@BOOM7STAR I got your comment via email before it was removed. Not sure what you meant, but if you meant to say that the athletes in the other sports you mentioned, train as hard for that once a year event.... I get it!!! I always feel sorry for the runners up... All the Blood, Sweat and Tears.... All the pain and training, the sacrifices to obtain a goal... Anyone who puts that much effort into something they love to do, is a winner in my books....
There is no other side of gymnastics. The sport of gymnastics involves everything seen in this video. Even the stretching images from China, while difficult to watch, are not harmful. The coaches have done their job for many years and know how to make the gymnasts as flexible, strong, and tough as they will need to be.
Shall I make a montage of any other high requirement competitive sport during training and combine it with slow music and slowed scenes to make it look dramatic and bad? Shall I make mention of how many things have gone wrong during those exercises?
Of course gymnastics at a competitive level is not going to be easy! My daughter is 7 years old and started gymnastics when she was 3 years old. She is on the competition team at her gym and just finished her level 3 season. She practices 3 days a week for 3 hours at a time and loves it! In fact even with all the conditioning and hard training she is still bugging me to let her go 4 or 5 days a week. Some children have a drive for the sport, not all are forced.

Years ago I saw Shannon Miller muff a routine and start crying.... What a little princess I thought... She repeated this uncontrolled emotional behavior several times on national TV... I wondered why... After a little research, I realized a serious gymnast trains harder than any athlete on the planet!!!.... bar none!!!!
No football or hockey player practices 6 days a week for 6 hours. Okay Jerry Rice is an exception.... In one 3 min. routine, a step on a landing can del. a yr. of hard work.
boys dont get y we do gymnastics but then they say gymnastics is not a sport but its more of a sport than football or basketball we go through pain trying to do things we love we risk are lives and they say its not a sport id like to see them try gymnastics
any one who is a competitve sport, and competes, is going to endure training that is torture. I simply hurts to train your body, and athletes know its a part of life.

there's def some questionable practices here that be called inhumane but a lot of them are just falls that result in injury, which happens in every sport. The message of the video is def very important and needs addressing, but in some cases, falling or getting injured is a part of every sport. It doesn't mean that just bc ppl get injured, there's something inhumane going on. Injuries, unfortunately, are a part of every sport, no matter how safe the training or caring the coaches are.

I wanted to do gymnastics as a kid, but the coach told me I was too tall and my legs, torso and arms were too long.She said she wanted "short and pretty" girls, not "tall and lanky"
0:35-0:37 my former dance teacher did gymnastics as a kid and they would do that to her like everyday for like 20 minutes and now as a 25 year old some muscle in her leg is torn becus of it.
Hey guys, please watch and comment on some of my videos. Not a lot of people watch them and I really want peoples opinions. Most of my vidoes are of my gymnastics, so if ur interested check me out please and thank you =D

