commented on a gymnastics video about how it was a shame that the international broadcast for yesterday's world championship women's finals didn't show julia soares' from brazil solo because i loved it (i watched the brazilian broadcast that did show it), she did so well especially considering she had just fallen off the beam, she aced it and helped give confidence back to the whole team and then linked to the only youtube video i could find for it. and then a middle aged slightly butch woman replied with "thank you dear, i'm going to watch it. big hug!"

what i'm getting at is that my rizz is off the charts women love me

#lmao but i did find it heart warming like thank you middle aged kind of butch woman <3 #also the final was insane like i watched most of it literally trembling feeling my heart race #i was rooting so so so hard for brazil and i cried a little when we won silver #we had never won a teams world medal!! ever!!#and our athletes have been through so much: rebeca flavinha and jade especially #like jade is 32!! she won her first (out of now three) world medal 16 years ago! there was a gymnast from another country that wasn't born!#and she got hurt last olympic cycle and only just came back!! acing her vault at 32!!!#and flavinha had never won a world medal despite being one of the current best!! she was always away for medical reasons or extremely unluc #and rebeca god rebeca had 3 ucls!!! and she came back won two olympic medals last olympics and of course did awesome yesterday #current 2nd best in the world only behind simone biles who is simone biles like she's just in a category of her own #shout out to team france too the last time they had won was in 1950 and they qualified at 7th so they really weren't expecting bronze #but the girls gave their all and especially mdjds absolutely aced it like that beam performance was beautiful and under so much pressure!!#anyway i'm not gonna pretend that i follow gymnastics that closely #but whenever i know there's international events finals i like to watch if i can or at least the highlights #it's such an incredible and jaw dropping sport and the women's especially is so beautiful #plus brazil solos always so fun with good music choice and actual dancing in the choreo #daiane dos santos with brasileirinho changed lives #my post
