gymnastics

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

Gymnastics is easy to watch, but I've found that it is very hard to do.
