Paul Hunt Gymnastic Comedy Routine 1983

[@wolfbearice]

Not only that he performed well but he also executed and entertained everyone very well. Now that's a multi talented person.

[@carolynphillips3458]

I so enjoy his comedic routines! He has women gymnasts to the Trouble! He is so strong and so funny!!!!

[@julielowe7462]

Very funny parody, by an obviously very skilled professional Gymnast, with brilliant comic timing, what a wonderful combination !

I came to this after seeing his beam routine, this is so funny but that man was truthfully an absolute athletic man

[@Cricket2731]

He discovered the female skills quite by accident. Male strength + female grace + a very generous helping of comedy = great routine!

[@Chipchase780]

The comedy routine was pure brilliance, but at the same time I’m very impressed at the strength in his arms to be able to do what he did. I couldn’t support my body weight hanging by my arms for 30 seconds while doing nothing else !

[@RebeccaTaylorTillery]

Male gymnasts do routines on rings and parallel bars. That requires as much if not more strength than uneven bars.

[@emillyyelen5169]

@@RebeccaTaylorTillery Yeah rings require most upper body strength

The best part of this video is that the commentators did not comment. Thank god! We were left to enjoy this very funny routine in peace. Genuinely funny, and he's very good!

Umm, you do know that the world was living with the very real threat of all out nuclear war in the 80s? Plus a new deadly disease with no cure & 100% death rate (AIDS), also the famine in Africa killing millions. It wasn't all sunshine & roses.

[@darchelleskipwith3094]

@@MoominDoogie yes I do remember all of those things but they are nothing compared to what we have now. Loss of social contact, freedom of choice and speech. Big Tech censorship. Months of burning,looting and murder termed as mostly peaceful protesting that nothing was done to stop. While a one day rally that in no way came close to the death and destruction of the previous months is termed a deadly riot and insurgency with arrest being made quickly, some with no bail. Democrat politicians talking reeducation centers for those that have different opinions and concentration camps for people that are labled heath risks. A scamdemic and a cancel culture mentality that has killed jobs and peoples businesses. Food insecurity in America at all time high. The knowledge that our votes dont count. You may be able to ignore the signs of voter fraud I cant. Suicides, domestic abuse and murders are higher although some of those are being listed as covid deaths. Oddly enough covid seems to have cured the flu that death rate is way down. The worst is that some morons gave Cardi B her own show. The fall of a civilization continues.

Now if you did that you either seriously think you're the opposite gender or if you did it as a joke all the babies would cry cause it offends them. They have no problem pushing their thoughts and opinions on others even if it offends someone else. They want their feelings considered but won't do the same for others.
