Gymnastics: A Complicated Sport

[patchyandbecker]

This is soo true Gymnastics is the hardest sport EVER!!!!!

[amoo2007]

very inspirational and motivating video, though the song is a little depressing. nevertheless, gymnastics is, hands down, the toughest sport.

[TheParodyfails]

I love it:)

[techstuff786]

@ItsDAN13LL3 hope 1 day you will be a pro and good luck main thing :) never give up on what you love ;), GOOD LUCK :)

[ilovehorsestodeath78]

I have been doing gymnastics for 8 years. I am 12 years old. I love it. It takes ALOT of pain and tears. But It's worth living for. I get so stressed out when i do something wrong but my coaches tell me to get back up and do it again. Thats what makes me a better gymnast. Once I was doing my back layout off the bar and I broke my foot. After my foot was healed i tryed harder than i did before and Now my coaches say that I will make it to the olympics. <3 Gymnastics forever and always. <3

[MyAzzz123]

@techstuff786

but if she really loved that support so much i wouldn't stop her from doing it i would support her which she needs atm!! :S telling her not to do it is taking her dreams away for becoming a gymnastic even though u tell her not to do it she still will so u might as well support her! simple o.O

[MyAzzz123]

@techstuff786

Wth no pain no gain sometimes u have to take risks then u become really good 

[ItsDAN13LL3]

@MyAzzz123 i agree with myazzz123 :)

[MyAzzz123]

@ItsDAN13LL3

everyone agrees with me it's all good :D

[ItsDAN13LL3]

@MyAzzz123 apparently not everyone....

[martinaselina]

Gymnastics is the toughest sport, both physically and mentally. However, after going though this life you walk away with the strength and skills to deal with whatever life throws at you. If it's not hard, anyone could do it and it wouldn't be worth it.

[gymfan789]

Can I just ask why everyone is so interested in saying their own experiences? Comments are supposed to be about the video not about how much better you are at gymnastics than everyone else!

BTW this is an awesome vid well done!

[thefunchick11]

nice I fractured my knee doing gymnastics cant do it for 2 months noww :(

[kayper54]

How much of a gymnast's daily training consists of strictly strength, conditioning and stretching? In the tiny bit I did gymnastics nearly 40 years ago, the ONLY non-gymnastics exercises we did were stretching and flexibility. We didn't even do any aerobic training. It was tumbling and apparatus training only. But so many of these videos show the gymnasts doing lots of non-gymnastics workouts, so I'm curious how often they do these exercises.

[mealovegymnastics]

love this montage

[noukie2095]

amazing montage!

[cirosuperiore]

gymnastics is the pedophiliac paradise.

[purpleupoo]

i just got to lvl 7 i am 11 but i hav been doing it sincei was 3 and now i hav broken ribs

[superrockstar411]

@purpleupoo Omg how did u brake yur ribs? I did my color bone i think i spelled it right but how did u ?

[Amy5999]

@purpleupoo how can u break your ribs xx what did u doxx???!!

[musicroxchick911]

Gymnastics is the best sport ever, i hate when people say its a pussy sport , when its nothiing close to it ! its anything but ! I am out of gymnastics right now bc of a shoulder injury . :( But i love it so much and wouldnt trade it for anything (:

[gymgirl20001]

im a level 6 gymnast and i think level 6 tricks are complicated but look what these girls are doing!

[ILikeToRawrrr]

This made me cry :( I used to do gymnastics for 10 years, but I had to stop due to a back injury. I miss it so much <3

[oOmaddiOo1998]

my little sister is 10 and level 7 shes awesome!

[kflstar27]

Gymnastic is VERY dangerous... I broke my wrist, leg, and calf. I quit because dealing with injuries was difficult. My friends cousin died because of a head injury. People should try hard but still be careful.

