Gymnasts are among the strongest and best athletes in the world. I am in complete awe watching these men and women compete.
But in regards to women’s gymnastics, there’s one thing that I think the sport could do without: the flare.
Why do these supreme athletes have to wear sparkly, bedazzled leotards? And why do they have to do the little frilly things with their arms and hands?
I know purists will talk about grace and tradition and pageantry, but to me it just looks dumb and pointless. And a little degrading, frankly.
Anyway… I just ate a giant-sized Big Kahuna sandwich from Jersey Mike’s, so I won’t be moving much. If anyone wants to chat Olympics, hmu.
