Diameter of Mallakhamb Pole<\/strong>:

This Mallakhamb<\/strong> (‘Malla<\/em>‘ means gymnast, and ‘khamb<\/em>‘ means poles) vid has been flying around as much as the gymnasts themselves. With good reason. It’s crazy impressive. Though the flesh-colored pole is a little unsettling. Just sayin’. (Thanks, Mel<\/a>!)<\/p>\n
