  • see the weight on the little girls back as she does those "crunches!!" none of us sitting on our computers could do that! but I think wayyyyyyyy to much is asked of these girls and shame on the coaches and parents for all the pressure....just shame.

  • i don't see cheer leaders doing this stuff.......i was a cheerleader and a gymnast at the same time and realized all you have to do is tie a bow in your hair and shout "yea"........this video shows how much harder gymnastics is. nobody argues this cuz i will not respond...

  • i am a gymnast and train 3 days a week for 3 and a half hours a day...

  • ballerinas work MUCH harder

  • Comment removed

  • So NOT true, i did elite gymnastics and ballet to help flexibility and gymnast train more and way harder. sorry but idk where you came from.

  • @AlirennRenee I don't really know enough about either ballet or gymnastic to argue about what is harder, I admire people who can do either, but it seems to me that you have done a little ballet, you haven't trained to be a professional ballet dancer. If so, it's a bit different, don't you think? Did you try pointe?

  • @AlirennRenee (cont). You did elite gymnastics which is very high level (and you have my admiration for that), but it seems to me the equivalent training in ballet would be like those prestige ballet schools like School of American Ballet where kids train to be professional dancers for hours every day. Did you go to one of those schools? Otherwise, it's just not a fair comparison - a little amateur ballet vs serious elite gymnastics.

  • @jewelmarkess I did dance before i started gymnastics.. i lived at a ballet school.. then i started gymnastics and only started doing it like once a week for 5 hours ( my gymnastics coach said it was a must* the nin the gym we use too doo it.. so yess.

  • @AlirennRenee I see. I was just curious obviously as I've not done either personally, I couldn't presume to venture an opinion - it's all amazing to me. I couldn't do either ... I did see an opposite opinion also from someone who did both, so what you say about different people makes sense too. Thanks for clarifying it.

  • @jewelmarkess Your welcome :)

  • @jewelmarkess But then again some people can handle stuff better then others..tthats with me.. just because to me gymnastics is harder, doesnt mean for some people its easier.. that thats her opinion and with the way she is.

  • @5gymnastrock you knwow what else is poor?? your sense of humor...

  • These little girls train HARDER than any man in any sport, easily! I see little girls in gymnastics packing on such INSANE amounts of muscle, I look like a little pencilneck standing next to them.

    RESPECT.

  • whats the name of the gymnasts in this?

  • it sucks cause when you're at the age you can actually decide what you want to do in life you're probably too old to achieve serious performance in gymnastics. so that choice has to be made for them at a very young age.

  • For those arguing about which is more difficult between cheerleading and elite gymnastics I can sette it once and for all: cheerleading is a hobby: gymnastic is a SPORT. Argument over.

  • nics.. :)

  • yes gymnast train verry hard(i know cuz im in gymnastics)

  • this is quite disturbing I can't believe that's what these poor little girls are put through.

  • I actually think gymnastics might be the strongest people alive!

  • little girls... more like overemotional men. god how could they do that to themselves. their growth and hormones and everything must be fucked up.

  • @FutureLifetime There training for something they want those girls are going for chances in the olympics!

  • @FutureLifetime How is being athletic going to "fuck up" their growth?

  • This video shows me that gymnastics are for the muscular, powerful and unwavering personalities. I mean the 1st girl in the beginning had a huge lat spread and she wasnt even trying, then a girl near the end was easily doing reverse sit ups with a huge dumbell on her lower back. I confess, I am the little pencil neck that must step out of thier way. For these young girls we must show one thing. RESPECT.

  • Beautiful video, wonderful song.

    SERGIO

  • during season my team is doing 2 and a half hours of practice every day and I definitely agree it takes a lot of determination and also mental strength

  • 2:22 , what was that girl standing on?

  • @x0hollisterx0365 Parallel bars.

  • I was an elite gymnast since I was 5 to when I was 9 now I am 11 and quit abut 2 yrs ago and I want people to know to never under estimate a gymnast no matter how big, small, old or young because it really is an extreme sport. It involves determination, effort, hard work, long hours, pressure, skill, will power and so many million more. It really is a tough sport but i salute you gymnasts who are doing what they love even though they are pushed beyond the limit on a daly basis to be perfect.

