1988 Paul Hunt gymnastics comedy beam routine

[@jasoraso]

This is my daughters coach!! We love to watch him on this. He is still amazing today.

[@mountainDreamer]

Paul Hunt WAS an Olympic gymnist in the 70's...a renown gymnast and women's coach that always had fun. He is a trip.

[@olgaogurtsova6418]

I saw this at the end 2020 for the first time!!! It's SOMETHING UNBELIEVABLE😄😄😄!!!!!! It deserves a MEDAL!!!!! Is anyone else watching this nowadays? 👋

[@janeriordan6228]

Saw it only today..he is hilarious So entertaining!!!

[@buzzlight680]

I am! 😅

[@classicaldeb]

Yup!

[@domenjacarrerot3]

Yes I do from France. I discovered his videos today and I laughed sooo much that I shared them with a maximum of friends and family. Isn’t laughter the best remedy to those dark clouds over our beautiful planet and all living creatures ?! So let spread those great moments as much as we can all over the planet. Thank you Paul Hunt for your genuine generosity. God bless you, beautiful heart.

[@johannadawe2569]

@@domenjacarrerot3 Amazing gymnast

[@_ytnahs]

He did a split UNDER the beam xD

[@momcat2223]

...and *that's* when I started laughing so hard, I had to pause this bc I couldn't see...

[@gaviriak]

Kía S. now i want to try it in my gym tomorrow 😆

[@arismultimedia]

I can't love this more. He is the spirit of beauty, strength and fun that we are missing in the world today.

[@kalayne6713]

I try to watch this incredible athlete once a day.He deserves a gold medal for putting a smile on people's faces. Enjoy retirement, Mr Hunt.

[@budgiebreder]

The skill required to do this so badly but so epically is incredible! Some of these moves should be in the olympics.

[@ZeskoWhirligan]

AND... He's still doing it, even to this day, at the age of 62.

[@cecisplendor67]

whauuuu!!!!

[@abigaelfausett3566]

Yeah he was my coach for 5 years actually he’s still incredible to this day 😂

[@amiraanimates4481]

He is my coach

[@bulldawgs2002]

He is absolutely nuts!! I had the opportunity to see him perform in ‘97 or ‘98..absolutely genius. He had the audience cracking up with his routines that were truly difficult and filled with amazing gymnastics.

[@nicki446]

So brilliant. The splits underneath the beam made my day.

[@АннаДавыдова-ъ6у]

уже не в первый раз смотрю. Ни пошлости ни этой современной "грязи". Нравиться. Класс .Здорово!!

[@DarinaBK]

Потрясающе! 🤣🤣🤣👍👏👏👏Мастерство, юмор и актёрская игра. Номер - огонь! Жаль сейчас такого нельзя делать. Мы многое теряем

[@OIFVet0304]

Paul's parody routines were, and still are, priceless acts of comedy. There was never a complaint, always cheers! :)

[@ТатьянаМаевская-к2э]

Великолепный мужской номер на женском снаряде! Вызывает не смех, а просто шок!!! До чего прекрасно и неимоверно сложно! Браво! Браво!! Браво!!!!

[@julianndavis9415]

2020 has finally been horrific enough that KZbin algorithm put this in my recommended Thanks KZbin You got one right

[@nicholasgiaquinto3278]

I remember him he is joyous! He always brings light and laughter into the room what an awesome guy.

[@НадеждаДудник-к5л]

*я умираю с этого номера. Какая мимика, какая игра. Про выполнение трюков уже не говорю. Смотрю не первый раз.

[@ГригорийБегменко-ф7и]

Это больше ,чем отличный спортсмен !

[@Gaetafix]

He's actually a several-time champion with his own academy, don't be fooled he just has a very good sense of humor and used to do shows like this for comic relief (and possibly other events too but I'm not sure)

[@LightDragon532]

What a pro! Fantastic routine. Amazing he could do this so well...balance beam isn't even in the mens' competition. Thanks to whomever posted this video.

[@bavpazz]

Such a wonderful comedic and skillful performance! Made my day!

[@fujxdryjc]

всего 33 года назад это было комедией, а сейчас реальность.

