  • are really complaning about being a gymnast cuz if u are you should be lucky ny bff cant afford it and she wants to do gymnastics soooo bad......and if u are saying your lucky then ur not real good at showing it but really gymnastics is the best sport ever i doont care how many people think it is easy it isnt i would like to see thoses people last one day in gymnastics......or ballet i ve been doing gymnastics for 16 years and i quit ......i lost a lot of flexibilty and stregth im am back tho

  • On 0:12 the girl looks like a vampire

    Same here (below)

  • No matter how hard I try, I cant let go of gymnastics. I get injured, I dont sit out I continue. Gymnastics is apart of me.

  • Iv been doing gymnastics for 13 years and I finally got to level 10. Gymnastics is the best sport iv learned so much from it. Gymnastics is who I am it's not a part of me, it IS me

  • Gymnastics isn't 24/7... It's WAY more than that!!! <3

  • I've been doing gymnastics for 10 years now and i've gone through injuries as small as a sprained thumb to something as severe as a fractured hip and i have a compression in my back that will never go away. I go to gym every day and some days i hate it so much but honestly i couldn't imagine my life without it. Its part of who I am now and if I were to give that up it would be like a part of me is dying. Its one of the best sports to get into but its one of the hardest to get out of.

  • Gymnastics defiantly takes a toll on everything.. i have been doing gymnastics for longer than i can remember 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.

  • i didnt think it was easy... i cant even walk n a beam straight let alone do all that! Gymnasts: Truly amazing.

  • i love gymnastics and i all ways did

  • Loved it! Where did you get your footage?

  • 2:16 im a gymnast and those over splits hurt really bad and they are definatley not fun to do!

  • The song is not called "it's not easy to be me" it's called Superman. 

  • love this song :D

  • How does this not have more veiws!? It captures the training of the sport PERFECTLY. And the song fits amazing. Some of the clips that are boring because they are over used in other montages, like the commercials. Arent boring here. I cant stop watching this. Usually I cant watch them more then twice, but this is just amazing. Great job.

  • I totally agree with u gymshiv i've been doing gymnastics for 5 years and tried softball and basketball but NO sport is more enjoyable than gymnastics yeah u will cry and get SOOOOOOOO mad and want to quit but when you fulfill your dreams I know it fells better than anything in the world!!!!!

  • Who's the gymnast at 2:11? Is she Jade?

  • @AcroSurviver

    if somebody has ever telling you, please ignore! :B

    Yes, she's Jade!

  • i love when it says "im more then a bird" it shows a picture of a girl and face kinda looks like a bird" at 0:41

  • @AAUchamp55 hum...She is more like a crow...

  • Hey! Can u send me the trainings video of vanessa ferrari?

  • love it

  • This is an awesome montage! The song fits it perfectly. Great to see some clips of Aussie gymnastics! I'm an Australian. I thought it was rad that you put the aussies up because I have competed at the club at 1.16! This vid really shows the hard work that gymnasts go through to get to the top! =]

  • 0:14 she's beautiful!!

  • i love gymnastics

  • Haha!! Noo!!

  • yeah, it is definetley not easy!! im only doing tumbling once a week throughout the year, but i fall every week on my knees. and i always come home sore. we hve to do the hardest conditioning ever, and we hve to do everything a million times, until we get it rite!!!!! but it is worth it, it is funn to show ur friends, and i luvv learning new things!!

  • maybe they should have given you the same training with spelling.

  • just kidding really :P

  • I am 11 yrs old and almost 12. I've been on a gymnmastics team since I was 3 1/2 years old. I train from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. before school and after school from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00p.m. I love gymnastics!! I am on the highest level at my gym and I have placed 1st in ALL my competitions

  • @xxJacobluvaxx

    good for you. lucky you dont have to worry before a competition like most people like me do.

    [i dont mean that in a mean way :]]

    but my teammate over shadows me and it kinda hurts to see him progressing more...make sure your not showing off to the others in your gym cuz they really do work hard

  • Well I dont show off I help out all my other teammates..

  • @xxJacobluvaxx what time do you go to bed? and what time does your school start?

