Gymnastics competitions on YouTube

Wow. Hundreds of Gymnastics competitions and events on YouTube are linked to one searchable Google document.

Check it out.

This document is a list of elite gymnastics meets found on YouTube (as well as some extras like NCAA post season and some professional league meets).

It is part of a project aimed at helping fans navigate the wonderful blessing of many thousands of hours of video but also helping gymnasts find their own performances they might think have been lost.

Dolly Parton for the Paris Olympics

On July 26, the iconic Dolly Parton released the official music video for her rendition of “We Are the Champions” and “We Will Rock You” by Queen to promote the 2024 Paris Olympics. …

“I love the Olympics! I do my best to plan my schedule to watch as much of it as I possibly can,” Parton said …

The songs are back to back tracks off of the legendary band’s 1977 album News of the World. “We Will Rock You” was written by guitarist Brian May and “We Are the Champions” was written by lead singer Freddie Mercury. …

Steph Curry’s coach Bob McKillop

Steph Curry is one of the greatest basketball players all time.

On the Golden State Warriors he’s coached by Steve Kerr, who’s won 5 titles as a player and 4 as head coach of the Warriors.

Kerr is the NBA coach I follow most closely. A fantastic teacher, obviously. And also a vocal defender of human rights.

But in the new documentary, Kerr is not singled out. Yet Steph has nothing but praise for his NCAA Division 1 coach Bob McKillop. The Silver Fox.

McKillop was the only coach to offer Steph a College Scholarship. To Davidson College. A school with only 2000 students.

Smart. Like a fox.

After all, Steph is only 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m) and weighed perhaps 150 pounds when leaving high school.

Stephen Curry: Underrated details Curry’s path to NBA stardom.  But is not focused on his 4 championship rings.

The theme is how underrated he has been throughout his career. Many experts quick to count him and the Warriors out. More often than not, the doubters have been proved wrong.

I enjoyed most the parts of the documentary dealing with family. And with his extended family at Davidson.

I’ve been a big fan of Steph Curry for years. As I was with 2x NBA MVP Steve Nash. About the same size — 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) — and also went out un-recruited out of High School in Canada. Finally Santa Clara coach Dick Davey reached out. Smart.

Lesson to be learned is NOT to count out athletes who do not have the ideal physical attributes for the sport.
