Top 10 Reasons to Get Excited for the Olympics: #4 Romanian Gymnastics
Guess what? 2012 is
not just the year of the Olympics. It is also the moment that happens once
every four years when someone actually notices that Romania exists.
Questions for You:
Who is the most
famous Romanian you know?
Exactly, they are
all gymnasts.
Exception of
Nikolae Ceausescu, the late notorious sadist.
There you have it.
Romania is the land of gymnastics and people that starve each other.
However, this is a
time once every four years when Romania has the light shining center stage for
nothing more than talent and ability. I will certify that the Romanian
gymnastics squads will take the field this year, and they will put on a
spotlight performance.
It’s just what they
do…aside from starving people.
I remember the
first time I watched Romanian gymnast, Nadia Comaneci land the first perfect 10
in gymnastics history at the 1976 Montreal Games, and I was nothing more than
stunned.
Who knows what will
happen this year?
Sorry to breake it to you, we don't starve ourselves or each other for that matter in Romania. And, yes we pride ourselves with Nadia, Lavinia, Simona, and all our great Gymnasts. If Caroli wouldn not have come to the US, you guys would never had won anything in gymnastics.
ReplyDeleteStop being so condescendent about any other nation. After all you enslaved blacks for 200 years, starving them, not us!!!
Yes, USA did enslave black people...you are RIGHT to criticize USA (of that time period) for that, the same way it is right to criticize the Ceausescu Regime, as well as other internal problems of Eastern Europe....it's through criticism that someone or something can evolve and not repeat the same mistakes of the past.
DeleteAnd you its CEAUSESCU, not ceaucescu.
ReplyDeleteAnd you, it's condescending, not condescendent.
DeleteYou and I should play scrabble sometime.

ReplyDeleteI don't want to fight. I just wanted to play scrabble and get her drunk on wine coolers. #3rdBaseToniyeet.
