Oh, yeah. This video shows the evolution of the balance beam from the 1950s to today. It makes me wonder what the hell are they going to be able to do in another 50 years??

Gymnasts who trained under the Karolyis (I believe some of the magnificent 7) have said that they were limited to 800 calories a day, which is even scarier when you think how much they had to be burning. They said that the men’s gymnastics team would sneak them food at the olympics. Can't wait until Marta is gone.

She has a crazy story. Her dad sounds like he was The Worst... he forced his wife to give up their disabled daughter at birth and allegedly squandered all of Dominique’s gymnastics earnings, causing her to emancipate herself at 17. Olympics or not it honestly sounds like the other Moceanu sister had a better childhood.

What’s hilarious is fat women are literally shamed, sometimes into being afraid to go out in public, and she’s basically co-opting their actual problems.

Fat shaming and skinny “shaming” are not on the same planet. Not even in the same galaxy.

If you haven’t seen it, you should all watch/listen to this interview with McKayla Maroney from a great gymnastics podcast called Gymcastic. She talks very frankly about her coaches and their treatment of her throughout her career.

it must be sooo hard to be the standard of beauty in our culture.

“All sizes matter" wahhhhh. Wahhhh. Ugh

Why must skinny people interject themselves everywhere? You’re already all over tv, movies, and print media. Aren’t you satisfied?

Maybe she’s not on hormonal birth control. It screws with some people, and I can see what would be minor symptoms for a normal person being a challenge for an elite athlete in prime training.

Wait...so how would the IOC even know if Lochte got held up or not? Were they there? Or did they just flat-out deny it for optics purposes?

The baby will just be crying for those ten minutes, nonstop. A baby’s needs and its wants are the same thing. Crying is their only form of communication, and they don’t understand waiting because they don’t understand time. So the baby won't starve, but you can't explain that to him, because he's a baby.

I’d rather see a woman nursing (including possible seeing OMGSH! her nipple!) than hear a crying baby. Why is this STILL going on?

Yes, the most important thing is whether she leaked the video, not the pattern of behavior the video displays. I wish I was a famous, rich, and attractive (to many) man, imagine what I could get away with!!

Well, but honestly, so what?

I was just reading some comments about the Depp/Heard story on other sites and I’ve concluded that a video could emerge of Johnny Depp repeatedly punching Amber Heard in the face, and the internet would still declare her to be a gold digger who deserved it.

So fucking depressing.

wow, who sank your Titanic

My complaint is that in real life, Margaret Brown threatened to throw Quartermaster Hitchens overboard if he didn’t take the lifeboat back to look for survivors. In the movie, Camera had her cowed and saying “you’re scaring me.”

WTF, dude.

You don't. Flakes are assholes.

Ya but how do you still be friends with a flake?
