March 7

Gymnastics is the kind of sport that leaves so many unanswered questions.
How did the first person discover & popularize the balance beam? Did they have a few boards propped up on something and too much time on their hands and before you know it, they were inviting people over saying, "Look what I can do"? And then did somebody say, "Well, that's nothin'-check THIS out" and they started the first balance beam competition?
What do fellow gymnasts say to each other after a routine? Do they say things like, "Wow, you sure are great at flipping"? or "I liked the way you went around and around on the bars"?
How does a male coach of female gymnastics get a wife? How does a man tell a woman, "I want to guide cute, young girls who prance around in leotards and I want to do it in a very hands-on sort of way" and have her okay with that?
Finally and perhaps the biggest question of all is this-would it be more difficult to be married to a man who's a gynecologist or a female gymnastics coach?