[Baddogymnastics]

i just broke 3 of my toes at gymnastics but i still trained on so always stay hard and never give up

[webkinzluver67]

nothings easy oin gymnastics yoou have to be strong both physically and mentally and have the 3 ds to success:desire (you have to want to do it),dedication(try tyour best and never give up), and discipline (get told what your mistakes are so u can get better)

its hard sometimes but its encredibly fun and u have to let yourself see that gymnastics is a sport that can teach many things and is super fun i think if u want to do it u can do it if u set your mind to it thats real gymnastics

[free2write26]

I'm trying to make a career, but I'm 13, and a level three. Im not sure I can find a gymnasim to take me on team.

[d3lixr0fls]

@free2write26 just keep trying, im a little older for my level that im in now. all of the people that are 13 are in level 8 or 9. im now in prep op gold.

[free2write26]

@d3lixr0fls I'm now level five, and just got my backhandspring. My coach has been really supportive, and I'm currently a team member, which I feel pretty content with. I'm going to try to keep advancing though, and catch up.

[aSKSiveck]

Sad but so true.



[RawwritsDesirae]

This is true.

[Mariekek1995]

geweldige montage,

en 'n geweldige sport!

[tinkerbell0978]

that was great advice

[intelligenceisnot]

Who writes these syrapy self-patronizing lines?

I'm embarrassed just reading them.

Life is a hardship.

Gymnastics doesn't have a corner on complication.

[liviepowell]

you see i love gymnastics-and basketball. but i was doing gymnastics and basketball at the same time. i love tumbling and basketball so i stopped taking gymnastics and did basketball instead.since its summer,i can take lessons again! :) this video inspired me to go back to gymnastics thank you suzanneturn for helping me do go make to what i love!

[Ronjaa96]

Wauw zoo mooi! Alles klopt precies!

I love this video!

I love gymnastics!!!!

[Ohboyily95]

Such a true video. I quit gymnastic lst year.. i was in Level 6... and i feel off the bar and broke my arm in two places. I regret not going back right away... but now i just do regular tumbling classes to regain my strength back to i can rejoin my level 6 team :]

[Lollipop10930]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many medals !!! How i wish i had those ! but i'm not cut out to be a gymnast but i wish to !!! :(

[Sexigymnast115]

Many Rewards Too... Like Great Muscle Definition, Discipline, Ability To Focus, Be A Good Sport And Competitor, Great Rhythm...

[MarieClairexD]

im 13, i wana start gymnastics, im watchin these videos of the bad endings to gymnastics, and im wondering if your learning to do a flip, are you not scared that it can go terribly wrong? ive never done a tumble roll, tbh i dont no how to( pretty stupid) im not fat im skinny, and ive been passionate bout gymnastics ever since i seen olympics, any point me trying to start ?

[Jarfallagymnast]

@MarieClairexD You are scared all the time!!!! I hurt my arm 3 and ½ month ago, and my arm isnt good yet...My elbow, jumped out of joint and I was going to the hospital by ambulace....

But, its the most amazing sport in the world, so its worth it!! :D

I think you should start training it, you will love it ;) I promise you!!!

[MarieClairexD]

@Jarfallagymnast Lmao, supose you would be lol omg eww, how'd that happen? i know this is stupid but was it sore? :S lol, im tellin myself to go for it but then i have a feelin something bad will happen :/ i know ill love it just scared of consquences. lol

[GyMnaddict]

@MarieClairexD i watched the olympics, saw gymnastics for the first time, fell in love with it. That fall i started a recreational class. It was only once week :( not enough. 6 months later i was invited to the prep op team. I started competing last september. I can honestly say gymnastics is the best thing to ever happen to me. I'm 13 and 5'8"& the state champion. You can do whatever you put your mind too. Gymnastics tests you in ways no other sports can. Never let it beat you :) good luck

[PocketGymnast]

@GyMnaddict

ispirational!

my story is alot like yours! i saw the 2000 olympics and fell in love with it! i started gymnastics when i was 9, im going to be 16 and competing level 7. alot of people didnt think i would make it this far, especially because of my age. but here i am, and i plan to continue with the sport up until college gymnastics!