[@Buskieboy]

Funny guy. I've never seen gymnasts being comedic. They're usually so intense and focused; smiling by serious. Good guy! I loved when he did the upside down pose! Priceless. 5*'s

[@Glorindellen]

he was my gymnastics teacher in my youth. I used to have nightmares about him sentencing me to do back walkovers for 1000 years!

[@иринакозырева-б5п]

Ой, молодец какой! В довольно сложных упражнениях столько юмора! Особенно смайлик на попе👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣

[@mornington2427]

Love it, imagine this in todays "everything is offensive " world. I love the under the beam splits !!

[@jessicafredrickson3204]

I was thinking the same thing! People would be going nuts!

[@Dahgrostabphri]

Wow, I never saw that before, that dude was something else! The difficulty level alone would have earned him a Gold.

[@carolegastin2495]

J'adore les rubans dans les cheveux 😁😁😁 Parodie + talent =😘😘😘😘😘

[@ЛюдмилаКизенко-я8ь]

Классно! Красиво! Столько положительных эмоций! Как всё точно подмечено за гимнастами! Браво!!!

[@JMigUK]

The world needs more of this

[@fredsavage4925]

this is a man who totally gets it. bravo!

[@mariahammarstrom7934]

Gotta love a pro who can laugh at themselves.

[@12yench]

I just discovered this guy.. Within 30 seconds, I already love him! :D

[@myrceea89]

"when we're competing against the Romanians he becomes Paul HuntESCU" :D respect to all my gymnast back home! nadia, baby, you brought us into the world!

[@jbgant8513]

1980s was the greatest decade to grow up in, for a host of reasons.

[@小田花菖蒲]

良く考えましたね。何度も見て毎回、笑える

[@Slugo0893]

"I'll tell you what, he worked that beam from one side to the other."

[@ЦветочекСчастья-з7р]

Это самое прекрасное что я видела)))

[@KERBLIMEY]

Absolutely hilarious, very good at what he does considering he's trying to be bad. 😃

Everyone needs humor! God bless you Paul.

[@BigWyatt01]

his gymnastics are pretty incredible actually

[@JulienNeel]

Bravo! This should be an Olympic event in its own right!

[@mindakahn9964]

This is hysterical. This is so good. We n Ed to see more. My parents spent a fortune on my lessons. I was a great vaulter, pretty good at uneven bars, great at rhythmic gymnastics although it wasn’t an event when I was young, but the beam terrified me. Oh well not a gymnast.

[@Esperance1964]

This is JUST what I needed today!!!! Thanks for posting this, and thank you Paul Hunt!

[@Wania_Guimaraes]

A única recomendação do KZbin que eu realmente gostei 😁👍🏼. Mesmo sendo uma brincadeira o cara é muito bom 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Brasil, 05/12/2020

[@ria-zul-zannah7100]

This man is amazing!

[@carolejones9044]

What wonderful skills, I enjoy these performances and never tire of watching him

[@gymmerz]

I thought the full split under the balance beam was brilliant! Man. This made my day!

[@dashoverton1963]

It actually took a lot of strength to do what he did on these apparatuses.

[@АннаСоляник-щ7щ]

Ой! На хохоталась!СПАСИБО!!ВОТ ЭТО -ТАЛАНТ!!!!

[@сева0404]

Так вот где был первый смайлик!)))

[@Ninatv2007]

"Paulette Huntinova" is a great athlete and very funny.

[@jakelineramos7198]

This have to be part of the olímpic games,soooo funny and talented.

[@judib52]

This is GREAT!! This guy is amazingly talented, and very, very funny!

[@elenitelzanova9196]

НЕВЕРОЯТНО ТАЛАНТЛИВО....СЛОВ НЕТ.

[@hmddoc]

I remember watching this when I was a kid. It was very funny at the time.

[@HDQH]

Hilarious! What fun they must have had putting this routine together!! Thanks for posting this to KZbin!

[@annaoddi2257]

This is absolute gold.

[@terenunez6171]

Graciosisimo cuando queda abajo de la barra, es el único que ha hecho esa maravilla 😁😊👍😃😜🎉

[@galinam.1410]

2021, BRAVO!!!!

[@nikkidodd2305]

Wow, he's actually very good at this!

[@hellotrump2024]

Wow I would love to see him perform in person. This was so fun to watch.

