Around about the time the Olympics begin, even the most sport hating gay suddenly gets a newfound love of the various different disciplines on display in the two-week programme. Maybe it’s a sense of national pride (the Euros 2020 finale were the most watched TV moment since Princess Diana’s funeral) or maybe, just maybe, it's due to the likes of Nikita Nagornyy.
As far as Gymnastics goes – yes, it is quite a unique hobbie to be into or even just to follow. But there are many reasons to make gymnastics your new fave watch. Gymnasts are physical artists in their own right, just watching them get into the craziest positions and perform stunts that would be near impossible for most of us is truly fascinating.
