WONDERFUL and TALENTED gymnast Paul/Paulina/Paulette…. Nowadays, would he be considered a DRAG performer? Nobody back in the day (or YOU, just now watching these old video clips!) got corrupted or confused from enjoying themselves at a gymnastics meet featuring Paul’s comedic talents. 😊
I often wondered why we no longer had men doing floor routines in gymnastics. Now I know. No one could beat 'Paulette'. Love it that I can watch him do these comedy routines, decades later.
He's been unbeatable. Incredible flexibility even in his post-competing days. Some of these videos are from when he was older than 45 yo. That's a LOT!. His flexibility, balance and strength are amazing. Watch some of his competing days videos. He was a real champion.
I am so grateful this channel showed a video of his competition days. I am from IL and had wanted to see this for quite awhile. Thank you! I have a crush on Paul! He always brings out a chuckle and a smile even on my gloomiest of days! Love his extremely talented skills and antics! Thank you, Paul!❤❤❤
Love Paul Hunt! A talented genius who was a coach who could do the things he required of his students. (How many coaches are able to do likewise?) We used to be able to laugh at life and have fun. Not anymore. People today look for reasons to be offended with all and everything.
I had to sell at a loss, a restaurant I was the landlord for in Kennewick, Washington, because of the covid shutdown. Even worse, I lost my husband when he died of covid. EVERYTHING that was done about covid was wrong and was a crime against humanity. I pray that people , and doctors, absolutely refuse to comply if something like that happens again.
I disagree -- his talent was raised to a higher level by his being free to inject comedy into his routines. Many of his clownish-seeming moves required greater skill, strength, and flexibility than 'standard' gymnastics moves. He pushed the envelope; would you really have stuffed him back down into it, squashing his creativity? I hope not...
@@jackabug2475I have never knowingly watched gymnastics. I don't know the names of the moves or the criteria by which they are judged. I only know that Paul Hunt is the Tommy Cooper of gymnastics _ he makes it funny by deliberately and gloriously making a mess of it, which is much harder than doing it 'normally'

The men do still do a floor routine

I adore Paul Hunt!
I've seen this guy twice in person. Hes even more funny and quite impressive in person to watch.
so lucky, I wish I had had a chance for that
May God bless him with a long and happy life. You are amazing. Thank you very much

Thank you for the kind words! I try to add a little bit of history or background when applicable
I love his little ribbons in his hair
IKR? I recall those fat yarn ribbons from my childhood. This guy is a scream!
Any body put out a complete video set of him I would buy it. Very entertaining 😉😁😁😁😜
Very cleverly performed. Truly an outstanding athlete in his own right. He knows how to do it funnily
I love watching his routines. Paul makes them look so easy, but must be really hard to choreograph.
Brilliant sportsman. Very clever and entertaining . Great skill💞
He is very graceful.

I cld watch him forever😊, he's the sort of entertainment u needcat the Olympics to take the seriousness out of competition, andcput sm ffun back in
Maravillosamente flexible, gracioso, y algo o bastante peligroso en algunos ejercicios. Todo un CAMPEÓN 👏👏👏
Du bist und warst das Vorbild meiner turner. Hoffe du bist gesund und auch noch fit. Gruß aus Bremen. Sportliche Grüße, E.dombrowski
Oh, that thin mat!
Meraviglioso 🤩
Amazing.
Phantastisch ❤
In the first clip they didn't use floor mats back then like they do today.
Anyone that can do the things he can do has super strength and very stretchy ligaments. He's so much gun to watch.
Maravilhoso !!!
Super💝
Отличный спортсмен, остроумный человек. Сколько ему сейчас лет?
That's hilarious.
I never laughed so much 😂😂
is hs still involved in gymnastics?
I believe I saw a video from 2008, not sure if I’ve seen more recent videos of him performing.
He taught gymnastics until the pandemic closed him down in 2020.
Unfortunately he has had to close Salt Lake City academy due to lost revenue from the covid forced closers
That’s so sad
THAT is really unfortunate - Hunt is so flipping talented.

Вспомнила великолепную девочку Кетелин Охачи!
I wish they would just shut up during the scenes instead they just babble on and on about zip! They just like to hear themselves chatter on and on!
🤣
I feel like his talent was wasted by making a joke out of himself. He’s amazing.
I think his passion is to entertain and to make fun of being a gymnast.
When needs must. Covid hit his studio. What a lovely sense of humour and what a great acrobat.
He was a NCAA champion, and also a teacher.