Olympic gymnastics are not what you get at your local gym. These are the real thing. Where only the top of the top make it with literally blood, sweat and tears. Do you think ANYONE in the real Olympic sports did not try this hard? It's almost disrespectful to not acknowledge their hard work.
it's hard and i break down in tears. all the time. but when i got that 1st place bars medal for bars... it all became clear what was gonna do with my life...
I sometimes wish I had done gymnastics as a kid, but it just looks too much like hard work. Hard work and pain should be the last thing on a child's mind.
Knew a girl, 10, had a t-shirt. It said "If gymnastics were easier, they'd call it football".
Video above shows some bad training techniques, like bouncing during stretching.
I fell on my head during a dismount from the rings when still in school. Glad I was able to walk away.
I wince a bit about gymnastics, it is elegantly beautiful when done well and gymnasts are incredibly fit, but the damage from accidents, poor training, and other forms of abuse may be permanent.
@MWAHAHAHAHAAHH my chinese studies teacher was telling us that when the children go to Montessori at 2 the people from the gymnastics schools come around and all the little kids have to do try out so the teachers can gauge their potential. the "good" children are transfared to a gymnastics school where they will spend the rest of their life practically
By the way. the athletes in this vid are busting their arses to be the best. If they did not do it in a gymnastic gym.... they would have been doing it some place else, ice scating, dancing. or where ever. Of being agressive in some unguided stupid path screwing up their lives.
Celebrate for them. They deserve the respect and celebration for their efforts
are you trying to say that being a dancer or an ice-scater isn't that hard. well think again, i train 6 hours a day at a classical ballet acadamay and 8 hours on satuurday and 4 hours on sunday and your tellung me that that they wouldn't be there.
The athletes in this vid are busting their arses to be their best.They chose to bust it in a gymnastic gym, others may chose, ice skating, dancing. orrr?. No matter where they would be aggressive AND emotional cause they are girls/woman. They WANT to do this deep down.
Celebrate for them. They deserve respect & celebration for efforts. What they learn here is better than street corners.
ahhhhh.... this represents artistic gymnastics. Please stop talking as if "gymnastics" is a single word who's only meaning is artistic. That is an absolute SLAP in the face to all the other hard working gymnast who do NOT do artistic but have instead decided to do one of the other 3 gymnastic "disciplines"
Gymnastics is a term that represents FOUR different disciplines and it has ALLWAYS had elements used in the four disciplines (Artistic, Rhthymic, Acro, Tumble-Tramp)
This comment had nothing to do with other sports outside of gymnastics.
Only saying to call Artistic Gymnast as the ONLY athletes that do a gymnastic sport worthy of the name "Gymnast" is a slap in the face to all the "gymnast" who also bust their arse.. but do NOT do Artistic.
I have "gymnast" that train at my gym that are National Champions.. and they have never touched a balance beam or a pommel horse. They do Tumble-n-Tramp , & Acrobatic Gymnastics. They too are GYMNAST
everyone knows what it is, but it is politically incorrect to say, "what we want to see", if it hurts it builds character, if it feels good it is bad. we're hypocrits especially with kids.
Sacramones performance was terrible during the olympics and was the reason why Team USA lost. With that kind of performance and still made it to the national team, I wonder how many coaches did she have to sleep with in order to get the spot. Her ass is so fat, I think her ass is at least 20 pounds extra compared to her teammates. That was why she brought down Team USA. Stupid bitch should go to Jenny Craig. Alicia will go down as the worst, and most disgraceful gymnast in Olympic history.
@sftbalhunn98 yea but for these girls training is torture. if you see what they go through, like one i saw a vid of a girl having her leg pulled into such a high oversplit and she was sobbing and the lady who was pulling her leg was laughing her ass off. it was the most disturbing thing EVER.
gymnastics is not torture, it's an amazing sport. it's not even something that's a sport anymore to us, it's our way of life. its fun, it may hurt at times. but it's all worth it. when you stand on the podium with your medal, it's amazing. the pain is worth it, cause it's helping you get better at the sport.
stretching oversplits. fairly common in any gymnastic sport - that might ache a bit but other things (falling) hurt more! at least she had a short asian bloke, my coach was a f'off fat italian woman and when she sat/leaned on you while stretching.... haha, ouch. fun though - because you're doing it with mates.
we do it for fun and ya we do have things wrong with us i brook my ankle and never gave it the right care so now i have a bad ankle that hearts to to anything pretty much but you just get used to it and live with it.
I can't believe those girls put their bodies through that kind of torture. You only get one body, one life, one chance and they will be spent by 30 at the latest and have bodily issues for the rest of their lives all for a stupid metal. Girls have died doing this stuff for no good reason. I don't get it...no offense meant, it just makes no sense to me to do that to yourself.
when iwas compeating, i felt like i was reaching for perfection, i was so close and some of us, we push ourselves so hard, we are willing to do anything to achieve the impossible, perfection.
im a gymnast and ther r reason to y we do all this not because its like fun to do this to ourselfs like the pain and everything but to a gymnast its more of a life than a sport and its sumthing we could nvr imagine living without it.
I am no longer a gymnast, but I know why. In so much you have to push yourself to the limit and put your body at risk, but it is amazing. It's beyond a thrill, it's a passion. In every single passion there are risks.

