Gymnastics

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.

Gymnastics Ninja

A gymnast. Capable of randomly doing a cartwheel into a back-flip, a hand-stand, and then a front-flip in the span of five seconds.
Guy 1: "Dude, gymnastics is a girl-sport."
Guy 2: "Are you kidding me?! I do gymnastics and, not only does it get me women, but i can do flips just walking down the street!"

Gymnastics Ninja: "Check this out!" -front-flip, double back-flip- "Now what did you say about gymnastics?"

gymnast

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.

mental gymnastics

The act of trying to justify actions or validate opinions not supported by any facts. A means of dealing with cognitive dissonance.
"Hey Jessica, you're really pretty today."
"Oh so you're saying that yesterday I was looking like shit. Also you're saying that because I'm a white fit woman. That makes you a pathetic misogynist and racist. Let's not mention the fact that if I didn't pander to your sexuality, I would be called unattractive and ugly. You, John, are a dumbass and a patriarchal pig, do you know how stressful it is to be a woman and having to look sexy 24 7 just so men get horny in this society? You don't, because you are such a privileged white male."
"Wow Jessica that was some serious mental gymnastics you did right there..."

hamster gymnastics

ham•ster gym•nas•tics

/ˈhamstər jimˈnastiks/

1. Going to great lengths to justify, rationalize, or otherwise explain away a wrongdoing or shitty action/behavior

2. A combination of both 'hamstering' and 'mental gymnastics'
My girlfriend cheated on me. She said she had a dream I cheated on her, so her cheating was justified. Except her dream happened the morning after she cheated on me. I'm surprised she didn't strain herself doing those hamster gymnastics.

When one is repeatedly moved to tears after failing at an accomplishment they've worked tirelessly towards.

First noticed during the 2012 London Olympics when the Women's Russian Gymnastics team were often shown crying after one anothers less than stellar performances.

While completely understandable, it can become a bit ridiculous at a point.
Andy: Dude, why is Whitney wailing in her cubicle?

Shawn: Oh, the boss' son got the promotion that she thought was hers. So now she's crying like a Russian gymnast.