  • some children r forced in gymnastics , most gymnasts train for 2 hours at minimin each day , and fit in school work aswell

  • nice video

  • love it! :)

  • whats the song called?

  • just a little girl by amy studt.

  • thanks

  • @fizzywizzy2006 from about 0:56, i see these little girls training, theyre all wearing the same pink leo... where can i watch that? is it a reality show?

  • @shiningstars1997 its from a documentary if you type in: "parkettes perfect ten" on youtube it will come up. I would say its defiantly worth a watch.

  • @tashish4gym just a little girl

  • im a gymnast and horse rider gym can be soo painfull wen they dnt listen and force you into a certain move and the worst thing you can get from that is having ur tummy muscles pulled and no thay dnt always catch you :s and wen you get older they make u do 25 hourse a week!!!

  • alright this cheerleading and gymnastics thing is bullshit i was a gymnast and a cheerleader at the same time (all star isnt that much harder than high school...you have a spring floor...your not a hero.) their both hard. of corse your going to fall in both but in cheerleading your more likely to get back injuries and neck ones and gym is more likely to get ankles and wrists their both hard stop friggin fighting

  • i dont want 2 start an argument either but if u were an elite gymnast i think u might have a different opinion... do u even no how hard they push u in gymnastics?? im not saying cheer is like easy..but i think it requires a LOT more strength and courage to be a gymnast :)

  • @sodapop77777 u r right but different reasons cheer is gymnastics dancing and weight lifting all mashed together

  • wrong

    gymnasts do FLOOR

    BARS

    BEAM

    AND VAULT

    im a cheerleader and a gymnast, their both really amazing and hard sports

    and you get all friggin types of injuries in BOTH sports

  • you cannot be serious....you are ridiculous. im not even gonna start because this is all bs. elite gymnastics is the hardest sport out there. cheerleading is nothing compared to it.

  • i know its soo hard!! two days ago we had evaluation week and I had to do a flip flop on the hard ground by myself and i fell on my knees both times!!! boyy did that hurt!

  • i think gymnastics is the best sport ever and i am going to be in the olimpics when i am 17

  • goodness they're all so muscular. o:

    i'mma dancer and lots of my friends on our team used to be gymnasts, and i'm tellin you, they have some skill and guts.

  • jeez ppl there both good sports.......

  • ive done gymnastics for 2 years and switched tocheerleading and its the sam we all tumble its equal for crying out loud

  • bake to the tumbling on the 3 inch beam i used to do cheerleading to gymnastics is way harder

  • Is That All You got ? Back To The Pulling Crazy Flexible Things in someones hands and Ive Worked 4 years To Get to Where i am . What Cheerleading are you talking about School Cheerleading um no thats not real cheerleading

  • i dont need anything to let u no that gymnastics is way hareder we compete on 4 events ok and they all have to do with tumbling either if its on a board, a bar, a beam, a spring floor we do it we dont stand and flip it someones hands ok so watev

  • we tumble all the time and cheerleading is pretty much gymnastics i can say beam is hard but i dont want to fight about it anymore and it is the same no matter what u or anyone else says

  • ok?!?!

  • fyi i am a level 8 soooo u problably wher a level 2 sooo i wouldent be talkin

  • cheerleading is diffrent then gymnastics! level 5 is the highest you can go double fulls double tucks. Yeah ive been tumbling for 8 years how old are you 12 13 yeah im 10! so yeah and cheerleading is just as hard as gymnastics we practice we hurt our selfs we do all the stuffyou do put that in ur head

  • yea and gymnastics goes up to level 10. level 5 in cheerleading is a sissy level gymnastics is all about hurting ur self and winning cheer leading is all about crying when u dont win and being girly girls so i wouldent b talkin soooo..... boo ya hahaha cheerleading is a sissy sport gymnastics is actually known to be the most dangerous and terrifying sports no wounder u quite didnt have the guts to do it no guts no glory ha ..... bow chika wowwow

  • look i dont want to fight about this but my sport is one of no IS the most dangerous terrifying scary sports ever people have risked there life for parylized trama even died ok people risk there lives for wat they love ok its always talking about it ok gymnastics is really dangerous look at the stuff we have to do i can die tomoro doing it for all i no ok u never no!