i think johnyawuncar3 you should keep ur type of comments to yourself i dont know how old u r but grow up it happened sacramone went u cant change that you should be more reasonable when calling her fat coz shes far from it an there is enough eating disorders in this sport iam glad she has a normal womens shape shes a good role module......
i agree! she's amazing, she was just having an off day! it's a team thing and she was amazing! its awesome to have someone in the olympics who doesn't have an eating disorder! johnyawuncar3 is just a jerk and probably can't do half the stuff alicia can do, so johnyawuncar3 should just shove it!
im a 12-year-old gymnast and i appretiate you making a montage but i was wondering if u could make a montage of acrobatics because since acro isnt condered a sport the abuse of most acrobats goes far beyond what it should.
i am a dancer and dont get me wrong dance is extremly hard people dont think that dancing isnt hard work and i have cried soo many tears from the pain and i have had injuries....(broken fingers,toes,ankles,,and hte worst knee caps.) it is thee best thing in the world(dancing)if you could please making a montage about dancing it would be the greates thing ever...they have dance montages but they arent in english and they are just about classical ballet..please please please thank you.....c.deni
i'm a dancer and i guess i don't understand quite the experiences that gymnasts go through. i really admire the fact that they have so much courage, strength, and motivation. it's truly amazing. this video shows that despite the injuries and despite the mistakes they keep trying. i think that's inspiring. good video. =]
I USED to do gymnastics. I mean competion after comeption and my coach ( no names ) she broke my leg. She pushed me dwn in splits and jumped on my back. snap. Havn't done it since/
This is so bad my mate is a gymnast and i am really scared that she will really badly hurt herself of die (i watched another video) how scary and some gymnasts look anerxic :S

dont get me wrong - gymnastics is obviously dangerous, as are most sports - but most of the falls look like they hurt a lot worse than they actually do. gymnasts are trained to fall the right way so there's less chance of getting seriously injured.
This sport is getting ridiculously dangerous. I'll let my kid learn a round-off, back handspring, back tuck and then she's outta the sport and onto soccer, tennis, volleyball--something safer. This sport is waaayyyy more risky then the aforementioned.
I'm not sure this is a valid argument. My gymnastic buddies were having a conversation about this. It's kind of like comparing golf to skateboarding, they are completely different. But, you're right, gymnastics is one, probably the, toughest sport.
haha, that's what we say about ballet. "If ballet was easy it would be called football." and we also say that "Dancers are tougher than football players." Its soooo true.
What we do to these little girls in the persuit of glory is inrepresensible. I love gymnatstics. Always have. Wanted to be one. This isn't what i dreamt. It's a nightmare.
this is awesome. the gymnasts still go threw all this pain and hardship because they truely do love th sport. they are all winners in my eyes. they all totaly completly inspire meh!
nowadays we see kids from all over the world saying "i am going to the olympics" i don't criticize them but they just don't c that it takes more then wanting to be a good gymnast!
I was in a youth circus, we performed all the acts a professional circus did, and I did this from the time I was 6 all the way up into my twenty's, it hurt and a huge sacrifice, but i loved it, If my kids wanted to do this, it's their choice all i can do is be here when they decide it's to hard.
I just think thats so sad, especially Asian countries fear train children into gymnastics. They have about 100 5 year olds that can do the splits, backflips, the works, but they're just cast out for those whose fingers are held closer together. It's awful.
For any Americans here, this is called SACRIFICE and DETERMINATION to be the best. This is what you have to go through. If nobody went through this, there would be no elite gymnasts. Statistically it's probably no more dangerous than any other highly physical sport.
At my gym club they trained you hard, but it wasn't verging on abuse. At least we had a choice, if you didn't want to go through the pain; you didn't go to the training but i suspect those young 5 year old girls didn't have a choice. It's terrible.
Believe me, I would rather watch soccer, but my daughter is a talented gymnast and it is like breathing to her. I will support her choice, it is not my dream but rather hers. If she chose to play soccer tomorrow, we are there! But I admire the sacrifice and dedication these young athletes make to reach their goals. It will reward them in their adult lives in instilling faith, discipline, and dedication. If a child does not love it, they should not be forced to do it.
A few years ago two parents when out for dinner. A few hours later the baby sitter called to ask if she should cover up the clown statue in the kid's room. The father said they didn't have a clown statue and to take the kids out of the house and call the police. The "clown" statue was was really an escaped killer from prison if you dont post this on 10 videos he will come to you house to night and kill you with a chainsaw. sorry this one freaked me
they should not be working these kids to the point of tears and its the worst in china i saw this thing on cnn about them. these are the kids who go to the olympics and mess up because there so nervous about messing up its never going to work
there is a point where hard working is changing into child abuse. if you see them crying and you see that they actually don't want to continue. it's just wrong.

