Tamara Yerofeeva and Anna Bessonova warm up Innsbruck 2002

[MurasakiPearl]

Love their figure~ So elegant and pretty :)

[yumiko0017]

i'm good with my right but i still practice with my left. even though the left one hurts & harder to do it is better to do both legs instead of one.

[Kevinsf]

if you only practice only one side and neglect the other side, you'll develop scoliosis.

[QueenieQue]

Interesting, I'm way oversplit in my left leg, but only barely in my right leg! And yet I'm right-handed...hmm...

[MurasakiPearl]

@QueenieQue Hey me too :D

[bobthestaplerrulz]

im terrible with my left split but i can oversplit on my right (;

[Raduisya]

Interesting that they don't drink any water , just like in the old days we were not allowed to. It affects your performance.

[RG1143]

that is my rope routine music playing in the background starting at 1:34.

[LovelyMe93]

What are the saying?!!!

[8uccane]

Top Sache

[anukitskitishvili]

I think all R.G. girls have that problem

[LovelyMe93]

anukitskitishvili , what problem ?

[anukitskitishvili]

@LovelyMe93 they have 1 side better then other

[LovelyMe93]

anukitskitishvili , I do Rg to and it´s true!

[LuckyNinja11]

oops i just realized I spelt Kanaeva not Kabaeva lol

[LuckyNinja11]

I know anna is 5'10''! But she only weighs about 110 lbs but its all muscle. Alina Kanaeva is 5'6'', I think thats about the average heigh of an RG but i'm not 100% sure on that!

[dancingiskwl]

is it me or are all rg really tall

[GymnasticDancer]

I wonder why most rhythmic gymnasts perform almost everything with their right legs... as in their right leg splits, like left leg back to touch the head and what not. For example, when Anna is at the table at around 1:38 I think it was, her left leg went all the way in front of her face and the other leg didn't even go very far! It's like me, I learned right before left splits, and now everything is better that way. Its interesting, no?

[SnusMumrikkenLovesRG]

I have the same problem x)

I can do a oversplit on my right leg, but not even a split on my left leg xD funny xD

[marakisweety]

i'm a ballet dancer and i have the same problem......

[Hanly1996]

I have the same problem like you guys, I am better at left leg though. Now, my right leg is at good as my left leg,

but it takes time to training. But not all gymnast perform with just right leg. Look for Olga Stryuchkova, you will surprise that she is ambidextrous in legs.

[ebie1995]

its probably because 90% of the poplulation is right handed

[xXxReflectingGod]

im a lefty in my flexibility

[Sanchara]

I never noticed that before, but it's true most people are better on one leg than the other. Athough, my coaches tend to encourage me to work more on my bad leg then my good leg.

[GOdanceCHICK]

wow...u r very observant nd u r right!!! it is VERY interesting!

[lolamaysavestheday]

@GymnasticDancer most people are right handed and right legged - they are better at and prefer using their right over their left, even if the gymnast herself is not, her teacher more than likely is and therefore she would have been taught most of her choreography (for group things especially) using the right leg

[loveinseattle]

@GymnasticDancer haha same with ballet. im a ballerina i can only do 32 fouettes on my right feet. hmmmm. -.- i wish it was different though.

[sorakai]

@GymnasticDancer it is intresting. im not a rhytnmic gymnast, but i am a gymnast and our coach made us be equally good on both sides for just about everything, except acrobatic twisting elements. bessonova is pretty flexible on both sides, but her right is noticably stronger.

[bbyiceyxxx]

which grl is which??

[canirovegr]

Yerofeeva is the one wearing a white jacket at the beginning of the video.

[marilga]

the one with the white jacket is tamara and the one wearing all black is anna and yes the third gymnast that appears in the video is natalia

[SnusMumrikkenLovesRG]

Bessonova usually only wears all black x)

[elelpu]

what s name song ,??

[canirovegr]

Do you mean at 1:34?, I think it's Natalia Godunko training her rope routine. If so it's "Sing! Sing! Sing! (Part 1 and 2)" by Bob Fosse.

[bbyiceyxxx]

o thanx