  • cheerleading is a make up of gymnastics soooo i wouldent b talking cuz cheerleading stole r sport

  • can we just agree that both our sports have harder stuff than others but there will always be one thing the same we ALL have the desire to go far in our sport and that we would give ANYTHING for your sport and if you wouldnt you dont love yoursport

  • yea i gess thats true sorry

  • wow it took you both a long time to just settle your differences. Every one in any sport around the world wants to be the best they can at the sport it doesnt really matter if its gymnastics cheerleading even golf. gymnastics isn't the only sport where people injur themselves swimmers runners baseball players just about anything comes at a price.

  • nobody said that gymnastics is the only sports that u injury urself in ok its just one of the hardest one of

  • sorry i didnt say that my friend did i no i uesed to do cheerleading too but now i do gymnastics they are both incedably hard

  • level 5 is level 10 in gymnastics so HA and cheerleading is the most dangourag sport look it up! haha you wouldnt have the guts to do what ido EVERYday of my life and acually im a tomboy and i dont cry at all and no one crys hahaha if you watched the video people are crying ahaha and i almost got Paralyzed Because of cheerleading and Girly Girl cheerleading is School Cheerleading. So yeah think about stuff before you say it

  • *cough* LEIR *cough*

    im level 5 and ive been to worlds HAHAHAAHAHA and your talking about zits now o.O what the heck we have to pull stuff when standing in someones hands and if you tryed you would fall right on your face Hahaha and btw gymnsatic was started by a diffrent sport so you stole there sport. You probley sucked at cheerleading and thats why you quit and did beam and all that stuff. and You were probley falling every where and quit because you sucked :]

  • i dont want 2 get in this whole argument but im just saying most the time gymnasts quit gymnastics and go 2 cheerlading... not the other way around!

  • ok u said in an earlier comment u were 10 years old and almost had a full and now ur saying u have double fulls and double back ur obviously lying and besides gymnastics is waaaaay harder u have people to catch u if u fall in a stunt we just crash on HARD equipment and i would know because i did cheerleading and not just school cheering i was on an all-star team so yeah

  • Yeah u know those people dont always catch you right? u know that theres people who died from this right? you dont know anything about cheerleading do u? i bet not and honestly i could careless what anyone says about cheerleading i know gymnastics is hard and btw cheerleaders have the same floors gymnast have :]

  • i used to be a level 6, then quit. this is soo true! gymnastics is so full of pain sweat and tears, it is worth it!

  • i am an elite, i practice up to 7 hrs. a day and practice 5 days a week. i agree with these movies. there is a 9 yr. old in our gym and she is just the most amazing girl u would ever meet. she's been through so much and she's 9. she had to move away from her parents and live with someone else. just to be here. i am 13, but i've never gone through that. she is so strong and so dedicated.

  • I no what you mean me n my sister had to move from our parents when we did gymnastics but i quit after 4 years after moving away from them and that was about 5 years a go and im 15 now, but my sister still lives with other people and we dont didnt get to see our parents much every couple of months because of money

  • What the song called!!

  • your stupid

  • lové it :)

  • i ♥ the song cuz im really small for my age and a lot of ppl make fun of me cuz of that

  • well right now i'm taking a little break from the gym and it feels so unstressful and i can really enjoy myself.

  • This is a great montage. I am an artistic gymnast and I train 4 days a week. (The gym is only open 4 days a week) I train for 5 hours a day usually. (I wish I could trin longer!) I am going to camp woodward to train in august and I am really excited because the maximum hours you can train is 7 hours a day.

  • i train 4 days a week too and only 3 or 4 hours a day so I know exactly what you mean. you are sooooo lucky though; I would love to go to 1 of those camps, it sounds like heaven in a gym!!!! tell how it went when you get back!!!!!

  • @fizzywizzy2006 im a power gymnast train 5 days a week and sometimes on the weekend the gym is my second home love it!!!!!!

