one of the most hardest, beautiful, underrated sports in the Olympics.

mostly popular in eastern europe and Israel

even the american olympic athletes never win any metals in this sport. it's that hard!
it's always the russians who wins gold. sometimes ukraine
some called it a communist sport because it's very popular in russia
others called it a nazi sport because hitler made aryan women practice rhythmic gymnastics to prepare for motherhood
requires supreme skills, coordination, strength, creativity, and EXTREME FLEXIBILITY

the key in this sport is to make it look easy and effortless with all the contortion and catching the props. they must defy the law of physics.
dumb people think it's an easy clown sport until they try it themselves and severely hurt themselves
dumb person watching Rhythmic gymnastics in olympics: pppppppfff bitch please, this is a sport??? i can do that with a ball
*ends up in a hospital with a snapped spine*

person 1: woah what the fuck! that girl can touch her ass with her head!!!! is she a demon??
person 2: no she's rad! she's a rhythmic gymnast.

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?"

A sport competed in by girls who think they are way too good for anybody else. They are always short and chunky with little to nothing in the bust area. They can do all these crazy tricks that nobody else can do, but they do it with so little grace it hardly looks good. They go past lovely lines and turn them to look like shit. They can't dance, even though they say they 'dance' in their routines. The lines the make are harsh and ugly. The gymnasts usual compare their sport to ballet, saying it is twice as hard when in reality ballet is harder, better and more beautiful, and also requires more grace, beauty, passion, dedication, disciplin, etc. To be a ballerina, you need an EXACT body shape, you must be skinny and strong, but not show too much muscle in your legs, you must be able to put up with immense amounts of pain, you must be flexible and have extreme turnout, and you need to be able to pull everything off while fooling anybody watching into thinking it is a piece of cake. To be a gymnast, you just need to have started from a young age.
Friend 1: God gymnastics is ugly.
Friend 2: I know. Isn't ballet just so much prettier and better?

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..."

/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.

Any series of physical exercises designed to squeeze one’s arse into a pair of pantyhose, snug jeans, and such.
I almost collapsed from exhaustion and dehydration after a grueling session of elastics gymnastics with a pair of tights.

Any variety of wild, crazy, and retarded antics you can accomplish by hanging off of the poles, overhead grab bars, and other structures inside of a moving subway car. Usually occurs late at night when the subway is basically empty, with a relatively large group of people, and preceded by copious amounts of drinking.
A: "Damn, Alex looks dizzy--he just did a double backflip off the grab bar then spun around the center pole upside down like 15 times."
B: "Dude, I think he's gonna puke. Subway gymnastics are dangerous."
