After he wins at the Olympics for his South Korea side or as a new immigrnt to the USA, give him an American flag to celebrate his gold medal as that tight lipped evil sister of Jong Un grimaces and leaves her box seat to throw up.

At least he had somewhere to escape to.

A mini-trampoline would make it fairly simple for a gymnast.

This has to be fake news. My liberal acquaintances say that all communist nations are paradises, and we must try to be more like them.
So why would anyone want to escape the North Korean paradise? Fake news!
Oh, wait. Perhaps I was being too harsh there. Maybe the author just got his facts mixed up. Maybe that gymnast actually escaped nasty capitalistic South Korea by jumping into North Korea.

He should stay in South Korea. If he comes here the Biden administration (If it happens!) will return him to NK as a goodwill gesture.

To be honest, most of the greatest high jumpers in the world were (are) not black.
I guess technique goes a long way.

See #9 for evidence.
The high jump was always my favorite Track and Field event. I was obsessed with it, I tried to do the Fosbury Flop after seeing it on TV, but never could quite get the hang of it.

The current Olympic high jump record is 8 feet. So either the 10 foot fence is an exaggeration or this guy pole vaulted over the fence.

The one black high jumper I remember was 5' 8" Franklin Jacobs, some 40 odd years ago.
Amazing someone that small competed at the top level at the time.

I jumped over a 10’ fence once.
Wait. No. That never happened.

Will Kamala start wearing Chinese uniforms to cozy up to the Chicoms arriving in DC? If the tailors let the seats out---way out--then she will.
