Hey I got something for you to think about. That picture of Buzz Aldrin is pretty cool, but did you ever ask yourself why there was only a few inches of space dust if the Earth and the moon are over billions of years old. Apollo 11 scientist calculated there be over 6ft of space dust on the moon using the billion of years. The lunar module eagle was even designed to land on heavy dust, but to there surprise it as only 2 inches.

Rhys, I'm watching this in November 2022 and you have just won a world championship 🥇🥇🥇🏆. You are amazing

Have you tried the H flop yet? Do you find the backward entry for Russians easier than forward entry? What is your circle record? Who is in your top 5 list for the greatest of all time pommel workers? Could you do all the skills you compete now as a junior? How many routines would you do in a session/ week when leading up into a World Cup or world championships? How many hours a week do you train? Do you believe training more hours produces better results? Do you feel nervous when competing?

Hahaha you literally meant syrup! I had no idea lol I guess the stickiness gets covered by the chalk/powder. Looked like you used honey. That leg sling looks cool. I'm a long time skier and my legs are pretty much shot. Bad knees, and I'm in my 30s. I always thought the pommel horse looked really cool when someone knows what they're doing. As an adult that wants to get in shape, your core exercises were pretty inspiring. And that sling could be a great intro for someone whose curious

🧡What's the strangest/ funniest/ scariest thing you thought during a routine? 💚What's you least fave piece of apparatus and will you ever compete it? 💙If you could wake up tomorrow in the body of another gymnast, who would he be? (Uchimura is not allowed!) 💛If you were in university, what would you be doing? 💜What would be your the biggest failure of your life?

Gets a taxpayer funded grant of 40 grand a year

[@Kitty8791]

​@@mikeryan7213That's $40,000 in Euros, so ~$50,000 in USD. I saw those numbers in an article from 2012. I'm assuming they should be making slightly more now.
