Open jawed admiration

I'm slobbed out on my sofa watching the Commonwealth games - the gymnastics section.

And the commentator just said "a fairly basic routine"

What?!!!

She just did a double flippy thing, jumped off the bouncy thing onto the horsey thing, another flippy thing, landed square on her feet and did it all in 3.2 nanoseconds!

"Fairly basic"!!!!

Then there's the girls doing 100 foot leaps and twists while standing on, what seems to me, a piece of wood the width of a matchstick...

Followed by the "uneven bars" where the athelete held a handstand on one bar followed by a swing down and flies to the other bar straight into another handstand.

"Good extension on the arms"

WHAT?! "Good extension on the arms"! Is that the best you can say?

These people live on another planet :-)
