ive been in gymnastics for 13 years and it is tough everyday u go into the gym. every gymnasts will have a moment when they r in so much pain that they wonder y they have stayed with this crazy sport so long but then you look over and c the little girl looking up at you and you realize y you started it in the first place and y you push through all the pain. we give up so much to be in this sport and many ppl dont understand y and nvr will but i love this sport and will give up anything for it

Gymnastics defiantly takes a toll on everything.. i have been doing gymnastics for longer than i can remember I grew up in the gym with my brothers and i was born with severe Erbs Palsy so gymnastics was both my physical therapy as well as just what i love but after years of gymnastics my body is starting to break down i get home from gym and i can barely move and yet i can not imagine my life without it.. its true gymnastics has ups and downs but its what i love about it..

Finally....a video that shows both sides...It's not all fun and games. It's frustrating and it hurts sometimes, but it's the end result that keeps gymnasts going....it's the payoff of winning, of looking back on accomplishments, of knowing how far they've come...that's what the sport is about.

I wasn't pushed by anyone at any times, i just loved it and still love it. Gymnastics is hard, you need dedication and perseverance, but all the effort definitely pays off in the end.

I am an elite gymnast from Australia and trust me- it's complicated. I see people getting injured every day. And yes, i used to do soccer and it was crap (no offence). i went to gymnastics in 2011 and the coaches said i had a special "quality" and thats how i moved up so quickly. but gymnastics is basically a sport for everyone who loves it. I love it and i cant stop doing it. :)

I do gymnastics, but I don't do it 'seriously'. These people wouldn't be doing this if they didn't feel really passionately for gymnastics. It is easy to start crying - especially if you're trying to do a move you just can't get the hang of. It's more fustration and exhaustion than pain and being pushed too hard. You do have those bad moments, but 98% of the time you love love LOVE what you're doing.

they work so hard. all gymnasts do. some coaches are just so cruel. some of these things make me want to cry. tumbling is hard enough, many elites give away their childhoods just to be great at gymnastics- they brave through everything, for pain, training, broken bones, injury and even abuse, it doesnt seem fair. it makes me so sad.

I do rhythmic gymnastics, but all this still holds true. My coaches managed to tear my hamstring (minor tear, but it still hurts like hell) but it toughened me up and got me to work harder to avoid injury and become stronger in the process. The only difficulty with RG that tends to be more prevalent than in the other form is thinness, and anorexia is a plague in the sport. Also, height is important and I could be considered slightly too short (thank God I'm still growing).

6 types in US: 1. Men's artistic - focuses on strength, tumbling 2. Women's artistic - flexibility, tumbling, strength... what you usually see 3. Rhythmic - 5 tools (ribbon etc.) to use in floor routines, shows flexibility, strength, pirouettes, jumps, tossing/catching 4. Trampoline and tumbling - just power 5. Acrobatics - a pair, group of 3 women, or group of 4 men do floor routines that include balancing on top of each other and throwing each other into somersaults. 6. Group - gym for all

I took gymnastics from 7 years old to 13. I have an hernia on the back because of it, nothing serious but sometimes annoying. I used to practice a lot but I didn´t want to stop growing at 4 or 5 feet besides my parents didn´t want me to travel alone. It was good to get nice sports skills, I do rock climbing outdoors and I think gymnastics gave the ability to do it.