[@jimkreider9997]

Excellent. Love this guy. Too bad about his studio having to close due to covid

[@user-qx7rf9rn3i]

Штатовские гимнастки сейчас так примерно и выглядят.

[@АннаДавыдова-ъ6у]

Интересно , где сейчас и как сложилась спортивная карьера этой восхитительной гимнастки))?

[@ИринаНадыршина-р2п]

БРАВО! Красавец!

[@gymnastalexliang]

Thank you for sharing this - brings back old memories from back in the 80s!

[@dianajo4]

Absolutely brilliant. Takes a lot of talent to do that

[@sandysox]

I so enjoy this act but he is magnificent...it must hurt sometimes

[@michelleviala9924]

He's fun and very colourful

[@amathenderson7318]

When the aliens get here... I hope they review this human footage... Just Brilliant !!! Mr. Hunt wherever you may be.

Oh my goodness! This is hilarious: Take a look at the fantastic skills Paul Hunt or "Paulette Huntinova". #Brilliant #Gymnastics #Olympics

[@LarsFosdal]

That's an awesome display of control and humor :)

[@EmmettLollis]

At first I thought it was Bill Murray. But to be honest, the further along I watched it l, the stronger my desire to find a good psychologist became.

[@violantederojas6188]

Paul Hunt is a legend..and a damned good gymnast!

[@ТатьянаГлухова-и9ы]

Очень интересно послушать перевод комментаторов 🤗

[@ЕленаЕлена-ч9ъ5ц]

Браво!)))...замечательный)))

[@cindybogart6062]

This is great… still!!!✨

[@ЛюбаЛюбимчик]

Круто, супер, брависимо!!! 🙂

[@TarmaHartley]

LOL!!! Absolutely wonderful! This is GREAT! :) Not only is he a great gymnast, he has a great sense of humour, as well! Can't beat that! :D WOnderfully funny and I enjoyed it very much! Thanks for sharing! :) *faves*

[@zeramski]

Indeed. I think today's gymnasts could stand to learn from this guy - i.e. How to have fun and just relax. Not be so stoic and focused on perfection. It might even help to make their routines better!

[@KadenLunt]

He now owns a gym in Utah, my sister had a meet there last week :)

[@ЛюдмилаЗабелина-ю5л]

10!!!!!! 10 лет назад, а мне выскочило только сегодня Оно мне надо

[@susanberg2774]

This guy is really talented! Bravo!

[@peachesmcc]

Absolutely fantastic. Should be the toast of the balance beam.

[@altinabraz3736]

Este cara é sensacional.

[@dancipixi]

Upside down splits!!! Wow

[@1963cv]

Браво! Бесподобно!

[@nedraleggett9088]

I needed to laugh now. Thank you. Paul Hunt.

[@DanceFlip96]

I Love Paul! I used to compete at his Gym. Hunts' Gymnastics Academy. He is amazing, and so funny!

[@sami7798]

I love the part were his leg is shaking and he pulls down his skirt! Lol

[@miggicsi]

I have searched for the name of this background music for so long. Even went through all the comments underneath to find it - with no luck - found just others looking for the name too. But finally I found it. It is Frank Mills - Ballet Russe (By the name Ballet Russie here on youtube).

[@spockofdune8657]

+miggicsi THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! been looking for it for childhood (40 years)

[@GirlyBitsCosmetics]

this is pure fun. I love the upside down splits!

[@timmyfung01]

I had watched a few other videos about this guy, they were him using his superd skill and strength making himself look like a fool to amuse the audiences..... but hey, this stuff is hard, and he must have used a lot of time to think of a few funny moves and lots of time in practicing... eventhough I ain't a fan of gynastic, but I still respect him a lot. and if there is a six stars for this video, I would give it....

[@loriharrod2147]

Laughed so hard I thought I would have an aneurysm. Brilliant!

[@KitKatKash]

that was really GOOD!!!!!!!! i really liked that routine it was awesome great job!

[@shelleybuckingham733]

[@Uriboomboom]

This just made my day so much better! hahaha!!!

[@goncharenkoirina3540]

15 лет назад шутка, сегодня реальность....

[@tedsler]

[@ГалинаМеркурьева-ы2щ]

Дальнейших успехов! Браво!
