Olympics got me ready to be Katniss on my Hunger Games shyt. I’m about to find an archery place (is there a name for this :heh:). That’ll be a fun couples group date

Low key I told my sister Archery looks like something my short old ass can do to be an Olympian :mjlol:

Suni got the crown now :wow:

This is actually part of the problem with gymnastics. We discard ppl so easily. I saw a post on fb claiming Suni is better and has more heart than Simone ever had :dahell:

A professional female gymnasts' career is extremely short (with few exceptions). The Olympics is the holy grail for gymnasts - they have nothing else to fall back on. Also, once you're pass the age of 22, you're consider to be old for gymnastics.

Simone Biles is 24, she's even said that her teammates have sometimes made jokes about her being "old".

yeah like 99% of gymnasts are done after one olympics, two if they are lucky unless you're representing one of those bum ass countries where you can keep milking it.

Oksana Chusovitina is like the rare exception

I doubt it, just because getting pregnant can ruin your career

however
Roger federer met his wife at the olympic village in 2000
Kristi yamagouchi met her husband at the olympic village in 1992

Plenty of olympic athletes have kids in the midst of their careers. If anything, getting preggers at the Olympics is the best outcome since you’ll likely be heading into your off season. You can start training for the next year of competition after you’ve given birth and have 2.5 years to get back in top shape for the next Olympics

Beach volleyball match has me working out on my off day. That 38-year old Brazilian woman's abs and delts had me embarrassed while eating my breakfast this morning :flabbynsick:
