Olympics: Physical comedy

Gymnast Paul Hunt performs classic physical comedy of the absurd by mixing highly skilled technique with ridiculous choreography. This amusing interlude deconstructs the discourse of balance beam routines while impressing an audience that is familiar with the prevailing narrative. A good time is had by all!

Downhill Alp skating in a skate suit

He then demonstrates with a downhill run that shows him veering between mountain lanes at high speed. But brave and incredible the whole time! This man is a dreamer and makes our reality more interesting.
