Of course gymnastics is joyful! When you win. Just like basketball is joyful when you win, soccer is joyful when you win, curling is joyful when you...you get the idea.

What a dreary life this person must lead! What about just having fun without worrying about "winning" and "losing"? Especially when it comes to solo sports like gymnastics, how can you possibly enjoy those if you're always competing against anybody but yourself? I hope they don't apply that depressing little philosophy to their entire lives. "Sure, eating is joyful. When you're at the best restaurant money can buy. Sure, cooking is joyful. When you're a master chef. Sure, reading is joyful. When you're reading a CLASSIC and finishing it before the rest of the class. Sure, having a cat is joyful. When it's a prizewinning purebred." I don't even want to speculate on this guy's approach to: math, sex, children, or gardening.

"When you win." What a stupid idea!
