gymnastics
If you’re an athlete who runs from side to side or jumps up and down, these cute cats will love you, regardless of where you’re from!
A South Korean and North Korean gymnast have shown the world the two nations can live peacefully side-by-side with one selfie.
If you’ve ever had to attend one of your sibling’s high school gymnastics team performances and been bored out of your mind at all the jumping around and the bizarre Whose Lines is it Anyway/Clueless Gamer–style grading system, and thought to yourself, “Man, I’d be much more entertained if this was set to the Attack on Titan theme song. And would it kill these guys to throw a fart joke in there?,” you’re in luck; because this genius Kagoshima Prefecture high school men’s gymnastics team delivers on all of that in spades.
