Has anyone watched any of the US Women's gymnastic championships going on now? Miss Biles is amazing. I have no idea how she can get the air like she does. It's almost not human.

Watch her opening move in this one.

Amazing talent. I couldn't do that on a slippery, sloping driveway.

I've done most of those moves, just not on purpose.

Amazing young lady.

That's the first time I've seen them use that extra pad.

My wife had the TV tuned in watching this and I happened to look up about the time Simone took that first flying, twisting, flipping leap and all I could say was, "holy crap"... no idea how she can get that much vertical.

I watched that competition yesterday. That gal was unbelievable.

That brings back some memories. In college I had a girlfriend who was on the gymnastics team.
18 year old freshman girl. Very good muscle tone. Ah, yes.

Hmmm...on womens floor ex., she may have an advantage. Small is better, and some of the moves are done better with a woman's weight distribution.

Then, hold my beer.....
Always impressive to see someone master their game.

She is arguably the best gymnast ever. She is also 22 years old and somehow has managed to only sustain a shoulder injury up to this point in a sport notorious for its destruction of the human body.

Amazing really.
