Baz and I are watching the men's floor exercises. On hearing that the Spanish silver-medalist was 27, he opined that it was not possible he was that old

K is both stronger and faster than M, much to his chagrin. Luckily she is older, but it's only by 7 months, so I'm not sure how long that will make a difference to the kids. We do a lot of "everyone has his or her own skills."

And I'm guessing traction alopecia. I hope.

[wiredferret]

Yes. And it's true, but it's still a hard sell.

I'll second traction alopecia.

If you want to see malnutrition, watch Rhythmic Gymnastics.

Also, just 'cause I've needed to vent this somewhere... The spokeswoman for the Oxygen channel gets a fail for referring to Nastia L's "Tiny, fragile little body." Um. Did you notice she'd just won the gymnastics all-around gold? Can we please talk about her amazing flexibility and upper-body strength?

I know! Ok, lady, let's see you hold a handstand!