[GyMnaddict]

@PocketGymnast omg that's awesome!!!!!! everyone was finding excuses for me not to succeed such as height and age but you just gotta ignore them and follow your heart :)

[PocketGymnast]

@GyMnaddict

exactly!

as long as you love it, do it!

dont let other people get in the way of what you love.

[Angel105100]

[supergymnast11]

[4eversurfing]

[gymnasticslvr21]

i love this video! i like the song too. nice job! :D

[shadesofgrey1947]

ok now i hav watched all of your videos.. PLEase make more. I love them

[Katya1269]

this was awesome

[frankika1]

unlike most sports?

Like every sport, look at car racing the F1 drivers the G's they have to take during a race and then ppl say "oh they just sit in the car and drive"

the swimmers the hours of practise they need "oh i can swim its easy"

Ballet "oh that's so easy i can wear pointe shoes and do some pirouettes whenever i want"

(riiight)

At a professional level sports are all difficult, and take several hours, months, years of training just because it looks easy doesn't mean it is easy.

[dafepa10c29]

OMG

a great video!!!!!

nice...

[LiveLaughLoveLeap]

None of my friends and most of the at school don't do gymnastics like me.. especially at lvls. I feel unique and special :). It makes feel happy, brave, fearless, powerful and more!

[digimon01rox]

Loved it!!

[Elisheval]

I really hate to see footage of little girls crying while doing gymnastics--- it's one thing when they screw up a routine and lose at a competition, but to cry during a training session?! these are just kids--- an 8 yr old should not cry when she should be laughing! Coaches like these are the reason gymnasts don't last long...

[toriluvsgym0618]

Not true!! Some kids just relize the sport is not for them. It would be like a girl quiting baseball or football. Would that be becuase of the coaches also? I'll admit some quit cause of the coaches, but most of them just go to a different gym in the area. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[Moosies66]

I cry about 3 times a week at practice during my 6 day cycle of practice

[gymnasticsgirl107]

awesome

[gymnasticsforlifee14]

looove it

[tanjaSPlove]

does anyone know the name of the man in 1:41 ?

I live in holland and he trains g ymnasts in the same gymhall as I do.

x

[wattydotty101]

i hate it when people say-oh, i'm a gymnast!! (and they've done gymnastics for a year when they were five) -represent sylivia mictova's gymnastics

[RyanJRA64Abella]

Watched it again, freakin' awesome.

[RyanJRA64Abella]

Great montage.

[MsGymnast77]

Can you make me a Nastia Liukin Montage

[shakeitoff007]

ehh, osobiście też trenuje,a raczej trenowałam gimnastykę i muszę przyznać, że czasami bywa zajebiście ciężko... często monotonnie wykonuje się i powtarza jedno ćwiczenie i zamiast się polepszać zniechęca się i tylko cofa.. Gratulacje i pełen podziw dla osób które w tym trwają, bo same treningi są już nie lada wyczynem ;)

[Lexi0077]

is it just me, or do like, all gymnasts sickle their feet?

i don't know if theyre taught to do that, but i guess they're not to concerned about their feet being turned in when they're flipping in the air.

[pogochese]

what does sickle mean?

[Lexi0077]

its when you turn your feet in. like in dance, you're always told to turn your feet out, and not to sickle.

[AWHWH]

that's hard . . .

You really have to give your heart to this sport

[Moosies66]

I compete many competitions. And I hate when people call themselves gymnasts when they DONT PUT IN THE TIME, GIVE UP THEIR SOCIAL LIFE well basically THEIR LIFE, Or does the conditioning and goes through the pain and all. It just makes me angry that when people call themselves gymnasts by just running around and doing cartwheels. Gymnastics take comitment. If u quit competitive gymnastics and call ur self a gymnast that is ok. You actually know what it is like.

