Lefteris Petrounias: Amazing Performance at the Olympic Gala

The gymnastics gala might be the strangest event of the Games. There are gymnasts in action, there are no medals at stake and on occasion, someone will take their clothes off.

The event is a telling window into what happens when gymnasts let their hair down. Wednesday’s edition featured multiple acts of stripping (PG-rated), at least one wig and a gymnast doubling as a human jump rope. It also gave the frequently overlooked men of gymnastics their moment in the spotlight.

Greek gold medalist Lefteris Petrounias had the opportunity to offer another amazing spectacle to the crowd of Rio, when he performed another once again on the rings.
