flexibility of rythmic gymnastics

[SpiderAbu]

The only bad thing is the fact that they are all flat!

[ForeverDancing1624]

you couldve picked some more interesting music to add effects and emotions to the video. good video, but borning music..

[nospam2012]

who is the girl at the end?

[hohohohappyholidays]

my friend is only 11 and she can already do all those things.

and she is very skinny

[LoveRhythmicGym]

what´s this song?

great montage!

[FrozenThorns]

Wow! It's amazing how flexible they are! Contortionism is beautiful.

But they're so skinny! It's so sad to see that in sports like these, and gymnastics and ballet, most of the time the girls are anorexic. :( They don't need to be.

[sugarplum245]

ur sooo rite

[Starlight697]

ok u need a serious reality check. "MOST OF THE TIME THE GIRLS ARE ANOREXIC?????" ok if gymnasts were anorexic "most of the time" then they would all die. You need to eat in order to have the energy to do gymnastics. Only a very few amount of gymnasts and dancers become anorexic. "most of the time" they are very healthy.

[crackwhip]

The healthiest by far ive heard ! - There is such a thing as lean muscle mass -

[clonruxi]

ooo, Ncie

!

[DancerellaGirl]

how is this "comfirm your birth date"?

[nicolexcheer]

yes, most of them are. irina kasakova, alina kabaeva, lyasan utyasehva, irina chascina, zirina gasakova, and i even think irina tchanicha! this is a great montage. and srry if i am wrong about all the rhythmics. it looks like all of those gymnasts, though. :)

[sporknfoon2]

r they foreign??

[exohitzcrysta4]

the girl from 6:44 till the end is sooo flexible! man and some of these girls are way tooo skinny, not saying all of them are, because im skinny too, but there tall and skinny im kinda short and skinny, well 5'3" isnt that shorts, nvm!

[hollyRGfan]

That's Irina Kazakova...

[sporknfoon2]

yea...they need to put on a lil weight..but not too much

but that was amazin..WOW

and u ppl leave sum long comments..

[fhnfynfhyfh]

love it

[symmetric88]

these girls are amasing! i thort i was flexiblie bt theses girls knock it out of the park congrats.

[nicw]

i did this sport and now i'm 20 and i have quit and i must admit that occasionally i do feel like i have to stretch beyond what you would normally do in a day otherwise my hips especially hurt and its almost like they ache and most days i have to stretch and do the splits, leg extensions etc. don't know if this is just me or other former gymnasts too

[geeterman98]

some of the long term affects,i did martial arts for years and everything is fine,until you quit doing it,now my joints are shot,knees,shoulders,hips knees,my back hurts alot too,altho i can still stretch out and be normal ,it takes forever. if you've seen an old movie called north dallas forty,you'll know the scene where nick nolte gets out of bed, and it takes him an hour to put everything back where it belongs before he can walk

[allardfleischl]

to those of you who have commented on the thinness of the girls here i agree that you dont see people that thin all the time but with the amount of training that takes place to be this incredibly good you can hardly expect them to be anything other then extremely thin. Im not a gymnast but i can understand this as i am a ballerina and there are many sililar concepts involved.

[helainamj]

wow this is actually inspiring

[sharafantu72010]

wow thats so amazing i love gymnastic

[emmapajama]

rythmic gymnasts make me think of spiders.

dont know why.

[sheshe120]

i love rhythmic gymnastics, i did it when i was little but cheerleading rocks my world now

[miszchanel0994]

omg this just makes wanna cry.. its cool and all but its looks like it hurts.lol alot. i can't watch this anmore

[BadassPlaya16]

That shit be gross nukka

[pikhienko]

i've been training for 12 years now and i have to say these girls are motivation for me to start training mylittle sisters

[destiny2909]

It's interesting and impressive. But I can't help but think that nothing good long-term can come from contorting your body like that.

[lollypoplove101]

its great you had young ppl do it

[turningkeys]

I think you did a very nice job of putting this video together. the girls look like they do because of all stretching and training they do. They also are picked because of their natural build.

[L1VE2DANCE]

Something a lot of people don't realize is that these girls not only have to be flexible, but they must also be very strong and muscular. For many of them, their bodies are naturaly skinny and long. They don't reach this level of athletisism in a few months, it takes years of daily training to become a top competitor.

[Erikaa2006]

It's contortion, it's not gymnastic. It's very scary, they'are skinny and it's not natural. I can't look at that and I don't think it's beautifull.

(english it's not my language)

[pinkkank]

it is beautiful

[scotti167]

they aren't going to die of anorexia, none of them starve themself. well most of them dont. if they do they shouldnt.

[synchrohobbit]

Soooo...these girls die from anorexia when they are like twenty? I just want to feeeed them! Also, it's tagged as inappropriate because it is so viscerally disturbing.

[Arabianluver2006]

I used to do Rythmics, But this is just creepy. Ya it is cool, but still i love it!

[SHESxMYxHERO]

Yeah um they are a little too skinny...but they look wicked cool doing the tricks :]

[royalkid13]

her arms are just too skinny O_o

[cvetochka]

WHYS IT FLAGGED?!

[amelioaaa]

just proves that nothing is impossible

[ijuzmovewell]

I think R gym has lots of grace. to be able to do tricks and carry of a dance at the same time, i'll call that grace already.

[ralucagymnast]

The girl who is featured most, and who is at the end is Irina Kazakova, theres lots of vids on here of her. To be honest, I feel that rhythmic gymnastics now leans too much on contortion, and not enough on grace.

[neverwannalose]

OMIGOSH

[soraya1988]

Wow... How on earth can someone become só flexible?? And I really don't understand why this is flagged as inappropriate!!

[MaryQueenOfChance]

i didn't even know humans could be that flexy. whoever said that someone in that vid reminded them of their litle cousin - well, only if your cousin is in the olimpycs team/// otherwise i have no idea where you're coming from

[oblique1187]

my favorite part is 1:23!

[WushuSundari]

Me too!

[gaylover007]

ohhhhhhhhhh my, i feel nausious now

[karleyhansen]

[lara1410]

this looks very unhealthy!

[snipnflip]

its the healthiest a person will ever be

[robert40]

Someone flagged this video because they suck at gymnastics.

[pinkkank]

whoever flaggged it is really slack

i thnk somebody has the jealousy bug lol

[Philbisregin]

Crazy stuff, although I don't know why this video was flagged...maybe someone doesn't like to watch the Olympics?

[rainb0wg3mz]

They are incredible!

[samanbe]

beautyfull!
