  • I don't do gymnastics. I'm also not claiming that it's all fun or easy. I'm sure it takes devotion, to make it all look easy and smooth. Anyway's, my girlfriend is a gymnast. Her workout routine is no joke. Sometimes I do it with her. Yeah I'm hurting afterwards!!! She does some of my firefighter workout's with me, she's hurting after.... Hehe love you babe :)

  • looking at this, it makes everyone else on earth looks like a LAZY bastard, especially adults since these are kids with god like drive!! much respect!! human being at their best physical form. really moving.

  • OMG I get trained liked that an hour a day!

  • This is what i do every day. I used to be a power gymnast but while trying out for the nationals team I was doing a double layout and land on my neck and broke my back. I can never be who i used to be. Now I'm a rythmatic gymnast and it's harder than power training. And requires more flexibility which is good because I was born ware in some parts of my back I don't have a spine so it works really well during training -Brooke, age 13, level 7/8, rythmatic, California state gymnastics academy-

  • what was up eith that little chinese girl in pain

  • OK I WAS AT GYMNASTICS CLASS AND I WAS DOING A TRICK ON BEAM AND I HURT MY SELF IT'S SO HARD

  • I was a gymnast in a gym school in Australia but i got told i was to skinny i got a letter saying i needed to fatten up if i wanted to go to the olympics 2012 so i've tried but i missed out the trials because no one told me when they were

  • well im a level 6/7 gymnast!!!!!! iut hard!!!!!!

  • Where did you get the footage from 0:01, 0:08, 0:14 and 0:49?

  • @ilmuller123 the first 3 were from a 2004 olympics fluff piece, from a selection camp, and the last one was from one the behind the team episode

  • @CATSIZZY I Am in gymnastics and of course it's a sport! Why would they have it in the Olympics if it wasn't a sport? Cheer not so much cuz you cheer FOR people playing an actual sport most of the time. There is cheer competitions but gymnastics is more of a sport.(:

  • Who doesn't think gymnastics is a sport?

  • wow!

  • And people think gymnastics isnt a sport.

  • 0:28 Nastia Lukin?

  • wow!

  • they worked really really hard 2 be were they are right now

  • 0:12 Carley Patterson??

  • Comment removed

  • Shawn Johnson is so cute. I really hope she goes to London in 2012.

  • this is so great! i love it nice job!

  • it may sound wierd but training was one of my fav part because we always tried to out do each other and see who could do the most lol.

  • Hard it is!

  • The girls/boys who do gymnastics are amazing cause it takes so much effort and strength and love of the sport to do it! I don't do gymnastics but I dance and although gymnastics is a hell of alot more pressure I get that just like dance gymnasts need to push themselves so hard because people expect so much from them! So whoever says that gymnastics is easy or dance for that matter but don't actually do it shit the hell up because even thought we make it look easy you'll never actually know how

  • its annoying when people that dont do gymnastics think they know what it is like... but they dont. They thinks its just all fun and games but its sacrifice and strength... so dont pretend you know things when you dont.

  • @Jgurl211

    Switchfoot - You

  • 3:37 uh, what if she doesn't jump high enough for her front sault and hits it. Ouch . 

  • Your montages are so good! I was just wondering where you find all of your footage for your montages?! Thanks!

  • gymnastics is the same as any other sport, if you love the sport your doing your going to push yourself as hard as you can to do the best you can if some of the girls didnt fully love or want to commit to their talent they would have quit..it just separates the regular kids from the champions

  • was that nastia luikin

  • do you know what the show waas called with the chineese gymnasts on the discovery channel

  • what about diving

  • why do people always make gymnastics seem os sad i'm a elite gymnast and i think gymnastics is fun not sad

  • *sigh* jealous of those who can join gymnastics , i want to be a girl who pratices gymnastic .. ): i wan to be a gymnast..but now im 14 yrs old .. only my legs are flexible and my back is no longer flexible ):

  • @ilovewestlifesong then try thats what i did its never to late

  • Whats the name of the song? ... nice video :D

  • were do you get these videos from? xx

  • were do you gwet these videos from? xx

  • How old do these kids usually begin? Are there any vids or info detailing the progression and training methodology that any of you can share ?

  • @Malbrojia I was an Elite, I started at 2 or 3.

  • God I'd like to have the opportunity to do that. To actually live at a gym and train everyday. Obviously not so much the Chinese ones... They seem to be a little... Totalitarian.. But an Australian one or something ^_^

  • Most people would see this video & feel sad... I watch this video & think about how much I miss working hard & working towards new skills & chasing perfection. It is my senior year in high school & I was injured last season & was not going to attempt coming back to the sport this year because I wasn't sure if I wanted to go through the hard work... and after watching this just now... I've decided to do it this year :) i will always love gymnastics. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! :)

  • why are the montages always this sad... I train gymnastics and its not this sad... sometimes it is but you make it look like it is always like this... but beautiful montage but gymnastics are fun too :)

  • They should not press the girls like that to do splits unless they have it perfectly, they can get hurt, my mom told me that when I'm streching for my splits not to push me to the ground 'cuz I can get injured : S She told me this because she did gymnastics a lo of time ago : ) Thanks Mom!

  • Female gymnasts have the best bodies and are in yummy shape!

  • @happyjellyfish go suck a pair

  • Someone needs to show Johnson how to hit a split. And to straighten both her knees and and square her hips. I don't understand how her coaches can see her warming up/practising badly, and not go correct her. Maybe they should send her off to China for a training camp, that might sort her out.

