The height at 1:30 is just too much.

Also impressive when she does stuff like that (and other gymnasts just not as well) because she's getting all of that height from fully controlled momentum rather than thrust from her legs. When she gets that crazy height into that crazy spiral and tuck, her legs are mostly straight when they launch off the mat.
I'm starting to get to the age where it hurts just getting off the couch or out of bed, so watching this kind of stuff is sometimes mindblowing to me.
Youth is wasted on the young, lol.

It's messed up.
Meanwhile, with European soccer over, I found myself turning back to women's softball. it the NCAA tournie and damn is it engaging. Last night the number one seed--Oklahoma--played defending champ UCLA in an elimination game and Oklahoma's second game of the day. Thrilling. Oklahoma came back from being 0-3 down to win 10-3, led by a player who came off the bench in the first game to knock in 3 runs and hit a homer. She hit two more homers against UCLA, the 5'3" Mackenzie Donihoo.
