And not just in Poland.  :GBR Gymnastics legend Max Whitlock will retire after Paris.  Cannot tell you how unlikely a British Olympic Gold Medallist in Gymnastics seemed back in the 70s and 80s, but he got there.

 

Max Whitlock to retire after Paris 2024 Olympics - BBC Sport

To those of us of a certain vintage, British gymnast (or Irish for that matter) was an oxymoron on the level of a Samoan luger. Sure, it was technically possible, but they weren't gonna win much. Neil Thomas was legendary for his seemingly lone bid to make British gymnastics actually mean something, until the arrival of Beth Tweddle, who probably ought to have ben the first Olympic gold. But for Max to be sitting on 3 Olympic golds, 6 medals including an AA medal, and be in the conversation for the greatest pommel worker of all time...

 

He will be missed.

I watched her in Paris one of my favourite players. She has so many injures but she could make more :(

In 1996 no British gymnast finished in the top 50 in any Olympic event.

      It's really funny - the VO has had a constitutional majority for 16 years and someone always blocked him from fulfilling its brilliant plan Without these hostile actions, Hungary would probably have been at the level of Switzerland in terms of GDP a long time ago Btw., in sports, Hungary probably also had better results in the 90s and early 2000s than during the VO era? I mean in the summer, because in the winter, apart from the episode with the Liu brothers - now China in short track, it's probably always been pretty poor level.

      For me is aimed at domestic consumption. BTW, Brussels and Ukraine is happening at the same time as far as constructed "enemies" are concerned. Does anyone still fall for this? Maybe someone over 80 years for sure.  A couple of years ago (but after the war broke out) an old man (in his own admission he was 82) in a local bar tried to convince me that without Don Vittorio in the government, I would be already fighting in Eastern Ukraine  Needless to say, he was unsuccessful.
