That's a tactful way of putting it.
Us Australians would just say, "What a fucking stubborn cunt." while clapping and doing those "I can't believe it, but good on them" contemplative head shakes
Then by Monday their Wiki page has tripled in size and everyone's debating if they're Bradbury level or not.
Charline Picon won gold in Rio and silver in Tokyo in the old windsurfing format. After they changed to the new IQfoil style boards for this Olympics she switched sports to 49er (two man dinghy), completely starting from scratch - including having to learn how to work as a two person team.
She ended up taking bronze! These competitors blow my mind.
Just lost her father a few weeks ago too. Damn.
Couldn't live here bendy dream, so she stiffened up....impressively adaptable.
Edit: Yes yes an awful pun, I realize that you'd actually spend a lot of time being rather stiff with flexed muscles to stay in control of your body in gymnastics.
Don't let the details get in the way of a good story!
Noodly appendages and all that
