Gymnastics

Three non-contact sports will resume and four contact sports to begin practice in Michigan.

If you're going to watch one gymnastic routine today, this is it.

Huge ups to Gabby Douglas for bringing home the gold medal in individual performance for the USA last night and for being the first African American to do so.  But for as great as her performance was, I still don't know if it beats this performance from a Russian gymnast way back in 1972.

A 86 year old woman gets on the center floor and is still flexible enough to put together a routine. The sad part about this is that I think this old lady is more flexible/athletic than me. Which in turn slightly pissed me off. I was waiting for her knee to give out or break her hip, but this old lady is pretty durable...

I'm sure that "Manley Lou Retton" thought that this stunt would end much better than it actually did. I think he was probably hoping for a landing that did not involve crushing his male parts. There's always next time.

Remember the saying "Anything you can do I can do better". I don't think that applies to this...
