quite proud of her boy. "I was amazed at him, he had a really nice rhythm."
You can see that rhythm for yourself below...
