Gymnasts, regardless of age or gender, are always impressive.
One can only dream of having such strength and balance displayed with a gracefulness in front of cameras.
Floor gymnastics is a discipline that allows a gymnast lots of freedom to run, jump, and flip all he wants.
A spring floor is used to provide more bounce.
It also helps prevent potential injuries to lower extremity joints.
The floor is firm enough but provides proper grip for athletes.
Gymnasts train and prepare for a very long time just for that one shot of taking home the gold.
So imagine how annoying it must be to be hampered by something so trivial as an ill-fitting pair of shorts.
Such was the fate of this male gymnast when he took to the floor in the hopes of impressing the judges and his team.
And to be fair, he is really good!
He starts off with a few stretches, a good run and a flip and it all looked like it was going according to plan.
He’s been waiting for this moment so it’s time to shine!
There is a rhythm, a vibe, to floor exercises even though it looks like he’s just throwing his arms up and jumping around.
There’s a purpose for all his movements and really, this young man is doing a fantastic job except for one annoying problem.
His shorts are loose and wanting to fall off.
Now that wouldn’t be a problem at home or the gym since he could just stop, tighten them or even change.
But in the middle of a competition?
Poor guy must have been so irritated.
But he doesn’t stop his routine though, maintaining his composure like a real pro the entire time.
Just watch whenever he runs, jumps and flips.
His shorts start going down to the point that you can see his underwear. So what’s a guy to do?
He pulls them up when he can!
A viewer named Bobsled had this to say about the poor guy’s situation,
“He did such a fantastic job in spite of his uniform not being fitted for him. That has to be so frustrating to put in all that work and have to fight the distraction of clothing issues. He handled it like a professional though. Good on him.”
The video features some of his best moments in slow motion, and you can see his shorts almost coming off.
How he controls his movements without letting them completely come off is anyone’s guess.
But this is certainly not a situation anyone wants to find themselves in.
Try to imagine yourself out in a mall with your shorts wanting to constantly fall off.
Not fun at all.
The question is, where did he get those shorts?
Or who gave those to him?
Don’t they have drawstrings?
This young athlete still finished his routine impressively.
It’s not a moment he’ll ever forget though.
Watch this young gymnast struggle with his shorts in the video below!
