I don’t really keep up on wokeness, except for the most egregious cases that are always in the news.
Was the gymnastics team “woke?”
I saw a video clip from Biles where she seemed tired with the non-stop training, the constant injuries, and admitted her body was older than when she first achieved greatness. Its completely understandable, but it revealed doubts that you can’t have when you are competing at such a high level.
Yes, she and other team members are woke BLM supporters. Turly gets into that at about the 4:45 mark in the video.
Yeah, I don’t know if the gymnastics are “woke”!
Don’t follow the sport but from many years gone past it seems women excel at a very early age.
As they grow older, gain weight and fill out, it appears that maturity works against them in the sport.
Nadia Comeneci was a monster gymnast at 13. She never regained that height again.
The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.
I think you are correct. I had a daughter who was a very good athlete. She was head and shoulders above everyone at age twelve. We didn’t overtrain, but her body started having issues (osgood-slaughter, vertebrae issues, and torn muscles). We pulled her out of all but track.
Watch the video - he has copies of tweets and unless he made them up, Simone is definitely woke.