  • cool it would be so cool to go to woodward im a level 5 and we train 4 days a week 3-4 hours a day at my gym

  • Great video

    I do gymnastics I train up12 8 hours a day and spend most of my free time there

  • They ARE a different race of being. Grace, Strength & Beauty personified.

  • nice song.

    it goes with it real well.

  • thanks

  • ok this really shows what we go through I like it

  • 1:51-1:53...WHAT????!!!

  • I know!!! its not that ex realy though, gymnasts that age often cry when they are stretched, (sorry I cant spell)

  • Who is the gymnast at 2:11

  • amazing!

    whats the song name?

  • just a little girl by amy studt

  • I agree. Thay are the brvest people in the worls. I don't think a person who is not in gymnastics would even be able to TRY to do this!

  • i used to do almost all of that... and then i broke my ankle so bad, compound fracture and 3breaks... well there was a lot more lol but i miss it. believe it or not i miss it. i would give anything to do it all again but i cant... i still need pins.

  • amazing!!!

  • what the hell kind of parents push their kids so hard at a sport that it makes them cry?? Ridiculous.

  • Yeah its kinda sad, i hate seeing kids crying. Like they say though no pain no gain.l think they are amazing athelets for the ages. Remarkable muscle tone they have.

  • Just because they cry, doesn't mean they don't like it. I've cried many times in dance, gymnastics, and acting because I get so frustrated if I can't do something right and I just break down. That doesn't mean I don't like it. In fact if I wasn't passionate about it, I wouldnt cry because I wouldn't care if I did if right or wrong. People cry for things they DO care about not for they they dont care about.

  • that's exactly what happens. it happens in basketball too. i get to so freakin angry at myself. & i get so angry at myself, i cry. its something we care about. you're right.

  • i kno i cry at gymnastics practice sometimes cuz im frustrated or i hurt but that doesnt mean i dont luv the sport.

  • is that girl standing on paralell bars?

  • yeahh !! lol havent u ever seen people doing that !! to help ith balance and conditioning stuff before

  • woah that is weird

  • Oh I saw some of this on making it into the TOPS program for gymnastics. Those parents wacked. My daughter was a competitive gymnast and would never have done the stuff these parents did.

  • we have tops at our gym but we dont take it too seriously. in my opinion if u take TOPS too seriously that by the time the girls are like 12 they want to quit because it isnt any fun.

  • who is that at 2:10, and wheres the footage from?

    great montage!

  • that is Shantessa Pama..... I think that is what she is called anyway!!

  • cute

  • alot of kids in my school say its a easy sport there so wrong

  • i kno! i have 3 bros and they say that it inst a sport so i told one to do my beam routine and he couldnt do the mount! lol

  • yeah 2day in school kids were saying gymnastics isnt a sport and that its gay.I was so mad

  • uhh y is this video "no longer available"??? i really wanted to see it

  • this video is still here!!! you tube is probably messing up again!!!

  • Why are they always crying? That's so horrible

  • you must not be a gymnast are you ?? lol !!

  • I'am a gymnast!=)But I don't like crying children nevertheless!!!

  • OMG!! I like love this vid., use gymnasts don't get any credit for the crap we go through. Thanks!

  • Thank you, Fizzy. I'm very much pleased and humbled with what you have shown here, and grateful for your effort to assemble such a concise anthology of the "issues" of the sport. Hats off also to the film-clip sources. Here, there are important things for most anybody of any age to observe and consider pertaining to bodies, exercise, and health.

  • thnkyou for the posetive feedback!!! :)

  • whatz this song called

  • wo woo wow wow goood video yeahh is really truth :) yeah godd ggood 5 stars

  • I <3 this video!! This vid isn't exactly my life but it is close!!! my coach always says " If your not crying your not trying"!!

  • thats harsh. my coach used to say "if it doesnt hurt, your not doing it right"

  • my coach says that too

  • i am not on you tube

  • huh?

  • they are the bravest people! thats an opinion i share

  • i share that opinion as well!! like Haley said in Stick It "Gymnasts make Navy Seals look like wusses, and we do it without a gun" its sooo true

  • omg. u sound like me ima level 5 going on 6 gymnast and i rlly wanna make it and i think i can if i had the training and this is an amazing video
