Have female gymnasts changed since I was younger?

The female ones should have breast implants. That would sure up the challenge.

It might off balance them and breast implants on young girls makes one feel awkward.

Nah, they feel the same as grown woman breasts. Trust me

Pedo?

 

[SP33Demon]

Definitely way more muscular. And yes, as a result, they are worse on balance beam which is annoying.

Pedo?

Remember, too, that there were rumors that the old Soviet female gymnasts were receiving treatments to slow down their development during puberty. Back then, with the younger girls doing gymnastics, it helped them gain an edge, because their girls would stay slimmer, and balance easier, than a girl who was developing hips & breasts.

That, along with the joint problems that were proven to happen to younger girls still growing, helped lead to the minimum 16 year age requirement.

If you look at photos of Olga Korbut, who competed in the 1972 Olympics, she looked old before her time. :thumbsdown:

No grace left. They do the required transition moves as an afterthought. It's just clunky arm waving and uninspired leg kicks until the next running jump. Just like ice skating. The grace is gone.

 

[waggy]

not if you're china :sneaky:

lol

they were all found to be "older" then the age requirement though!

 

[CRXican]

I was watching the trials and noticed an impressive presence of breasts the likes of which I had not seen before on gymnasts.

I predict increased viewing of women's gymnastics this year.

Much better not being photoshopped

I disagree. I like the big booty better.

I fell asleep in front of the TV last nght, and when I woke up the Jim McKay documentary was playing on HBO. It's quite good, and I enjoyed what I saw of it.

They showed this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spAlIMm8jSg

That is just fucking unbelievable. None of these heavily muscled girls could even approach something like that. The grace and beauty blows me away.

According to the documentary Korbut was not liked within the Russian gymnastic community. The film showed some closeups of her (and had a current interview with her), and while she was not that attractive nothing about her appearance struck me as unusual.

i disagree.

i think they could do it. but some of those moves are against the rules now.

and she got cheated. that should have been a 10!

this was from ESPN's 2011 "Body Issue" spread:

I don't know about gymnastics, but are you sure about that?

I watched some uneven bar routines and the annoucers seemed thrilled when the girls could pull off a clean handstand. They seemed more interested in "big air".

It was like watching the X games.

 

[waggy]

oh man. now its going to get locked..

but .../fap

yeah now its all about "big air" you need to get high.

but i have no doubt that they can do those routines now if they wanted. they just wouldn't score very high.

Also standing on teh top bar is against the rules now.
