In the following paragraph, the BOLDED phrases are common ways of expressing gymnastic moves.  Are they similar to the expressions in Spanish?  Try to transcribe (transcribir) the rest and find the “olympic language” used.

Paulette Huntanova…

  • A change of tutu
  • I noticed a change in Pualette, Pualette has shaved her mustache.
  • May have to shave her chest if she is going to continue.  Strikes a pose and goes to the balance beam.  This is of course Paul Hunt. (Hahaha)
  • How beautiful.  With trepediation goes to the balance beam.  And his tutu has a smile for everybody.
  • He used to have one that said “mom” on it, and when he kicked up to a hand stand it said “wow” on it.
  • Dont hurt yourself Paulette (more laughs)
  • You know it’s a comedy routine, but his gymnastics is really pretty good. 
  • It’s tremedous.  When you think of how hard he has to work to look bad. It’s amazing.  He’s magnificent.
  • That’s a very good handstand.   (laughs, laughs, laughs)
  • Look at him, he’s chewing gum
