Hey, thanks for finding that! I saw that guy perform with a traveling gymnastics exhibition when I was a kid, and I thought it was just about the funniest thing that ever was. The guy's name is Paul Hunt, and when I saw him he appeared as "Paulina Huntaskew." The crowd was full of ten-year-old kids going completely nuts. I thought it would always just be a goofy foggy memory, but there's the power of YouTube.

I saw him perform in the '80s. I think it was "Huntescu", not "Huntaskew". I.e. like a Romanian name. Remember that the Romanians had one of the best female gymnastics teams on earth in those days.

If I were him, I so would have set this up to lampoon the incident with the singing girl at the opening ceremony, with the voice over and all that. Have it suddenly revealed at the end that this young girl has been replaced with a much more attractive man! :D
