My girls have been in gymnastics for about a month and on day 2 of their practice, watching what the more advanced girls were doing, I had a realization. Gymnastics is the only sport where you HAVE to start them young. Because once you reach a certain age a) your muscles and joints just won't be on board, and b) your brain sees what they do and says "fuck that, never gonna happen in a million years."
When you are a young kid you do that kind of shit because why the hell not? I bet I can get more air than you! The concept of death, the idea that it could all go horribly wrong, hasn't really sunk in as a reality for you yet and by the time you are and adult, you have been doing it so long that it is second nature and no bigger a deal than taking a shit.

Excited to see what she does in the Olympics.
She is going to kick ass.
What an absolutely fantastic athlete, nothing she does surprises me any longer.
Definitely the gymnastics GOAT, the back of her leotard is 100% appropriate and a mere statement of fact at this point.
