I saw this photo today at work and turned immediately to the article to read more about this girl who had the stones to do a headstand on the balance beam.
Of course, she isn’t doing a headstand. My mind turned this into an optical illusion and pulled the balance beam right under her head, I guess.
Anyway, I deliberately watched the balance beam competition tonight so I could witness this feat, then of course I had to go to the photos to see how I got it so wrong.
Still, given all the insane stuff they do, you can’t blame me for the misinterpretation.

If you look just below her eyes, there’s a white spot. There seems to be a darker straight line descending from that spot. I had her doing a headstand on a baton. On her eyeballs.
I would split my crotch if I tried to do that.
~~Silk- now I can’t see anything but the baton. Sticking in her eyeball.
Hattie – I never could do splits, even as a child.
