A gymnastics video has been making the rounds of Jozef Wadecki, a Polish gymnast who is known for his explosive tumbling skills. How explosive? Take a look for yourself.

He follows that up with a round-off right into a double layout, whipback, back handspring double layout, whipback, whipback, double back with a full twist. Phew. That sort of difficulty is unheard of.[/left][/size]
