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 is not a sport, this 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?"

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..."

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.
