My reaction was — I don’t think Uchimura or Charlie Tamayo could EVER have trained to do a routine something like this. And I’d rank them the two most “talented” gymnast ever.

She never does less than half a routine.

Peng Peng Lee’s Bhardwaj is superb, too. And there’s a guy doing Tippelt on P Bars pretty much to handstand. From Austria, perhaps. There are so many guys training shirtless simultaneously on all events that it’s tough to keep track who’s who. (The ladies basically only compare abs.)
