They are really nice. Would make a nice calendar!

Indeed, some very nice pictures there.

I still can't believe that Tiompkin leap picture. Does he have springs on the bottom of his feet?

Svetlana Korkhina has very long thin limbs. Too long for gymnastics, although she did quite well. But they're VERY thin. Kinda fragile looking.

Yeah, that is some loft!

Vezzali looks like she's having a particularly painful bowel movement.

I don't think you can find a picture of Vezalli NOT screaming after a win.

Very nice- I guess the Tiompkin photo makes a good case for polymetrics

[edew]

Or plyometrics. Or whatever...

Almost looks like he was making an attack while falling from the sky!

Anyways,did he score a hit with that jump?

Anyways,did he score a hit with that jump?

Unfortunately, no. But at least his opponent didn't either.
