Claude Balls Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 I wonder if Michael Phelps can play quarterback, or maybe even goaltender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Balls Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 I just wonder if he knows where Vesey is signing. Most likely does and is probably drawing up his contract in between races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norcal Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Simone Biles is amazing and Ali Raisman is pretty in good too. Congrats to them. Phelps just wasted Lochte in that race, damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats to them.Phelps just wasted Lochte in that race, damn. Two of my three daughters used to do their gymnastics training at the same gym (Brestyans) Ali goes to. I've got a few pictures of them with Aly, who is a great kid btw. My youngest was one of four girls that got to wear the first Aly Raisman leotard she designed. This was right around the time of the London olympics. My daughter is the second one in from the right.

Eleven Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Water polo. I'm exhausted just watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josie Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 I think rhythmic gymnastics starts today. I know a lot of people laugh at it, but it always captivated me as a kid, and it's probably the closest to the stuff I do now. The ribbon never did much for me, but the hoop and ball routines are just so tough. I'll be trying to find it on live stream. The flexibility you need to be competitive.... well, here's a girl hyper stretching: And, you know, just hanging out, warming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Water polo. I'm exhausted just watching it. No kidding. I always liked playing in gym. Good exercise. Can't motivate myself to find a local club, though I know they exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducking for cover in 3...2...1... haha we got into this two years ago on figure skating. I'm sure neither of our opinions has changed. It's athleticism. Not sure any of the gymnastics qualifies- a lot of it is subjective, just as subjective as figure skating. No goals, no timing, no racing. But I will agree that rhythmic is one of the odd birds.. that and synchronized swimming. Just kinda... what I would've considered fringe sports. Speaking of fringe and new sports- I'm really excited that competitive sport climbing will most likely be at Tokyo in 2020! aka bouldering. Watching those competitions is really cool- I love having it on while I work. Official stuff: And the awesomeness that is Psicobloc: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
