Elite Gymnastics Training- Health Project

[jukodebu]

if its so hard- then quit and stop crying

[Jenivera]

holy shit that bar was covered with blood! what the fuck is with some coaches!! or is it the gymnasts that push themselves to far?

[slavefeet57]

This being said Gymnastics is one of the hardest sports to do... you have to practice it every chance you get, Not doing so is a very good way to get injured... As far as the blisters go... Try power cleaning 260 pounds a few times and see how much chalk you run through

[slavefeet57]

I can say this because I have done Several sports in my life I started soccer when i was young went to football at 12 Still do football tried baseball but got into the sport to late and couldn't pick it up, I run track, I do weightlifting, And i do competitive coed cheer leading All of these take a lot of commitment and time and like every sport you can't "just show up on game day and win" "it's not won on Fridays, But on the Saturdays and weekdays you spend out in the spring, working to win"

[slavefeet57]

... most of these girls who are being pushed to the brutal extremes are in foreign countries and thats the way they make a living through gymnastics and other finesse sports like ice skating. But like any sport, whether it be football baseball soccer cheer leading gymnastics WHATEVER... You have to start young and practice if your not going to practice or train i won't say you won't be good... But you won't beat someone who puts there heart and soul into a sport...

[commamomma]

everybody makes gymnastics seem like a terrible sport, but really, it is awesome! yes, sometimes it is hard but you get throught it! conditioning is just part of it. and pain. some gymnasts cry, and thats okay. but they always get over it and try harder.

[sexiigurll123]

that Chellsie Memmel eats fruit for dinner doesn't mean every girl does that.. there are healty girls also, who eat normal!

[njin72]

@sexiigurll123 honestly that seems like the kind of diet an athlete should have, no? lots of fruit and meat for protein. i mean what kind of answer was the guy expecting? "since i exercise so much i can eat whatever i want .. in fact i'm going out for pizza and beer later" LOL

[xoxogossiplauren]

what are the girls names who are at 1.05 in the orange leotards? they are being interviewed and talk about how many days they spend in the gym

[Am3cA]

I dance and I do gymnastics, and I love them both... Dance is not so physically demanding as gymnastics I must say, but there's a huge difference between them, you don't train with the same goals, u don't even train the same parts of your boddy in the same positions, they're quite differente, on ballet you do everything soundless, looking weightless, making it look easy en pointe or demi pointe, on gymnastics you try to make every one think what you're doing is the hardest think some one can do

[selenagpaton]

Where did you get the footage with Dominique Moceanu, Jennifer Sey and Chellsie Memmel?

[srtliam]

@ 1:06- Hitler's Favorites.

[megifyer]

amazing

so true

I can relate

[letterstoacheater]

people who prefer dance will say that dance is harder, people that prefer gymnastics will say that gym is harder. just accept other people's views and move on.

[nataliegiraffe]

where did you get the footage from the jennifer sey interview?

[TheGlasgowGirl]

This is horrible to see what those young girls have to do. Its not natural!!!!!!!!!

[enta3omry293]

have you every played sports in your life ...have you ever tried to train hard..they are trying and that's not natural to become the the best in my sports ...it's not easy to reach their level

[frizzCarlo]

si quieres llegar a la cima mundial, tienes que praticar tan duro!

si no practicas asi, puedes olvidarlo!

[gymnast11221]

these guys are amazing

[dancer2bff7]

3:30 Well then she doesn't think hard ballet is exatlly the samee

[tasticpanda]

@dancer2bff7

noo gymnastics is way different..

[tasticpanda]

@dancer2bff7 noo gymnastics is way different..and way harder

[born2act135]

@dancer2bff7

haha thats funny. i did ballet for 11 years and im a competitive gymnast as well and as much as ballet is hard, it cant compare to how hard gymnastics is.

[deviin96]

@born2act135 thank you! SOMEONE who understands! yes ballet is very difficult but gymnastics... it takes so much out of you. i was 9 when i was placed in level 7. my gym decided for me to skip levels 5 and 6. all my team mates were 14 or older. when i was on beam, and doing a backhand-spring, i tore my rotator cuff from landing on it. i havnt gone back since. its been 5 years, and i still have to deal with the pain of it. and even though gymnastics ruined my life, i would kill to go back.

[cristinax329]

@deviin96 did you quite cause the injury ended your gymnastics carrer or you were to scared to come back?

