Seems to get younger and smaller each year with more difficulty! Incredible. Thanks for posting.

Certainly points well made about the increasingly Breed 'em and Feed 'em nature of the competitive gymnastics world.
But......
My God, My God how beautiful that humans can do that. It's easy to forget the transcendent nature of such effort, and how chill-inducing it can be when it's relieved of its usual "Oh how courageous she is to compete when her kitten just had a hangnail" soundtrack from the airheads who "comment" on such competitions.
Wonderful work. The timing of the video and the soundtrack is just brilliant.
