  • very inspiring and true

  • Well done. Though it hurts watching it. I admire their flexibility, their strength, their endurance, their grace - their capabilities. But is the vague prospect of being a celebrity for a short while worth losing their childhood or maybe even their health?

  • im an elite nd i hav a sist in one wrist nd i mite hav torn the muscle on my elbow but i stil train on it i dont listen to the dr i kept doin it but if i do i could hav to go in to surgery nd i wont be able to do gym anymore but i stil dont listen

  • what documetry is this from i want to see it great video i love the music

  • at our gym we had to do the streching at 0:58

  • ya im gona train to go to the olympics

  • who is this song by? Ive almost broke my knee,ankle,neck,back,wrist,and shoulder in gymnastics.Ive spraned both my wrists and ankles at least 4 times. Ive dislocated my knee.Did somethin to my back,I couldnt run or jump for like a month.And theirs alot more,over 15 injuries!

  • Its by fort Minor have no clue who dat is but i looked it up cause i wanted 2 know also I know how you fell with gymnastics though and its hard and intense i dont go to Parkettes but im switching gyms soon and going there cause my gym doesnt have enough hard training and i want ot go to the olyimpics so just wanted to tell you!!!!!!!!

  • am an elite gymnast i train 6 times a week al day i have poped both the bursta in my knees and i hurt the heal groth in my ankles x it hard work

  • For those who say that gymnastics is not a sport.......please watch this! Personally, I think gymnastics is harder than any professional sport out there. People do not realize the hours involved, the injuries, the conditioning, and the mental impact.

    Anyone can throw a football, baseball basketball, ect. But not just anyone can throw a double back or something simple like a back hand spring. It really does take talent for the simple things in gymnastics. Most people just do not get it.

  • really amazing. (:

  • were did you get the footage from

    i recognised the

    - parkettes doco

    - Nastia

    - the us team

    - and the chinese gymnasts

    but i have never seen the other stuff before

  • its hard to believe

    alot of gym's even start before 7:30 great montage though

    well done

  • nice kara so true

  • amazing what the human body is capable of!! These girls are outstanding in talent and dedication alike! Beautifully put together, thank you :)

  • Thats what makes gymnastics so bad ass! Not everyone can do it. Or make it for that matter. So please come back home..

  • i've been away from home for years

  • These girls are so small i was that small in lv 3 wow

  • the girl in the clip at exactly 2:00 looks just like my sister O.o

  • yeah it is hard but you push through it!!!

  • every time i need some motivation to keep on training i watch this clip , just makes me wanna tortue myself a bit more , no pain no gain

  • So sad

  • does anybody have somebody who spends long hours in the gym.??

  • Love the video and the song I almost cried.

    :)

  • im with you its so sad and really well done at the same time lol..these poor girls are so cute =( i love it!

  • yeah olivia and breana? whered you go? i cry everyday thinking where are my best buds because i never see the only way i can is to go to the gym! <3 you guys!!!!

  • all ur videos make me cry!

  • They have all the right.

    I spent two years of my live just wanting to quit all the time, dreading practices. But I still went.

    It isn't a sport, it's a lifestyle.

    The only reason you carry on is that belife that you CAN stick the move and that you CAN do it. Some can't go through with the pain and the tears, but those who can, make it. That's what this is about. It's making people realise that we didn't just walk into worlds. We fought to get there.

  • you people have no right to make these videos! your always showing the bad side! Gymnastics may be hard but when you have a dream and want to make it come true gymnastics is your life and you dont care how hard you are being pushed so there just shut up people! gymnastics is everything to me and i never want to quit!

  • Why are you getting so angry? Almost everyone watching this video is a gymnast! Karakarateka is just trying to show people the hard times that gymnasts go to..she isn't putting the sport down! Btw great vid! Gymnastics rocks! =)

  • um yah actually people have all the right to make these videos...if they do the sport because they know how hard it is. and they arent complaining about it or just showing the bad side they're just trying to show how hard it is because sence you do do this sport im sure you know how hard it is and how scary and paiful this sport truely is. and good for you never wanting to quit, but the fact is whether or not you want to admit it everyone goes thro a i want to quit stage so YOU just shut up!

  • omg i do gymnastics but i never ever been threw as much pain they are going threw my coach never put us threw that she did like lil stuff and i us to hate like 5o push up but when i see that i can tell how good we had it

  • is it worth it???????????

    i am a dancer we are hardcore but come one live dont give ur life away i feel ur pain it is ok to quite u wont let any one down !!!!!!!!!!!