[cutepower123]

totally agree it really pisses me off when we do pe at skl and we come to gymnastics and everynes lik i can do gymnastic grr lol but the shut up when i can do flicks etc lol

[Moosies66]

I love gymnastics! I do it like 48 hours a week! I have broken so many bones, switched gyms and fell so many times. I hate it when my coach wants me to focus but then tries to talk to me! Or when they yell at me.

[michaelispie]

Suzanneturnt, your english is great! I loved the meaning of your montage. it's so true, if english is your second language i applaud you! Great job!

[Guitarmania03]

Très émouvant

[shoorablader]

[DiamondCheerleader08]

[LaTataCullen]

[eliteXgymnast8]

when i was, i think, 6 i was at my tri-city meet and i didnt like have the powder on my hands so i went on my floor routine without it. hah i was doing a back hand spring and my hand slipped out from under me. haha i ALWAYS use it now.

[Poparatiz]

[Gymnasticsforever16]

[reneetjuuh]

[GirlieGymnast]

[jderumeu]

i thought ure suopposed to land on ur feet...what kind of gymnastics do u do?

[GizzyTheMotto]

[gymshiv]

[gymnasticsluva24]

[3TalentedSuperstars]

[ozasilly9]

nah, that's Nicole harris :)

[1thatloves2flip]

good video!

I love gymnastics! XD

i've never really een good at it though, so im quitting next year... sadness

[gymnast122333]

o you shouldn't quit. i hear story of ppl who quit and now wish they nvr had. You will get good you just cant give up :)

[GizzyTheMotto]

i quit recently and like having all of the time like a normal teen, but the problem is that you do begin to miss it. i miss everything, even falling on my butt and having to have my coach save my life every day, and i know that if i go back now it will be twice as hard to work back up, and i may never be as good as i could have been. but it is ok to make that choice. im happy that i got to see what a normal life is like, rather than always wondering about how much better they have it.

[XJezzy]

Lol

I do gymnastics but have never gone 2 a lesson im self taught x

I can do splitz fron flipz, back flipz, summersaltz(can do 2 in a row !)

Non handed kartweel, kartweel, headstand, handstand,crabz

Floor, Barz, Vault & beam i practice on a stairz banester on a thing that butz it high my dad built it all 4 mee

So you can do it yourself...

Althought i have a trampoline...

Lol x

Thatz how i learned mah flipz ;)

[gymchick3345]

i love it!

[revengeissweeterxx]

i dont like all the words. after a while, its like, ok let me watch the VIDEO!....but this video makes a good point of how hard gymnasts work.

[gymgurl9625]

its awesome!!

[gymnasticgirl0917]

people think gymnastics is soooo easy n that u can do all of theas hard tricks the 1 day but they dont get it it is so hard n it makes me mad cuz my mom or brother or dad does not get it n only my friends at gymnastics get how hard it is n it is not fair:(

but i still love it

[gymnasticgirl0917]

i do gymnastics mon n wed n trust me it is harder then u think

[FlyersFan7137]

all i can say is i love it

[corgilover7]

hi sorry one more thing, do you know where the video from 3:19 is, and the other clips where that girl is in? I've been searching everywhere, I know I've seen it before but I can't find where.

[iloverocknroll888]

yeah i've been looking for that too! it's that little australian girl, right? i don't know her name, but i used to love watching her. i can't find her on youtube anymore.

[corgilover7]

oh and 3:19 is perfect, you know exactly how she feels :[

[corgilover7]

You did such an amazing job on this, good job! I love this, and you described everything perfectly. Thanks so much for posting :]

[13chickjami]

your vids are the best.. 5 starts

[lotteviergever]

niceee =)

[Chloe110101]

Rivkadeebird:

Gymnastics IS hard if you push yourself to do more and more each day. If you want to achieve new things then it will be hard.

------------------------------­-----------------

Timing, definitely important! lol.

lots of tears and disappointments

TONS of dedication required

pain and fear...things you have to deal with

great montage again!!

