Gymnasts need strength, flexibility and endurance - just for starters! Then endless practice of drills leading to those clever moves you see on the apparatus. A few 'fails'! All of this is here. Videos are in the centre section of this post.  

Proibably the best sport there is for developing a tough muscular body while retaining flexibility. Add balance, and you're ready to rumble! Let us know (comment) whether you prefer video clips, ordinary pictures or a mix in your posts. There will always be more still pix posted than videos though.  

 More on our favourite sport. Before the real stuff, though, a short sequence on how playtime can go wrong on the high bar! I don't have the first section, but you'll get the idea... The lesson is 'don't wear loose shorts on a bar' - I've had that problem if you don't keep clear of the bat when you should!   And, of course, things don't always go as well as they should: Random pics now - some action, some resting... A bit of specific training: Finally, a bit more gymnast fun stuff to finish - and this one doesn't go wrong!
