Nile Wilson, a former British gymnast, is one of the most staunch athletes to ever grace the gymnastics arena. At the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Wilson won bronze on the horizontal bar, making history as the first British gymnast to win an Olympic medal. Due to his online popularity, he was able to make a name for himself despite having his career cut short by an injury. His frequent content updates on social media keep his followers engaged and coming back for more.
Wilson recently shared a reaction video on his social media channels, and it quickly gained traction. The footage of “gymnastics fails” that made the ex-gymnast laugh so hard made the video go viral.

On Facebook, Nile Wilson captioned a video of gymnastics blunders with the words, “These gymnastics fails are something out of a cartoon.” Audiences may have seen what was coming when they saw Wilson laughing uncontrollably. His first response to the video was priceless: he got out of his chair and started laughing hysterically. The gymnast, however, regained command of his body and resumed viewing the videos. Wilson imitated the unsuccessful gymnast in a video who sat back and celebrated after their botched backflip. The Olympic gold medalist was undoubtedly laughing and smiling as the footage went on.
A gymnast tumbling to the floor with the bar after it became dislodged was the subject of Wilson’s “Oh my god” after a few clips. Some of the clips made him feel the suffering of those featured in the video, while others made him giggle uncontrollably. Wilson, who has extensive gymnastics expertise, offered his insights on the errors and possible solutions while a series of clips played. One video, though, had him in fits of uncontrollable laughter. In the video, a gymnast attempted a roll but failed, causing him to crash on the floor. Wilson’s response, “What the f*ck is he trying to do?” was met with much laughter.

But that last video was another unforgettable experience. Wilson observed a gymnast do a long run and smash chest-first into the item, but the man in the video got right back up and said, “I’m fine.” It greatly alarmed Wilson, who said, “I think you’re far from fine.”
