hair, as important as a gold medal

I'm glad it's about her hair and not some controversy which involves a black person swinging around like a monkey.

She's fucking badass. I don't see how the gymnasts can do what they do. It just defies gravity.

Agreed.

That much physical strength....and courage....packed into such small frames....it is incredibly impressive.....especially the uneven bars and floor exercises.

I couldn't care less about their hair....or nationality....I just watch them and appreciate them for what they do....display a superhuman amount of strength...courage....agility.

Exactly.
My wife and I were watching the vault, and I told her "I've done some pretty stupid shit in my time, but running full speed doing flips toward a small trampoline in an attempt to launch myself over an immovable object isn't one of them. And won't be anytime soon."
She called me a pussy.
So I showed her why Judo is still an Olympic sport.
Hip Throw, Bitch.

Gymnastics is something I wish I did in high school but never did because I was worried of being called gay and crap like that. Now that I'm older looking back all I can think is "I'd be in awesome shape, able to do cool shit, and oh yeah I'd be surrounded by crazy flexible and fit hot chicks". WTF was I thinking???

Remember this guy?

It's not so much defying gravity as it is a very graceful demonstration of applied physics.
And yeah, that young lady's skill and focus are something else. I've barely watched any of the Olympics, but I caught some of the gymnastics last night and was thoroughly impressed.

I didn't even notice her hair.

If Homeslice hasn't said anything about it, it can't be all that bad.
