it is my personal belief that all of these male gymnasts are approximately 4 feet tall. it is pretty cute how the slightly taller guy has to help them jump up and reach that bar. what is it? the high bar? so the little dudes don't exactly have the hottest vertical, but once they get up there...holy upper body strength. (like you didn't realize that gymnasts were strong already)
one question i have is: what is it with the chalk and the spitting? they chalk up their hands, ok fine, but then they spit on their chalky palms to make what i'm guessing is some sort of really yummy paste. in the words of karen walker,
modern science has not been able to do anything for these little buddies? there's no potion at big 5 that like, does the same thing? we can do better. maybe gatorade can come up with something? just saying."what's going on here, honey? what'cha doin'? what's all this?"

I Love Karen Walker... almost as much as I love you.
"Oh honey..."
oh, karen walker--the world still needs you!!
i've only watched the men's swimming. i admit that i'm a michael phelps whore.
My question or I should say Jared's question is Why are the men so much older than the girls? I think the girls team average age is 9 and the men 24.
Anyone? Anyone? Buehler?
I am a Phelps Phan, but I do enjoy a little men's gymnastics every once in a while. I owe it to knowing Peter Vidmar's dad. He sits in back up my parents in church. Anyhoo, I was watching thelympics last night and they showed one of the Hobbits, er gymnasts sitting between what looked like a man the size of Hagrid from Harry Potter and a backpack. Both Hagrid and the backpack were larger than the gymnast.
Allow me to congratulate you on becoming a good global citizen and tuning in to the international games of athletic superiority.
True that (I almost took it to a whole other level and put "dat", but thought that might be a little too much, seeing as how I'm white and all).
