Could You Cut It As An Elite Gymnast?

...Well watch the video and find out.
This is basically loads of traning and competition videos of different gymnasts and how they manage to cut it. The song that the clips are to is Sugar We're Going Down by Fall Out Boy. If you listen to the lyrics they make sense to gymasntics.
Hope you enjoy it.
(:

I've always wanted to be a gymnast since i was 5, but my parents thought it was too dangerous. :( I was flexible enough, I could have built up the strength, and most likely would have been good at it because my mom was great at gymnastics when she was younger, but I'll never get the chance to find out. Much respect to those elite gymnasts that work so hard.

[@wannaknowit291]

At my very first fall I'd be so pissed that I'd say BYE BYE to the gym and never ever would I go back.Yeah that is why I am not a gymnast.....

[@Courtneynolen1]

amazing song choiceee

[@starluvr5204]

love this song

[@abbyandpaigers]

As soon as you watch these videos you just want to go to the gym haha:D

[@khyeisasmilechild]

like i have been doing gymnastics for seven years.but my club only started competing last year.BECAUSE WE GOT THIS AMAZING COACH LOU and she had a baby now we have a 18 yr old australian champ but she is really strtict and she is pushing me to get a kip on bars and i HATE bars i love beam vault and floor and i can do anything on beam. floor . vault but bars justtt messs my confidence. up. BUT I KNOW I CAN MAKE IT I WILL NEVER GIVE GYMNASTICS UP ITS MY DREAM.

[@HayleyFox97]

@harleyannmiller You've been elite since you were eight? I think not. you can't start until two and a half. And you aren't competing when you are two, which means you would have to be going through 2 -3 levels a year, to get to level ten then be elite at eight years old. Stop bullsh*tting then come back and comment. (: Sincerely, A gymnast. :) xx

[@huyup123456]

Nope, I probably couldn't even cut it as a level 1 gymnast, looks fun though.

[@cutepower123]

soz meana put thumbs up :D i do cheerleadin to and gymnastics its quite hard to go from graceful to the style cheerleadin is lol

[@gymnastdory]

:) Im in this video :D .. so i guess that means i can cut it haha! .. this has loads of my footage in it .. ace montage!! 5 stars!

[@Fci99]

i got a double pike full today!

[@gymnastdory]

yeah :D ... its me from 0:48 to 0:53 :)

[@xoxogossiplauren]

where do you train and how many hours? x

[@MrPokemonmaster0009]

is the same as mens gymnastics because i wanna start

[@tootiemcfruity]

I think I can cut it but.... I dought myself sometimes. I am level 6 almost 7 and I am 12 . I wonder if I will make it?

[@TheAndrewHouston]

@Amy5999 Im certain u cant, n anyway all elite gymnasts can hold a handstand even without warming up

[@xHoffmanx3]

@bubblehead12cga i hear yaa.

[@CutestMostSweetest]

@MissLOSTaddict108 its nenver to late dont give up

[@bbhouk1]

@bubblehead12cga likewise

[@themiabug]

I'm about 5 ft tall. so pretty much same height as u

[@kierrawilley8075]

ha ha and people think this is a girly sport. HAVE YOU SEEN OUR MUSCLES? :)

[@1234Isy1234]

@huyup123456 lol ur funny! but level 1 is SOOOO easy!

[@Yuri92001]

If I started younger I probably could have, but in the end I am glad I haven't pursued anything like this. I kinda prefer the experiences I have had and am glad I didn't spend the majority of my days training. This is not knocking elite gymnasts, that's what it takes. But I am glad I didn't spend my youth pushing my body like that.

