Gymnastics!

Ok, so I was eight year old in 1996 when the Magnificent 7 was the greatest thing ever. I was an eight year old girl. Obviously, I was obsessed. I was an eight year old girl.

And so, after that 1996 highlight of my life, I must forever watch every single second of women's Olympic gymnastics. Honestly, I'm not even sure I consider gymnastics a sport. Competitive, athletic, yes. Obviously. But it's not objective, you know? Not like a race or a soccer game where you just finish first or you get the most goals. It's based on scores, which have a system, but are still subjective (apparent since judges will give different scores to the same girl for the same routine).

But I don't care. That is irrelevant. I simply must watch all of it. I simply must.