  • i LIFE for this stuff

  • @BieberIluv live*

  • shawn jhonson is so kwl

    she looks abit like miley cyrus!!

    ilovesj

  • True! gymnasts have to go through alot than you think, not saying that gymnasts are soo important but yeah!:) It is worth doing what you love

  • im an elite gymnast and yes this is so right. @Sazzey96 you are so right, it is harad but totally worth it. One day you will see me on that gold medal podium!!!!! and its not easy to be me but it pays.

  • some people dont realise that to be a gymnast you must give up so much

    one, dinner with family- because ur at training untill 9pm, foods u want 2 eat- ur on a constant diet, three, shopping with friends, four, pretty fibngernails, hands, feet etc. and lastly a lot of money

    so dont think gymnastics is easy

  • @Sazzay96 Shut up, I am a male gymnast for over 15 yrs. I made it far. It was not that bad, it's all good when you are in love with what you are doing. I was able to have friends, and eat ice cream once in a while, and doing good in school. Typical European life. You are probably American or Canadian, not being able to eat crap food 27/7 must be a drama.

  • excuse me im from australia and you have no idea- ur male = completly different thing. females bodies are so much harder to keep in shape. running 8km a day , 5 hours of training doesnt seem easy , but its what you need to get to the top. and if you say that its easy than you must have been a slakass and really just did it for nothing. or like a lot of other guys- the girls

  • people that want to say bad stuff about gymnastics, like you guys always show off. and its not that hard. well it is. ive been in gymnastics for 5 years and i can tell you it is difficult. so untill you try it and see for yourself dont talk crap.

  • I am a mother of a past gymnast, and a little one that is just beginning and is rapidly moving up- as a past gymnast myself I can vow for the allure of gymnastics! It allows a girl to move beyond the realms of possibility. We feel free to do what our bodies can do- we learn to value hard work and become dedicated to something! That's gymnastics!!

  • a 1.19 dove le hai trovate quelle cose di vanessa ferrari???rispondimi x favoreee bacioni

  • shawn johnson is the best in the buisness !!! god bless her and her strength ...

  • i know how you feel. i have been doing it for 11 years and im just starting level 8!! :S

  • I don't think none of you girls feel as bad as i do. I've been doing this sport since i was 4 years old. I am turning 14 this year. I live on Aruba and we dont bearly have equipment :( My wish to go to the olympics is like totally done. Not even how much i would want to get better, i couldn't. We dont even have a GYMNASTICS GYM here!!!!! :(i train at a normal gym.. that has SOME gymnastics equipment ..

  • WoW this is a really great video,

    i'm a gymnast, too (but actually not so good )

  • whats that girl doing at 2:52 ?

  • I was in gymnastics for 8 years but when I fell off the bars and broke my neck and then when I was better fell of the beam and broke my arm, they said I had to take training before I could be in gymnastics anymore. I starting crying 'cause gymnastics is my life. I'm finally getting better at it but it just oes to show gymnastics doesn't always have happy endings.

  • cheerleading is not even close to gymnastics. no way no how.

  • who is it at 0:17?

  • its Jade Barbosa from brazil

  • thanks :)

  • Comment removed

  • if youre not a gymnast and youre just saying, "if they are so emmotionally and physically damaged, why dont they just quit?"

    it is simply just because theres always something invisible pushing you to just get that skill, just to perfect this one, and you cant stop it, and when your coach tells you "great job!", or "im proud of you." just keeps us going.

  • amazing and sooo right!

  • there lives aren't a breeze. u dont' know how much hard work and dedication they need to put in training. These girls work really hard. They put their life in risk b.c it is really easy to get hurt! i think gymnists are good role models and u shouldn't say their life is a breeze. :)

  • I love this montage, where did you get all of your footage?

  • She's a world champion.

  • she's a world champion with some serious looking bug teeth.(LOL...)

  • Rofl!

  • Jade always looks so sad, but she's just so gorgeous.

  • painfl

  • no, thats rythmic. Artistic is the one in the olympics with vault bars beam and floor

  • no artistic is amazing and no you are thinking of rhythmic gymnastics with ribbons...

