LOL, I always wonder how all those Decathletes Bruce defeated in the Olympics felt about losing to a girl?

I am afraid they would to me.

It would just be more aversive in a pre-teen athlete.

I’m sure they’d like him to at least return his medals.

I remember when that guy was on cereal boxes. Good gosh.

In 1976 we would have never believed it possible.

Then again, on 9/11/2001, we would never have believed a Muslim-sympathizer would be elected to the White House TWICE just slightly more than 7 years later.

Wow, amazing. Me, I’m quite happy to be able to get to a standing position after stretching on the floor for 20 minutes.

A “Muslim-sympathizer”?

Sympathizer? You sure about that? I would have dropped that modifier.

When you watch the Olympics, it seems to me that there’s little joy in the gymnasts.

And yes, I’ve often had my suspicions about many of those coaches, and now we’ve come to learn that those suspicions are true.

Well, once in awhile I'm .......... too nice, LOL.

I agree with ya. I think he was here to do as much destruction as possible. All while grinning and telling lies.

He was an agent of Satan; still is. Of course he showed just who he was from the very beginning. How stupid are Democrats? Very, very, very stupid.

...and that would be a shame - IMO

she kinda reminds me of Trump at his rallies: he enjoys himself and involves the audience in his enjoyment. It’s infectious.

Thanks for posting; it was joyful. I have just one thing I wonder about...HOW THE HELL DID SHE MANAGE TO NOT INJURE HERSELF?

The girl is awesome!

Heh! There’s a place in this world for us, too! I just wondered how you know that some of her feats were so difficult.