  • i have been a gymsnt for 12 years i went elite when i was 9 and i am in the gym 78 hours a week

    i go in at 7:30-1:30 and then again at 3-8:30

  • I dance, compete, and have been doing it for a long, long time, but i don't get that serious because you're suppose to be having fun and these videos are really good, but it never, ever looks like they are enjoying themselves, and i always end up, not meaning to, feel very sorry for those people

  • look at how little they are!!!

  • HardcoreRandomer, Um, 3 words- what the hell?

    Yeah, Gymnastics is hard, and your tryin to say football is hard- yes. i'm sure everybody already knows that. but this is a montage about how hard GYMNASTICS is not FOOTBALL. it's not like at the end of the montage she's going to be like "oh and also, all these sports are hard:___" and list allt he sports? Freaking loser.

  • bro quit calling people losers..if you would have read all the comments you would of seen that he wasnt the one who originally mentioned football.he was simply standig up for his sport due gymnistbabe12's remarks as to its being easy(which appeared to be intended as a joke)or something from a t shirt

    nonetheless he didnt bring up football. but im mean really we're watching a video about hardwork and determination and we're sitting on our computers arguing what sport is harder?

    come on now

  • Ehm I Wasn't The One Who Mentioned It Thankyoo.

    I Was Infact Defending The Sport I Love.

    If You Read The Comments Before You Will Understamd Better.

  • well... i played flag football as a kid... and i have done gymnastics ALL my life.

    i was doing gymnastics during the same time i was doing flag football... and... honestly... gymnastics WAS harder. no lie. i mean... i know that tackle football has to be harder because you are getting hit and shit... but from my point of view... i think gymnastics is harder then AT LEAST flag football. not to mention my boyfriend is a hardcore football player and i took him to one of my practices and he told me

  • that he thought gymnastics was AL LOTTTT harder

  • Sorry Last Comment About Football Was Aimed Back At gymnistbabe12.. :)

  • i think people cant jude sports if they havent donme both

  • I Agree Completly :D

    That Was The Point I Was Trying To Put Across In My Last Comment.. :)

  • Who do you think you are? Ya you did foot ball but I have been doing gymnastics for 8 years and I have seen the pain even I have seen how hard it is for little chinesse girls. So just chil!!!!!!!!!!

  • Yeah But Have You Done Football?

    I Know I Haven't Done Gymnastics And I Know By All These Videos It Must Be Hard But You Need To Have Tried The Sport Your Critscing Before You Say Anything ABout It.. :D

    (Sorry About Spelling)

    And For Those That Gave Me Thumbs Down On My Last Comment Thats Fair Enough But I Was Putting Across My Views :)

    Again Love The Video :D x

  • If gymnastics was easy it would be called football!!!!!!!

  • Excuse Me But Just Beacuse Gymastics Is Hard Doesn't Mean Everything Else Is Easy :O

    I Used To Play Football And Believe Me Its Harder Than You Think.. You Injure Yourself Just As Much As Gymnasts Do. Have You Ever Watched A Football Match?It Needs The Same Amount Of Effort, Time, Tears, Pain And Everything Else That Goes Along With It.Before You Start Making Snide Remarks Try Actually Playing Football.. And A Don't Mean A Kick About I Mean In A Team That There Is A Risk Of Injury. Good Vid :)

  • i am in the gym 78 hours a week your a football mayeb 4 hours a day 3 times a week if lucky

  • wow!

  • that was really good!

  • this will always be my fave montage!!

  • great montage

    i realy have respect for al these gymnasts who go so far away from home to archieve there dream!!!!

    they must have a dificult life whit home and gymnastics!!

  • the little giirl at 2:13 is so cute

  • Wow! This is so amazing! =) I wish I could have talents like the ones all of these young kids have! Nice video, and the song is great!

  • You definitely have a talent for putting together inspiring videos, of yourself and others. Please keep them coming.

  • this is wat i have to do!!!

  • this is wat i have to do!!!

  • You gotta give it your all when your in gymnastics or you wont get anywhere

  • Great job.

  • What's the song??Does it deals with gymnastics??

  • its Where'd You Go by Fort minor. and no i dont think it was written to deal with gym. but its a great song for it.

  • These girls are really serious and dedicated,they're an excellent example of strenght and determination for all athletes who want to have good results also at less important levels.

  • I trained with Bela in the 80's but didn't make it. Thanks for sharing a video that shares to the world the pain and suffering in the life of a gymnast.

  • thats cool

    whats ur name

  • its sad that some really talented gymnasts never make it to the olympics or even big competitions, but at the same time i'd still kill to be in any of their positions...just to be really talented at gymnastics! i put in 13 years of hard work to figure skating and basically for nothing so i sorta know what its like...very frustrating. anyways, cool montage, the song fits well!

  • I do gymnastics for 6 hours every day monday-sunday

  • this is really good

    i really like it

  • Great Job! Awesome, please make more videos!!

