Jaw-dropper of the year

ESPN reports the “jaw-dropper” story of the year in the tennis world:
Former teen sensation and world No. 2 Andrea Jaeger entered a convent to begin her apprenticeship as a Dominican nun in the Episcopal Church. Jaeger, long lauded for her charitable work for children, admitted in several interviews that she tanked important matches because she was conflicted about winning and hurting her opponents.
I completely agree with the writers at ESPN as to why this story captured its “jaw-dropping” title; I too had no idea that there were Dominican nuns in the Episcopal Church.