  • Gymnastic look great sport and it`s not easy what i`m look these videos. =)

  • well in all honesty, gmnastics (i think) is the hardest sport because what all you have to accomplish to where you want to be but yes, at the same time these girls do it even though they kno how tough it is, but once you have tht feeling of accomplishment of doing something or reaching a goal, you feel like nothing can stop you. i give my upmost respect to gymnast. i used to be one but can't anymore, adn everyday miss it a little more, so never give up if it is something you love... God Bless

  • The footages about Cheng Fei, which documentary is it???

  • I think its her olympic series docu the one on athens.

  • gymnastics isnt as hard as these videos make it out to be... they do want us that flexible and do make us do all those things but youll only be crying and stuff if your injured and other crap... after a while your get used to it, so its not a big deal anymore... and yeah you every gymnast finds pleasure eventually.

  • i agree with you....but gymnastics is, to me, the hardest sport in the world. but yeah i agree that these videos make it seem like its this awful thing, when really we choose to put oursleves through this although some of us don't have that choice. but still, sooner or later we all find this attachment to it and then we can't imagine life without it. lol

  • i agree. At school a child psychologist asked the students what sports we were in and when i said gymnastics she got mad at my parents and said "gymnastics is the last legal child abuse" i just laughed at her and said "but i love it" and smiled :)

    but they do make gymnastics seem either way to glamorous or way to bad. someone needs to show what gymnastics really is

    the hard work, the fun times, the mean coaches that you love anyways cuz they love you too. etc.

    anyways thats my 2 cents

  • i agree completely:) there's so many stupid videos on here that either say gymnastics is the worst sport a child can do or they're saying gymnasts are perfect and can do anything. its so annoying. haha but you put it perfect!

  • well us gymnasts chose to be doing this crazy sport lol we can quit at any time but when it gets to it some thing in our heart says we cant :)

  • i don't feel sorry at all for them, they choose to be there.

    afcourse not all of them but most do.

  • thats true!! gymnastic is hard! we have just train for 5 years and its not easy all time!! =)

  • yay dasha is the first person! XD then there she is with lauren at 1:35, 2:42 lol

    dasha n loz rox! i love nastias leos! very nice!

    lol pretty montage :) its in my favourites :)

  • wow reALLY BAD LEO'S at 1:08

  • OMG LMAO

    HAHA

  • Yes, that is what I said. Imaginary nationality differences. Instead of everyone competing together as individuals, its divided by country, and people think of it as one country winning and another losing. Why? We're all human. Saying that one is of one nationality or another is a man made, imaginary difference. Does that answer your question?

  • this is so true! AWESOME job!

  • you have a horrible attitude, and third world countries? back in the eighties being a gymnast was the only way to get a proper meal in some communist countries like russia and romania! if not for gymnastics many girls wouldn't have a dream, and the olympics is wonderful because it brings the world together, its the only time many people realise that we are one world and that we are in this together.

  • You are right. It is horrible for me to want people to use their time wisely.

    You are also right about the Olympics bringing the world together. Nothing says 'Unity' like assembling groups of people divided by imaginary nationality differences, having them compete against one another to prove who is better than the others.

  • imaginary nationality differences?  What about all the professional athletes that leave the US to compete for their countries? They are representing their country, nationality has nothing to do with it.

  • Think about the hundreds of man-hours that each competetor has to put into training and preparation; the teams, coachs, support personnel. The investments that the families have to make, the sponsors, the city preparing for years and years for this one event, massive planning and coordination of the event itself and the televising. All so a handful of kids can perform routine tricks and stunts.

    Imagine if this time and effort were put to curing cancer, or feeding 3rd world countries.

  • its not easy to be as ugly as beth tweddle lol

    no seriously though good montage

  • She may not be the prettiest person in this world, but she a darn good gymnast!

  • Heck, it's not easy being me!! just kiddin, i like.*****

  • GOOD!!!

  • 0:12 Beth Tweddle! :D

  • whatever!!!!! are u even a cheerleader?

