It does show the power of sport and competition to bring nations and people together. it also shows the magnificence of the human body. It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures. ( |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18810 | Anyone remember the controversy about the age of Chinese female gymnasts? Many of them still look about 7-10 years old to me. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

| petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | That is a crazy good channel. Incredible athleticism in these contenders. Can't imagine what it would be like to attend, but just like NFL, I've got the best seat, along with instant replay. Amazing competition, obviously the finest in the world. Alaskan's do well at indoor sports probably because they spend a lot of time indoors and it's a real physical place to live. The Hutchison's lived up the street and my kids know all their kids.

Yes - they all look young. But I think it has more to do with the intense training they have to do stunting their growth. The Chinese gymnastics "industry" is like a factory. It scoops the girls up when they're 2 or 3 and they train 30+ hours every week. A straight man will not go for kids. - AZDuffman |
