Gymnastics: Around the World

In celebration of the sport of Gymnastics, I present the Global Gymnastics Project's montage honoring the sport around the planet. Special thanks goes to all of the amazing photographers, athletes, contributors, and supporters on six continents who gave us a glimpse into their lives as gymnasts.

"Somewhere behind the coaches who pushed you,
The parents who encouraged you,
And the teammates who cheered for you,
Is an awestruck child who fell in love with the sport.
Play for that long-lost child
And no one else." --Anonymous

I loved it but would have been better if u had Singapore in it.

Great job

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

I would have loved to feature Singapore (a beautiful country), but no one sent me a photograph from there...all of the pictures in this video were from gymnasts, fans, and coaches around the world who sent me their photographs from their personal vacations, holidays, or hometown photos.  At some point in 2013, we will be creating a Part II, so if you have some Singapore photographs, please save them and send them along to us! We'd love to have them! :)

Thank you! :) I'm so happy that you (and many of our online friends) around the world were able to send pictures. It's because of all of you that this video was made! <3

Well done!!! I didn't submit a photo because I wasn't sure which pose I could afford! I can't hold a handstand as well yet and I don't have my split! :P Should do it again!! I'll definitely submit one the next time!
