SPOILER, if haven't seen it - Women's Gymnastics...

July 30, 2024 01:45PM
for those of you who are reading this yes, I know.... Women's gymnastics have been over for HOURS now..... but I'm sure some are waiting until this evening to watch it.

LAST WARNING... Spoiler Alert....

My personal 'best performance' award goes out too....... <<<<drum roll>>>> Jordan Chiles in the floor exercise. Of course our entire USA team did great but Jordan was on FIRE during that floor exercise. My wife, oldest daughter, granddaughter and I leaped to our feet after her last tumbling pass in fist pumping celebration! Her score was great BUT... (maybe the best floor exercise score?), but the judges had to be hitting the tequila HARD to not have given her a perfect score. It was flawless.... and you could see it on Jordan's face when she completed her routine... as well as on the faces of her teammates.

This next isn't something that occurred to us today, (my family).... we've been this way for decades. The single most tension filled, anxiety ridden, event in the Olympics is the Women's Beam. I can barely watch... and not just the anxiety but those young ladies, whether they are aware of it or not, are a millimeter from death every time they mount that beam. I would sooner cross a crocodile infested river during dinner time than attempt a backflip on that beam. - JamesJM
