Obligatory Olympics Post

I've gotten all excited about gymnastics again, like I do about every, say, four years. I keep watching this awesome video of Nadia Comaneci's perfect 10 on uneven bars. It's not the first perfect 10, but it was at the same 1976 Montreal Olympics where Nadia got the first 10. I like this routine better. :)

I love the breath-taking-ness. I keep

After watching the video, my thought was that the bars are a lot further apart now so they couldn't do that. And looking at the wiki for uneven bars this appears to be correct: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uneven_bars

Okay, that makes sense. It also seemed to me like the dimensions were different, but I thought that was in comparison to the gymnast's height. I didn't think about them changing the actual bars. Thanks!
