Watching a Japanese Olympic gymnast perform on the rings in the 1972 Olympic Games is what inspired me to get into gymnastics and so begin this incredible physical odessey that has been the last 36 years of my life.You can also see how it could destroy one's shoulders. Its all a give and take.
"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

WOW! What amazing control! They make it look so easy. Skinny legs though. ;-)
Hey, I resemble that remark! LOL. Gymnasts HAVE to have skinny legs or else they couldnt do gymnastics. anatomy is destiny.
man I can't beleive how much I would have loved having access to these videos back when I was doing gymnastics. all we had was 8 mm sequence photos of the routine of themonth as the centerfold for Modern Gymnast magazine. I dissected every frame of each routine each month. having slo mo digital video access would have been insane!
