Video speaks for itself...I cant imagine how long it takes to perfect a routine like this. Video (safe for work) - http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=49c_1232382639 |

HOLY CARP!!!

Nice! I never got into rhythmic gymnastics like I did artistic, but the routines can be pretty amazing. Definitely more elements of ballet, and the "wow effect" comes from flexibility instead of the tumbling. |

That was amazing, but I'm still not sure rhythmic gymnastics is a real sport. With her talent, that young lady should be playing basketball instead. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive.

That was amazing. I'm glad I opened it, in spite of expecting with every fiber of my body to see Rick Astley. |

I Owe It All To John D'Oh

Great video, thanks, 89th. That is an absolutely amazing performance. You'll notice she does no tumbling (well, she does walkovers, but that's about it). That's one of the requirements of rhythmic gymnastics ... no aerial flips. Can anyone name all the events in rhythmic gymnastics, without looking them up? Ball, hoop, ribbon ... I can't remember the others. I think there are five, iirc. |

Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D | |

That is what led 89th to the posted video. |