  • i wish i could train that much

  • awesome montage!!! one of my favourites!!! love the song too!! good match!!

  • At 1:19 when they're jumping over the black mats, are those weights around their ankles? :0

  • yea it is. helps with muscles. really good training.

  • We train with weights on our ankles on bars and floor alot. Very common!

  • i love this. great job!

  • i lovee this. the song and everything is right on! :)

  • its so sad how they move to train at the age of 4 sometimes im 9 i might move away from home to train at parkettes

  • are oyu serious? i would go to WOGA if you were to go anywhere. they arent as hard, but they are as good as parkettes. just my opinion.

  • whoops i meant "it" not "is" lol!

  • great song. fits is perfect!

  • i want to do gymnastics so bad, but my parents dont trust me - long story to do with my body, now im 13 n they still have only upgraded it to maybe:( thanx for spoliling my dream foks, btw whered u get the footage whenever it has writing on?

  • they are ridiculously strong

  • omg this made me cry, its so good!

  • yeah i totally agree with you! im 16 years old and i just realised that i wanted to try gymnastics! right now we are moving but when we get to where we are going my parent are going to let me try gymnatics! i know im to old to ever become an elite but thats not what i want i just want to try the sport!

  • i would love to be able to do this all the time! from my point of view, they've been given the chance of a lifetime, but i understand thats not what every one wants. my parents think im too busy to take it on and its soO frustrating because im going to be way to old !!!!! i wish i had realized earlier on what i wanted

    Great montage, you did an awesome job!

  • this is the best traing cnter

  • wow.. thats how i feel

  • poor girls

  • pretty much all true in this video it says it all i was in gymnastics for a year and was level 4 already then i quit for another year and they out me in level 5! so im level 5 and im 12 now but that is how we do the stuff thats why i quit cuz summer hrs r sooo long i couldnt take it anymore! we only go for 3 and a half hrs now but still along time not compared to 12 hrs!!!

  • abnormal -.-

  • whats the documentary at 3:00 and can i see a full copy of it anywhere?

  • Are you talking about the footage of the little girl. That comes from 'The Romanian Dream'. Or were you talking about the footage of Nadia?

  • yeh i have seen the romanian dream great doco... nah i meant the footage at 2:36, the text on the footage says "the same way trainers treat monkeys in a circus.." did this footage come from a doco??? tanks..

  • Me and a lot of gymnasts work hard and thank you for making this vid to show ppl how hard most gymnasts work

    I am 9 years old and going to be my first year in lvl 10

  • Your 9 years old and about to be a level 10? That's incredible.

  • Don't be fooled. GymnastsTears is really 18.

  • nastia became an ELITE at 12, and so did some of her teammates. most amazing gymnasts started basically as soon as the learned to walk. i've been doing gymnastics for 4 years and i'd only be a level 6.

  • hey were did you get the videos of melanie sinclair? at 1:30...?

  • I kno right! I luv Mel a lot and I was like "Where did this come from? Never seen that before." Awesome vid by the way!

  • i am a gymnast and i am not good but i do know ppl who do this long work and i am glad this video shows wot they go through

  • What gutsy little girls they are! Just look at those amazing upside down wallbar sit ups at 1.05. It's commando training stuff!

  • i am happy that people get how hard we work i am ten years old an i am in level 9.

  • Finally Someone Gets what we do....I train 6 days a week andywhere from 3-7 hours a day...Thats just at the gym..Excluding work i do at home..

  • are you an elite?

  • Nope, not yet anywase! Working on it though!!

  • gymnastics is hard but i had to quit it was either gymnastics or what i loved HORSES.

  • oh that gave me chills! thanks!

  • That was osm....i loved it!

  • I love your videos, KaraKarateka! Good work!

  • i wish every one would see this montage in the world.that way they wouldnt think gym is a sissy sport!

  • Good work!

  • I train 30+ hours a week .. and everything shown here is exactly what it can be like at times - but not always .. but like you said - its for a dream, which makes it all worth it in the end.

  • Are you an international, Turnerbug? You must be GOOD with all that training! What's your fave event?

  • I'm not international yet .. but I'll be testing for it in the Fall of this year. My favourite event is beam.

  • I love this. It is such a beautiful montage. What competition is Natalia Shaposhnikova crying in?

  • If she is wearing a white leotard (I kinda habe a brain fart right now) it was the 1980 Olympics

  • Thank-you! Do you know why? Did she fall???

  • Actually, I don't know, but she probably fell or messed up.

  • OMg, and my sister takes normal provincial training and says its hard, compared to this....

  • great video, now I feel like I can never skip conditioning again!

  • very nicely made.

  • So beauty, is simple, and perfect.
