Male Gymnasts

It used to be that we would describe Japanese Gymnasts as having the kind of body that a man, a real man should have. Now I see the over size biceps from all countries that need strapping so they wouldn’t get damaged during performance on the parallel bars. And the skills are spills. I can safely say there has not been a proportionate increase in skill when compared with other sports.

 

Male Gymnasts

Memory takes me back to previous events

A time when gymnasts were infallible gents

Lauded for their superior sport

Equaled to none other by international report

Gymnastics shaped men into enviable bodies

You watched their physiques and abilities

My amazement was dispelled by the men from Beijing

None of them had given an incredible routine

Athletes from all disciplines have been improving

Swimming faster, diving sharper and wow, see the running

Though the Chinese won, no team shone

Somehow Male Gymnasts aren’t the supermen I had known
