One thing I have always wondered

Competitive Gymnastics vs cirque de solei

Seriously, couldn’t someone from cirque de soleil blow out an Olympic gymnast in competition?

They aren't getting the top 1% of those athletes that can reach the national championships or Olympics.

It was blow your mind awesome, well worth the price of the tickets. Sorry, but I find the Olympics rather boring. I would rather pay $200 for Cirque tickets than $50 for Olympics tickets. So either I am not sophisticated enough to enjoy the minutia of Olympic judging, or the Olympics need a new strategy.
