This week's avatar: alternate headings

Can someone please explain what this woman is doing?
I did try and figure it out myself, but there is no good reason for doing the splits on a log on a river (Well no good reason I can see anyway).

It's the newest Olympic Event ......combination Balance Beam/Pole Vault/High-Wire Walk/Sculling competition

It's from the new music video, Log Driveress's Waltz.

IF you ask any man from the parish around
What pleases him most from his head to his toes
He'll say, "I'm not really sure that it's business of yours
But I do like to waltz with a log-driver"
For she goes birling down, down the white water
That's where the log-driver learns to step lightly.
It's birling down, down the white water
A log-driver's waltz pleases gentlemen completely

OK, non-Canadians won't get the reference. Check this then:

She is crossing the river on one single bamboo pole, snd using a second one as a paddle.

The guy behind her is STANDING on a single bamboo pole in the middle of the river.

Why?

Up periscope.

What do you mean watch out for the piranhas?

Just thought of another one.

There's many a slip twixt the pole and the lips!

Our new line of personal watercraft are reasonably priced, quiet, and also very eco-friendly.

proof that distraction in the subtest forms works, Raoul can't seem to take his eyes & mind away from the near girl in blue to care if the person in red behind her is a guy or gal.

There were some unfortunate translation errors in the rules for pole vaulting at the Olympics this year.
