like 10 seconds into the routine and i already don’t even fucking know how to explain what just happened, what
0:44 - so like, i guess first gymnast1 passes a hoop to gymnast2, who’s already holding a ribbon
gymnast2 passes the ribbon through the hoop so the hoop is now hanging off the ribbon
and she swings the hoop around by the ribbon, and then sends the hoop flying off to gymnast3 while still keeping the ribbon for herself?? what the fuck just happened i need a frame-by frame-slowmotion analysis, what the fuck
0:56 - THEY TURNED THE RIBBONS INTO A TRAMPOLINE TO BOUNCE A HOOP OFF IT???
1:02 - HOW THE FUCK ARE THEY EVEN DOING THIS, THEY’RE PASSING THE HOOPS DOWN THE RIBBON BACK AND FORTH
ALL WHILE THE FIFTH GYMNAST DOES A THROW+JUMP THROUGH WHATEVER THE FUCK THAT IS
1:30 - casually uses the ribbon to throw hoops at each other again, alright, whatever, i guess this is just a basic thing for them now i guess
HOW DO YOU FIGURE OUT THE PHYSICS TO USE ONE GYMNAST TO PASS THREE RIBBONS AND TWO HOOPS TO THE ENTIRE TEAM WITH A SINGLE WALKOVER
2:19 - have they just given up entirely on regular exchanges at this point, like now it’s either rebounds or nothing, how the fuck do you even train up the precision and accuracy to throw hoops at another gymnast, who then knees and uses– i dont even know, her hand? the side of her body? her leg? - to rebound the hoop back at you???
2:25 - HOW IS SHE CONTROLLING THE RIBBON SO ACCURATE BY WHIPPING IT AROUND WITH A HOOP
IT’S SO HARD TO KEEP A RIBBON UNDER CONTROL WITH YOUR HAND LIKE A GOD DAMN NORMAL GYMNAST AS IS HOW DID SHE SEND IT BACK TO HER TEAMMATE
2:48 - THIS IS WHERE I DRAW THE LINE
THERE IS WHERE I DRAW THE FUCKING LINE
IS TURNING A RIBBON INTO A GODDAMN HOOP SO YOU CAN SPIN IT AROUND WITH TWO OTHER RIBBONS
HOW IN THE FRESH PRINCE OF BELFUCK IS THIS HAPPENING
2:52 - “anyway now that we’ve left the audience entirely fucking speechless with our abilities to break physics lets finish this off with two last minute fancy pants rebounds just to top it off”
how do you even manage a rebound off your shoulders without hitting your head while doing an over-180-degree straddle jump ?????
russia what the fuck?????????
