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.

An amazing talent.

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

Amazing young lady.

Bet she doesn't kneel for the National Anthem.

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.

Oh sure...you give me a giant springboard like that and just watch!

Because that triple-double ain’t never not been done before!

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.

She's only 4'8" tall too.

She's light, very strong, flexible, and understands how to convert horizontal speed to vertical heght.

Watched her in the last Olympics. She’s amazing!

She ain’t gonna be squat after they let the trannys compete as women.

While we're known for saturdays in the fall(particularly that third one of october) Our ladies who gymnastic in the spring have brought glory to the capstone.Never heard Coleman colisuem as loud as when Coach Yoculan brought the gymdogs over for a meet.Rammer Jammer is special anytime but little extra sending the gymdogs back to Athens with an L.

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.

Lots of talent and muscle.
And terrific athlete.

That gal has some powerful legs.......Pop yer head like a zit!

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.

But, but, she’s bleck!

I needed a flexeril just watching last nights competition.

Yep she certainly is, and for as long as I've been watching her the MSM and their porkbelly sycophants have done their best to exploit that fact.

But Simone isn't playing that game, unlike Gabby Douglas who's mother let her get dragged into Oprah's schit show.

Ya, I was cringing at where this thread was gonna go, still might.

That girl is amazing, and she earned all of that.

I watched

It was advertised to be a senior event

I didn't see a single flipper or flopper over 55

I wish her a long and spectacular career. She's the best, and still getting better.

i think i jumped that high when a skunk licked my foot when i was pissing outside one night

Spectacular maybe, but in a sport that hard on the body, very few at that level last long. The Olympics are next year. We'll see how she goes.

Someone mentioned trannies taking over women's gymnastics. I highly doubt it. Men have more strength in their shoulders and the men's events are designed to take advantage of it. The women's events have more speed and grace, with more flips and bounces. I doubt a man could keep up.

She is amazing!!!

She is small because small girls do better. Remember way back when, Mary Lou Retton. She was about 4 foot 9.
A small figure can more easily do the flips and spins. Less body mass to flip around. You will never see a top notch gymnast who is 5 foot 8. Ballerina maybe, but not a gymnast.

I can't believe how high she gets when she launches on those tumbling runs. Girl's got some serious leaping ability.

Read up on the difference between fast twitch and slow twitch muscles. She has about the highest concentration of fast twitch that I've ever seen.
On the average, blacks tend to have more fast twitch muscle fibers than whites. That makes them quicker with more explosive power - like her. However, they burn out faster and aren't as good at sports that require more endurance. Blacks excel at sports like football that require explosive power but they get to rest between plays. Whites, with their larger numbers of slow twitch, are better at endurance sports like soccer where they never quit running.

Doesn't explain power sports, where whites dominate. I think it is more leverages, skeletal proportions.

There's a lot more to sports and body build than just the muscle types. I was just addressing that 1 aspect of it. Biles is gifted with a very large number of fast twitch muscle fibers which gives her a great jumping ability.

Had a mandatory 100 level class with a very mixed group of students. One was a lady gymnast. Just being near was thought provoking.

Even after watching gymnastics for quite a while now (youngest daughter is a level 9 gymnast), I can't fathom how she can hit that...

Agreed.

I wouldn't bet on it. Most of the Black athletes stick together like glue. It's no different from the fact that well over 90% of them vote Democrat.

This young lady nails it to....

Remarkable strength by both ladies.

Yes well, you should have seen my Freshman girl, Miss Francie S. 34C 24 36
This was at a small conservative college in central Georgia. Francie was from Florida. I learned that Florida girls were pretty wild. Ah, yes.

Which of course, explains the complete dominance of the Kenyan distance runners in the marathon events.........

I mean, really, does ANYONE practice critical thinking anymore?

And no doubt you'd be in a red onesie?

PS asking someone to "Hold my beer"

RC,

not to be a contrarian, but

have you watched professional soccer in the last 10+ years? An awful lot of black fellas running around on the pitch.

Geno

Ya, was there ever a soccer player as good as Pele from Brazil? Perhaps the best in the World in his day, really Black.

It is literally "in the genes"
