Is it my TV screen or or do these guys look weak? In terms of muscularity and definition I mean?
IIRC..it seems like they're not as muscular as gymnasts in the past.
Anyone have a clue? Is it because of different training techniques/nutrition?

Dont people realize than a bikini larger than 7cm can cause........Chafing!
Chafing can lead to infection and a lot of people die from infections every year.

I'm an ancient 10 000 meters runner I was running at national level. .... PB = 34.23min on 10 k and I can still run 10k around 40min. at 35 yrs old )
1min 40 is really fast !!!!you couldn't just imagine how fast it is :o
good average runner would do that on 1 lap .....but 800m is 2 laps ! For most people if you would go "all out" on one lap you would have difficulty running under 2minutes ;D [cheeky]

for to help put it in better perspective...1600 ( 4 laps) is 1 mile, and they were moving at roughly a 3:20 per mile pace which is about 18mph....
my fastest mile was about 7:20 and it was a 1-off for sure...
