The Olympic Vault Has Changed Just A Bit Since 1932

Laugh out loud funny side-by-side right there and exactly why I say any athletes from, like, 1970 or before wouldn’t even make high school rosters today. Babe Ruth? Sucked. Bart Starr? Joke. Bobby Hull? Maybe he makes JV at Avon. There’s just no comparing with the genetic freaks we’re producing these days. I mean if you look at that 1932 clip I’d be a legit contender for the gold. I’ll be humble and say I probably wouldn’t win, but I’d be in the running. I’d definitely medal, that’s for sure. That dude simply runs and jumps over the horse while today they’re doing acrobatics that would make an F-18 fighter pilot pass out from the G force. Spins and flips and rotations that will literally jar your mind and in the 1930s the winning move was jumping over a fence like you’re running from your neighbor’s dog. Pisses me off when people wax poetic about old-time athletes like they’d have a fucking prayer at competing with today’s mutants.
