Discover the comedic genius of gymnast Paul Hunt and his unforgettable alter-ego Pauletta Hunt, a parody performer who turned women’s gymnastics routines into side-splitting crowd-pleasers. From wobbly beam antics to exaggerated floor-routine flair, Pauletta’s playful performances continue to charm fans and celebrate the sport with humor and heart.
Hunt has been coaching gymnastics in Utah since 1974. While demonstrating a backflip for a female student, he realized the comic value of a man performing women's gymnastics. He performs his complex routines during gymnastics competitions for comic relief, wearing a skirted leotard and often calling himself Paulina Huntesque, Pauletta Huntenova, Paulette Huntinova or some similar variation. Often he would sport his thick mustache.