[Rivkadeebird]

ok your vidieo is really good

but all i wanna say it that ppl say that gymnastics is hard its not hard unless your couch is really strict like at my gymnastics i dont see them pushing enyone hard its just that i dont think gymnastics is hard at all

its just worth it! =)

[iloverocknroll888]

rivkadeebird: if you're on a competitive team, it will be hard. you're right, it's easy if your coach doesn't push you AND if you don't push yourself. but i don't count running around doing cartwheels as real gymnastics. real gymnastics is practicing 20+ hours a week, competing, working, and going to school all at the same time, like so many girls do.

[GizzyTheMotto]

i agree with you and all.. but i consider myself a gymnast and i never worked 20 hours a week and i even recently quit. i still consider myself a gymnast though because i love it. it's my favorite sport and i can do skills. some people think gymnastics is easy cuz they can do a cartwheel. what they need to do is learn the true gymnast skills. the stuff that takes hard work and time. stuff like tucks and kips and clearhips and handsprings on beam. i never got too far but i was able to do those.

[iloverocknroll888]

then you absolutely should consider yourself a gymnast :) i was just trying to make the point to that one guy that, as you said, gymnastics is not somersaults and cartwheels. haha.

[GizzyTheMotto]

okay. then i totally agree. Gymnastics is not all cartwheels and somersaults. you need to work hard and be willing to invest your life in it =]

if rivkadeebird doesnt know that then i can pretty much promise anyone that she isn't a good gymnast and never will be with that attitude.

[GymnasticKrissi01]

=[ I cudnt get thru to thaa gymnastics =[

[GymnasticKrissi01]

im gunna Start gymnastics this week does it do it in 6 weeks holidaiis thoo?

[xxXxxIraXXxXX]

omG ... all your videos have got soooo wonderfull music ...

Whats the song, please?

[jesstar05]

i think its 'How to save a life' by The Fray

[xxXxxIraXXxXX]

Thank you, I found it yet :)

Love, Ira ♥

[EricCris10sen]

another great video. I think you really nailed this one. You have to tell me where you got the GRACE VIDEO TOO! WHERE????

[gymbratz]

I think you did a great job on your video. It shows all sides of this difficult sport, but I guess that also mades the sport attractive and addictive.

[kasper47]

i disagree with the other persons!

you show all the bad sides of the gymnastics and show people who is crying!

gymnastic is meant to be fun not only hard work! there should be more fun then hard work in gymnsatics......

[Unic08]

I AGREE

[kaywaszo]

I disagree if you don't show the "bad" sides then everyone will think that gymastics is all light and fluffy. If you don't show what gymanstics is really like then you when you go you will be in for a big surprise.

[kasper47]

do you think an ordinarry human think it's easy and everything is good in gymnastic!?

people aren't stupid... they know there will be some bad sides

[IGgymnast10]

not really... a lot of people dont no how hard gymnastics really is and how hard and demanding it is until they actually train those skills.....i think people arent stupid but they just dont no how HARD it is...

[3317gymmonkey]

Wonderful montage!!!i am a gymnas and i thinnk gymnastics is often underlooked.And i think this montage shows what gymnastics is really like!o and what is the name of this song??

[suzanneturnt]

How to save a live from the fray

[3317gymmonkey]

thnx

[Mathiaswolthuis]

omg.. you guys don't have eyes do you??

the song is written in the end of the video..

Loser:P

ok what ever

[3317gymmonkey]

i am not a loser the song was making me REALLY sad because someone i was REALLY close to just died and i started to cry completly so i paused it and asked a question then exited off before it was done

so im not a loser!!!!!!!

[Mathiaswolthuis]

ok.. but you could know that most of the times songs are written in the end of a video...

[gymkrazy12]

I luv it! one of your best montages yet.

[Athlete065]

Beautiful montage!!! It was put together perfectly:)

[GymJade101]

This the best montage i have ever seen in a long time! Can you send me some of your clips please?

[suzanneturnt]

thanks...

i will send you the montage, but i think it is to big