  • i was in gymnastics for about a year or so.

    i guess i had a boatload of talent.

    i quit when i started percieving it as a "girls sport"

    i took my physical talent to wrestling, where i became an all american.

    looking back, i know that to take gymnastics to that second level i'd have needed to try just as hard as i did with wrestling.

    The great classical greek scholars practiced gymnastics to maintain a physical prime. gymnastics are as real of a sport as there is out there

  • and also if ur gonna show coordination jumping thinness and balance then go rob a bank or fool the cops by walkin the line....lol not to say that gymnists are not for nothing i mean i respect them for putting there mind to it but realy...gymnastics...

  • that was beautiful

  • what???

  • its in plain text unless you dont know english i have no need to repeat it

  • no, i no exactly what you said, it's just literally what you said is what i can't understand, you can never know the joys of gymnastics without being a gymnast yourself, it's the thrill of spinning through the air, the moment of complete disorientation, being completely in control without having any control at all

    (next comment |) | \/

  • ...also it's ...the space in time where your focusing so completely on whatever you doing that every other thought goes from your brain becuase complete and utter focus is on that skill and there is no room for distraction. Some people get confused about why you'd want to put yourself through all that pain and disaster for just one move, it's because once you finnally manage, that one move, the pain and emotion that you went through to get there is worth it 100 times over.

  • so true

  • i agrre wats the point? if ur gona show flexiblity show it in the sack if ur gonna show grace just stand there if ur gona show musslecs then flex....

  • salvadorianguy: if you're gonna be ignorant, shut up and don't watch. if you're gonna be a pig, then oink.

  • if you're not a gymnast you can't understand what we get out of it. this is our life and we love it. why do you do the things you love? gymnastics is more than being graceful or flexible or muscular. there are so many life lessons taught in gymnastics, in addition to learning skills and routines, its amazing.

  • it's got nothing to do with 'showing off', that's what seperates us from bodybuilders and contortionists. It's about dedicating your childhood to the most enjoyable sport on the planet and having an amazing time for every single second, do you honestly think that we'd go through all of this to show off? we do it because it's like cocaine to us, gymnastics is addictive, it's almost impossible for us to happily quit, ultimately we do it for fun; nothing else.

  • @gymshiv most boring sport of earth...I ended here looking for nasty accidents...thats all what most of the people want to see...bloopers. Gymnastics is nothing but a huge source of funny bloopers.

  • @ulrichelrojo74 What the fuck? what's your point? If you're not a gymnast then you'll never understand my comment, therefore rendering your comment totally irrelevant, especially seeing as I mentioned nothing of 'bloopers'

  • @ulrichelrojo74 you dont get it to you those are funny but to that person they just got really hurt . there career could end . seriously wat if your parents got hurt and then got fired b/c they couldnt work well guess waht thats basically waht happened to those ppl in those bloopers.

  • Comment removed

  • @ulrichelrojo74 It is not boring it is the most elegant and hardest sport on earth! Seeing these people doing tricks that hardly anyone else can do is amazing! How dare you even say that you want to see them get hurt and go through nasty accidents. That's just sick and wrong! Next time don't leave comments if they are rude...you only just piss people off because your ignorant and mean!

  • @band

  • @ulrichelrojo74 if it is sooo funny to you dont watch it because we gymnasts work our butts off to fulfill our goals and dreams so shut the hell up

  • @gymnasticsfreak105 "Shut the hell up" hehehe yeah, an "elegant" sport....

  • @gymshiv totally right there :) I have a spinal crack so gymnastics is banned now. But I still look at gymnasts in training and envy them. They can go in and leave behind the craziness of life and just focus on doing what they love. It really is like cocaine. You can't quit happily without regrets.

  • @gymshiv I would have gotten into gymnastics but it looks too dangerous...

  • there is a point u get plesure and if u love it it rocks so theres a point.

  • Wow they have to work reall hard

  • GOOD lUCK TO them~

  • tough girls :)

  • The girl at :22 is Shawn Johnson and she took silver in the 08 Olympics. She's actually pretty cute.

  • Yeah... beavers are cute too. Just kidding Shawn Johnson is awesome!

  • lmao 0:11, the girl could corn on the cob through a picket fence

  • she could naw on my wood

  • LOL