  • some of this wasnt elite gymnastics

  • Luren1234benda

    Yeah right ur just trying to sound cool

  • theyve got such nices bootys

  • They want to do that so people who say it's bad it's their choice

    X treme twisters

    L3

  • At 3:37 that would have been really painful

  • Im in gymnastics I train from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. then go to school then go back from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. everyday besides Sundays we go 2 hours after church is over. Ive been training since I was 3 1/2 or 4 and I am now 11 almost 12 Gymnastics is all I know. Sometimes it's hard because I dont get to hang out with friends but Im doing something I love!

  • @xxJacobluvaxx i do almost the same thing!!!

    gymnastics takes so much, but it's so worth it!!

  • Wow ! What Level Aree Youu?

    Youu Must Be Very Committed!

    Well Done! :O :D

  • its a dissapointment to see how such young (chineese) kids are pushed to their absolute limit. i think it is wrong and honestly should be against their law go look at a a video called "Little Chineese Gymnasts Training" and u will see what im talking about. And also try not to put as much of chineese gymnastics training in here. i was looking for more american training. But overall great job.(:

  • I need to stop watching gymnastic videos, cause every video makes me want to date and be with a gymnast and is driving me crazy. Its impossible to find gymnasts though!

  • haha, what cheerleaders don't do it for you? I bet it's hard to find them cause they're always at the gym and usually don't have time to date. :) lol.

  • @BrieLarsonfan123 ha. I dunno, cheerleaders are good and all, but they just dont do it for me. I dunno, I just got into gymnasts. They are always so pretty. And my reasoning too. sucks that I guess most of them dont have time. Sigh....

  • maybe you're attracted to the work ethic, it's just hard to date when you are training so many hours a week. Have you thought about joining a gym?

  • @BrieLarsonfan123 roflol maybe I am. I just see them working hard at it and crying but still get back up on the horse and try again. And that just makes me want to work hard at my job that I hate. Also, I am in the military so we have a gym at my base for free. I am not sure at the moment if I want to spend money on it. And they probably would be at certain gyms

  • elite gymnastics was the best time of my life. it just sucks you train your whole life then one night before you leave for olympic trials you get hit by a drunk driver and break your back. now your stuck in highschool gymnastics with girls who want to be like you,not like your team mates who were like you..

  • @lauren1234benda that would suck!!

  • chinese elite kids don't really have it any worse than elite kids in any other country. Most elite or olympic gymnasts would have started gym at a young age, their young age is just more publicised in the case of china. Also, for a kid to continue to put themselves through the elite training, they have to love what they're doing. If you don't love it, then you quit when it gets too hard, regardless of what other people want, because it's a really big comittment - believe me, I know.

  • they have to live at their gym most other countries and especial americans have a choice

  • i think its sad as in the Chinese training is the worst they truly have to sacrifice their childhood...

  • i agree

  • @theurbansoul At least they're not like a bunch of people who waste their lives doing drugs, drinking everyday, potheads, and other people that are like that. These people are training to be the best. And it's not just the Chinese who have strict disciplines, they're gymnastics training is just publicized, there are other cultures out there that you probably haven't even heard of that may do the same thing. You have to understand why other cultures do what they do and not be judgmental.

  • @theurbansoul

    YA!!!!

  • @theurbansoul Chinese training? how bout our USA tennis players that start around the age of 3? Young movie stars??? what about their childhood? We condone this by watching them perform and see a movie with young kids in it..isnt this a form of child labor? Its sad either way...

  • this is great!

  • I'm sorry, But I don't understand how it is "sad" that I included the Asian training in this video.

    It is merely showing the different styles of ELITE gymnastics training. Its not meant to be sad or offending - just showing the different training gymnasts go through,

  • i have to say.. im showing my niece these pictures of Gymnastics at the moment, and i am finding it slightly disturbing seeing little girls look like their in pain [3.35] ... trying to get her into gymnastics, and thats not a good example!!!!

  • well this is the truth of gymnastics. if your niece is new to the sport and she's joining just for fun, she'll have a wonderful time. but if she eventually joins a competitive team and has olympic dreams, then this montage is just showing the nature of the sport. there is a LOT of pain in gymnastics, a lot of fear and mental struggles, a lot of being pushed past your limits.

  • @iloverocknroll888 i completely agree, and i wanted to add something. gymnastics does involve a lot of physical pain and mental, but it makes you an overall stronger person. pain is temporary, but what gymnastics does to change a person, is for the better - and lasts forever. :)

  • TO ME THiS iSNT

  • @babiiesaur I think it is sad how hard they push them, nothing racial though I agree with you.

  • @babiiesaur Toddlers aren't meant to be a part of ELITE training. For instance, the little girl at 1:25. Really?

  • @sirrrowan these girls that do this stuff want to they want to work them self its not torture.

  • @sirrrowan what's so bad about showing asian training.people train diffrent in diffrent gyms.

    FYI if your going to give a nasty comment, don't give one at all.

  • @sirrrowan

    Man, people in our country truly are delusional.

  • this is realy sad.

  • wow thats HARD!

  • is excellent

  • wow this really shows how much work the elites put through.

  • i know they work their butts off and its extremely difficult but these girls are so lucky to have the opportunity to be at a gym like this.. i know ill never get there, my city simply just doesnt have the right equipment or gym or training...

    : )

    Oh thats really cool that you work there!

    Lol yeah, I recently started gym and my training is no way near as tough or hard as what these girls go through, or what you probably had to go through.

  • You are very very welcome! yeah it is a pretty awesome job I actaully went there to train for about 2 months but basically I was working out with the lvel 4's and being a level 8 gymnast (novice optional at the time) it was pretty easy then on April fools day (of all days) I tore my acl dimounting bars soo that took me out for 9 months (since I didn't have the surgery until June) and I have been back now for 10 months I have been working at Chows since February 08 so yeah thats' prtety much me!!
