"I love gymnastics because I can do things that ordinary boys can't!" Recently, a lad who had just mastered swing to handstand on the parallel bars said that to me. I think that sums up gymnastics: build not only self confidence and pride, but muscle, strength, flexibility and endurance more successfully than in most other sports - training the body with a  purpose .  So, another salute to the 'men's artistic' branch of gymnastics today, with both performance and training on show. And the younger they start, the better!  

"Sweat not screens" is the order of the day if you want physical fitness and a healthy sporting lifestyle. Today's sportsmen, and the upcoming generation (mainly in the videos today, posted by proud parents) we love to support, certainly know the score (and we're not talking about the World Cup)!! A bit of action from the older 'kids' now, to finish off the post!    

Towels being put to good use but leaving most of the physique available to be admired and to inspire.