The athletes in this vid are busting their arses to be their best.They chose to bust it in a gymnastic gym, others may chose, ice skating, dancing. orrr?. No matter where they would be aggressive AND emotional cause they are girls/woman. They WANT to do this deep down.
Celebrate for them. They deserve respect & celebration for efforts. What they learn here is better than street corners.
hope that gets my point across better.

ahhhhh.... this represents artistic gymnastics. Please stop talking as if "gymnastics" is a single word who's only meaning is artistic. That is an absolute SLAP in the face to all the other hard working gymnast who do NOT do artistic but have instead decided to do one of the other 3 gymnastic "disciplines"
Gymnastics is a term that represents FOUR different disciplines and it has ALLWAYS had elements used in the four disciplines (Artistic, Rhthymic, Acro, Tumble-Tramp)

This comment had nothing to do with other sports outside of gymnastics.
Only saying to call Artistic Gymnast as the ONLY athletes that do a gymnastic sport worthy of the name "Gymnast" is a slap in the face to all the "gymnast" who also bust their arse.. but do NOT do Artistic.
I have "gymnast" that train at my gym that are National Champions.. and they have never touched a balance beam or a pommel horse. They do Tumble-n-Tramp , & Acrobatic Gymnastics. They too are GYMNAST

everyone knows what it is, but it is politically incorrect to say, "what we want to see", if it hurts it builds character, if it feels good it is bad. we're hypocrits especially with kids.

Sacramones performance was terrible during the olympics and was the reason why Team USA lost. With that kind of performance and still made it to the national team, I wonder how many coaches did she have to sleep with in order to get the spot. Her ass is so fat, I think her ass is at least 20 pounds extra compared to her teammates. That was why she brought down Team USA. Stupid bitch should go to Jenny Craig. Alicia will go down as the worst, and most disgraceful gymnast in Olympic history.

@sftbalhunn98 yea but for these girls training is torture. if you see what they go through, like one i saw a vid of a girl having her leg pulled into such a high oversplit and she was sobbing and the lady who was pulling her leg was laughing her ass off. it was the most disturbing thing EVER.

gymnastics is not torture, it's an amazing sport. it's not even something that's a sport anymore to us, it's our way of life. its fun, it may hurt at times. but it's all worth it. when you stand on the podium with your medal, it's amazing. the pain is worth it, cause it's helping you get better at the sport.

stretching oversplits. fairly common in any gymnastic sport - that might ache a bit but other things (falling) hurt more! at least she had a short asian bloke, my coach was a f'off fat italian woman and when she sat/leaned on you while stretching.... haha, ouch. fun though - because you're doing it with mates.

dont get me wrong - gymnastics is obviously dangerous, as are most sports - but most of the falls look like they hurt a lot worse than they actually do. gymnasts are trained to fall the right way so there's less chance of getting seriously injured.

I just think thats so sad, especially Asian countries fear train children into gymnastics. They have about 100 5 year olds that can do the splits, backflips, the works, but they're just cast out for those whose fingers are held closer together. It's awful.

For any Americans here, this is called SACRIFICE and DETERMINATION to be the best. This is what you have to go through. If nobody went through this, there would be no elite gymnasts. Statistically it's probably no more dangerous than any other highly physical sport.

At my gym club they trained you hard, but it wasn't verging on abuse. At least we had a choice, if you didn't want to go through the pain; you didn't go to the training but i suspect those young 5 year old girls didn't have a choice. It's terrible.

It will reward them in their adult lives in instilling faith, discipline, and dedication. If a child does not love it, they should not be forced to do it.