[enta3omry293]

don't say that man...gymnastics makes you better and you were the best but you had this accident because its your destiny and if you didn't go to train that day you would might have a car accident or slip on the stairs or might have died ...I want to tell you its your Destiny and thank GOD for that and be thankful for the rest of your life because you might be worse...be strong man and I'm sure that you are very talented in many other things beside Gymnastics

[danseur2]

@dancer2bff7 I agree with you completely. People are aware of the challenges of gymnastics but people are not aware of the challenges of Dance. You do start extremely young in dance and you are at times told out right that you are fat and will not succeed as you are told in gymnastics. Often dancers are even ridiculed saying "dance isn't hard" when just like in gymnastics injuries are overlooked to keep dreams alive.

[lalagoaway12345]

@danseur2 hav u even ever tried gymnastics?

[jesstar05]

At some gyms they refuse to teach you if you havn't eaten properly! exspecially the elite. Its sad how gymnastics ALWAYS gets a bad name.... choose the right gym and its not always the same.

[GymnasticBreaks]

Makes me sad to see them training like this although I know that you have to push harder at younger ages in this sport than almost any other it is still difficult to watch these young girls crying.

[JENxALI]

i really like this :) andd im soo glad my coach do look as mean as some of those!

[ElviBee]

While this clip shows some of the more extreme aspects of gymnastics training, it failed to show the positive effects as well or even the majority of gymnasts (myself include) who stayed at level 10 and under and enjoyed gymnastics because of passion. Not all gymnasts are sent to live in a Chinese gym once they turn like 5 to become olympic gymnasts. This video is too one sided for my taste.

[DiamondCheerleader08]

this is AMAZING! what did grade did u get?

[123brex]

i am happy i am not chinese becasue theylook like they are worked the hardest sometimes.

[shawnjohnsonlover12]

At 3:24 was that blood?

[im0so0hot]

@shawnjohnsonlover12 Ya I think so...

[katiejonas102wicked]

@shawnjohnsonlover12 yea...it was blood...her hands ripped and she was bleeding.

[shawnjohnsonlover12]

At 3:24 was that blood?

[gymnast857]

@mek11222 its no pain go gain. js. and thats ur gym, some of us dont have the chance to have an plympian or national champion to be our coach.

[Dinrochulo]

If you do rythmic gymnastics you will have to do more flexible things. But, regular, artistic gymnastics doesn't demand you to do things like what was seen in this video. I hope this helps you. I have been doing gymnastics since I was two and I absolutely love it, now that I have been doing it for ten years.

[mek11222]

Gymnastics is hard. but no pain no game when you mussels hurt thats when you push them to get stronger and in my gym you can't be scared if you cry because your scared your off the team. and when you coach was a national champion they say it's nothing compared to what they did and you understand them better because you know they went through the pain to but also hey know all the tricks so if you cheat your off the team too

[jenniffir]

people always forget one point when making these montages; emotions this is a direct quote from my coach " smile, don't show them how much it hurts, make it look easy". Gee i just love my coach some times.

[Godisen007]

This is why I do parkour instead.. We train what we want, nobody telling us what to do, or when to stop :)

[utubekula]

Is it this hard to become a gymnast..??? Really stunning and amazing..

[jimnastix123]

@utubekula yeah it is this hard... but its allllllll worth it.

[iowagymnast5568]

you should of stayed with the slow music...i was really pretty!! ( the song)

[jace52]

ITS BLOOD!! okay thats whats gymnastics is..

[gymgirl123489]

great video

[flip4gold]

it was blood...thats why they showed her hands after, and you could see all the rips and blisters on them

[AmyMcintyrex3]

we train  to be the best , to get some were , :) . and if we dont , we cross thart bring wen it comes :)

[tatulover2120]

the part with jennifer sey,where's that video?

[nateXearthworld8]

i dont think dats blood on the bar becuz if it was i would prob. scream...lol .....

[barsrox]

no its probably blood. when gymnasts rip (get blisters) they dont usually stop to tape it they just keep going, bleeding or not!

[Megzer1992]

@xoxogossiplauren

no it's blood, my hands always end up bleeding on the bars like that.

[piemate08]

at 0:53 thats called conditioning. that has to happen in gymnastics

[tafstar156]

[Am3cA]
