Watch the last tumbling run. The human body should not be able to do that.

Yeah but she did it intentionally, not when she was falling down the stairs.
I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

No idea. How do you learn to do that without permanently crippling yourself? Plus, did she wake up one morning and think "Hey, I bet I could jump way up in the air and come down in the splits, bounce off the floor into a standing position, smile all the time, and still be able to walk to the edge of the mat."

It's called a "split bounce." She has done it in competition before.

Yeah, watching that split--->bounce--->standing part of the routine had me definitely cringe at the thought of how many things I would have torn or crushed in my body attempting to do that.

I've seen that done before, butt there's usually a shiny pole involved

Perfect 10 in college but she’d get lit up at the international level because the judges hate overweight girls.

Tell me I’m wrong.

Don’t hate this poster, hate the game.

You’re thinking of the slit bounce.

She'd already been there, done that. She got injured so decided to compete at the collegiate level. Probably a healthier environment, anyway.