[@BIGgymnast10]

I would like to become an elite gymnast i work very hard and im a level 8 so far i turned 13 in may do you think im too old?? Also i go 4-5 days a week 16-20 hours a week... I am going to give Elite gymnastics a try I hope I do becuase I know how hard these girls work! :D

[@23Nellie1]

Hi, I'm hoping to get into gymnastics and I'm 14. I'm not aiming for elite or anything like that, but do you have any tips for me? :)

[@broganTHATisALL]

my coach tells me i have potential to go the hole way and that if our facilities were better and that we had all the proper equipment i could do so much more, but we dont have enough money to train more times than twice a week and we cant travel an hour long to get to a facility like lilleshall because i have 3 other siblings :( it breaks my heart knowing ive probably reached the limit on the amount of tricks i can do

[@mylittlefishy369]

ugh i had just moved up to level 5, AND accepted onto our local team (that only took 10 people) when i found out i had a chip fracture in my ankle (where a ligament tears off a piece of bone) and had to say no...it broke my heart. gymnastics was my life and i miss it more then words can say D': now i figure skate, but with my bad joints i can barely make the once a week lesson, but i still like it... im between freestyle 3 and 4 right now :) (isi)

[@kayper54]

No. I could not cut it as an elite gymnast. Goodness, when I WAS in gym I couldn't cut it as a Level 5. I was terrified beyond all reason of the UB and progressed so slowly on that event that eventually it just didn't make sense for me to continue on in the sport. I was well ahead of my group on beam and floor, but if you can barely handle Level 2 or 3 on bars, you don't really have much of a future in the sport. :-/

[@gynasticslife]

@DanikaHere True that! just because one person tells you you are too tall or you're heavy dose not by any means make it true. i had an Olympian tell me im to tall to be an elite...i have my first elite meet in Jan. no one can say how far you will go in this sport that's determined by your passin and your love for the sport.

[@themiabug]

Oh ok im gonna measure myself and see how tall i really am. Hold on... Ok! You know what, i AM 5'1''. So my guesstimate was really close. And 5'1'' is pretty tall around here in the U.S. all my friends in gymnastics are a head shorter than me even though we r the same age.

[@HorseGirl354]

Practice hard, don't do too much or you'll get injured, I recommend FitForAFeast, look them up on youtube and try your best. Good luck! (Oh and don't forget to get a few good stratches to warm up your muscles before trying/doing any new/old tricks, push ups are recommended, I am a gymnast)

[@greeneyes12346]

@nicolefilpsalot I'm 5 feet tall and I am a very fast gymnast so if someone says you are slow maybe they are slow not you. Haha joke, but i am very fast i run 74 feet in less than 6 seconds you can see the video on my channal that my sister posted. Good luck and have fun.

[@SabrinaBella36]

its only 152cm I mean, I guess its pretty tall in some countries but I'm German and the average there is 5'5" I think and I live in Canada and the average here is 5'3" so its pretty short.

[@themiabug]

Just train hard, and remember to try your best. I started gymnastics a few months ago and im to. I'm only a level 2 but hey' i worked pretty hard to get there since im SUPER TALL lol :)

[@TheAviator8289]

@gynasticslife Exactly. Look at Svetlana Khorkina. 5'5 if I'm not mistaken? Not an especially tall woman, but in the gymnastics world she is a giant. A giant who pooped Olympic medals.

[@sacuin]

@owlgirl94 Absolutely, there are several gymnasts on youtube that started at later ages. I am actually going to start I'm 19, you just have to look for a gym that offers adult classes.

[@bubblehead12cga]

i know my friend maya and ines could if they want but they dont it just sucks that ppl who have money dotn use it for things that others wish they could do

[@Eowyn126]

omg shut up u ballet dancers! i do both gym and ballet and gym is way harder. don't say ballet is harder if u don't even do them both!!!!

[@livnz]

@WildWindyWillows i wish i could of started gym when i was little too i wanted to be able to do this since i saw my first gym video

[@Divas0pran0]

I've always wondered how far I could've gotten. I don't think I could've been elite, my body was against me.

[@BoogalooZombie76]

All of you gymnast are Ninjas and don't even know it! Respect to you guys, you all work hard at this.

[@panicandfoblvr]

To answer your question: Yes, I could cut it as an elite gymnast. If only I were a gymnast. :(

[@bmsdancer310]

i could if i started young and had a good coach but im a dancer so w/e

[@HayleyFox97]

@HayleyFox97 ahah wrong person. meant the person above you. LOL . :) x

[@kittyluverr98]

[@SabrinaBella36]

[@bxrosie04]

[@BalletGirl312]

[@Icy6222]
