I really miss Kenzo Shirai😭💔
I think about him a lot, and just needed to express that.

“I know it's called "Women's" Artistic Gymnastics, but is there actually a rule in the CoP which would prevent Kenzo Shirai from competing? Because the UB he's casually doing "for fun" is amazing.”

George Nissen maybe didn't deserve that though
no idea where i was going with this but i abandoned it at the most disconcerting moment possible
#I know his daughter and several people who were his colleagues/associates back in the day#the man basically singlehandedly invented both the trampoline and the sport of trampoline gymnastics from the ground up#(the idea of flexible netting was taken from trapeze safety nets but the frame and springs that makes it rebound was all him)#and the trampoline and loose foam pit basically completely revolutionized the sport of gymnastics#the world would not have gymnasts doing what Simone Biles and Jade Carey and Kenzo Shirai and so on do without Nissen's work and influence#and like... let me be clear#Nissen equipment is HIGH quality#(not just the trampolines; his company also made all of the regular artistic equipment)#and decades after it ceased operation many clubs out there are STILL using their Nissen equipment because it LASTS AND LASTS AND LASTS#and if you've been on a Nissen trampoline you know... there have been imitators there have been duplicators but there is only ONE originator#it really was a case where there's a marked difference between the trademarked Genuine Article and the shoddy knockoffs#and the trademark has a role in consumer protection knowing that you're actually getting what you think you're buying#idk. call me crazy. he's got a sport he invented in the Olympics and you don't though#RIP

obligatory not a gymnast, but my headcanons are under the cut:
dick's great at all of the men's disciplines (pommel horse, horizontal bar, parallel bars, rings, vault, and floor) but his favorites are vault, horizontal bar, and floor. he also really likes beam, but he couldn't compete in it because it's a women's event :(
if he were to attend the olympics, i think he'd compete in vault, horizontal bar, and floor (with a solid maybe on parallel bars). once again, i'm not a gymnast, so i don't know enough about gymnastics to theorize about what routines/skills he'd do, but i do have access to google so i'm copying from other athletes :)
for vault, i think he'd do carlos yulo's at the 2024 olympics (https://youtu.be/EzoDAvYXSQc). artur davtyan's vault in tokyo was also a contender but i, selfishly, think yulo's vault is prettier.
for horizontal bar, epke zonderland's routine at the 2012 olympics (https://youtu.be/W7tOvBEsKbo) is kind of ubiquitous? i guess? but the triple pass is iconic. the video title also helped.
for floor, it was kind of hard. if he could compete in women's, he'd totally do rebekah ripley's barbie girl floor routine (https://youtu.be/G2lWOW5Y8xg?si), but the women's and men's floor routines have different rules. as such, i think dick would do a mix of kenzo shirai's WAG (women's artistic gymnastics) routine (https://www.instagram.com/reel/Ct_kBCkq4Tq/) and his 2016 olympics routine (https://youtu.be/-vZ6CaaRt4U), which is the highest-scoring floor routine ever!
and all of this is dependent on whether dick could convince bruce to let him even go to the olympic trials---a sort of pre-competition competition to see who gets to go to the olympics. staying at the olympic village with their cardboard beds and food poisoning would be like asking batman to twerk on live tv: impossible. (fortunately, athletes don't have to stay at the village.)
to be silly, i think commissioner gordon fires up the batsignal one night and straight up asks The Batman "ask nightwing to go to the olympics. please. they need him."
i cannot emphasize this enough: The Vigilante Nightwing goes to the olympics. dick grayson does not. he keeps the domino on during routines, interviews, everything. he showers in it just to be safe, which all of his family gags at.
overall, i think he and noah lyles would be america's sweethearts. bludhaven's tourism rates would go sharply up, then sharply down once they realize that it's bludhaven.
In the DC universe there's a petition with over five hundred thousand signatures asking Batman to let Robin represent the USA on the male gymnastic team

kenzo with kohei in his arms at the retirement celebration is the sweetest thing I've seen 🥺🥺
"The loneliness of retiring outweighs the fun of wondering what we can do together 😌
Suppose you have a book called Gymnastics Life by Kohei Uchimura. If my name appears on one page or one line there, I wouldn't be so happy.
I will continue to take care of you from now on ✌️"
more photos here or on his instagram
