One of the hardest sports in the world, demanding extreme physical endurance and an ultra-tough mentality.
A gymnast must be flexible, and have near-perfect balance, grace, strength, and endurance.
Women's gymnastics practices on 4 different apparatus, each with it's own challenges: uneaven bars, balance beam, vault, floor exercise

A sport played by some of the finest girls. A gymnast is usually hot, but what separates them most from other girls is that they have amazing talent, and are dedicated, among other things. Since gymnastics requires such high levels of concentration, gymnasts are also very smart.

A sport which is divided into two different parts : Artistic Gymnastics -the most popular sport at the Olympics after Athletics - and Rhythmic Gymnastics - also in the Olympics but not as popular and classified as a different sport.
In artistic gymnastics there are 8 different apparatus - Vault, Uneven Bars, Beam and Floor for the women and Floor, Pommel Horse, Rings, Vault, Parallel Bars and High Bar for the men.
Exercises include multiple somersaults/somersaults with twists, jumps and dance elements. Requires great power, flexibility, determination and will power, and a high level of fitness.
Rhythmic Gymnastics, or RSG for short, in a nutshell, involves women - men don't do RSG - who are too tall for AG bending their bodies into grotesque shapes while chucking either a ball, club, rope or ribbon in the air. Requires great flexibility. Judging at international competitions is often biased and fixed, and the very top gymnasts always seem to get temporarily banned for drug abuse...

Gymnastics is a sport that you love. A sport that you have a love-hate relationship. The best sport in the world. The hardest sport in the world. You love it because the feeling you get from competitions is just so wonderful and these people who you meet are your friend for the rest of your life, you get so many great memories and you get flexibility and great body. But you hate it because of the thousands of times you have cried in trainings. The injuries you have got from it. But these things are also the things that made you fall in love with this sport. You can never unlove this sport. Gymnastics is a lifestyle.

A gymnast is a highly trained athlete who excels in several events (*1, *2) which test strength, speed, coordination, agility and beauty. Elite Gymnasts (Olympic level) train up to 8 hours a day and are known to be some of the most dedicated athletes in the world. Gymnasts are graded on a very difficult scale of 10.0, with 10 being perfection.
1*Males compete in six events: Vault, Floor, Pommel Horse, Highbar, Rings and Parelell Bars.
2*Females compete in four events: Beam, Vault, Bars and Floor.

Nadia Comaneci was the first gymnast in history to score a perfect 10.0.
The 1996 Womens Team motivated thousands of children across the world and country to take up gymnastics after their victorious gold medal.

A really hot girl with a nice body who usually has nice legs, arms, and especially ass. She is also probably short for her age and has big muscles. They work their asses off to achieve perfection and really work hard. Gymnastics is one of the hardest damn sports on earth.
