wow. it just looks amazing how these girls do the splits with such ease. how do you do the splits? i'm about six inches from the ground.

all the girls are sssoo skinny!!

maybe I should do dis I am really flexible

Alina is very kind :))))))

Yes, it's a 100% possible to start at any age and you can still get flexibility!

actually, hooby,i think that leg flexibility is easier to get than back flexibility, butit really depends on your age, because the younger you are,the softer your back is, and for older girls,usually leg flex. is a bit easier to get.But you can definitely do it.I just started a year, at 13, and i'm going to compete in level 8 and I've got oversplits and i can pull my leg straight (in the back) so it is totally possible! Just don't give up! (and don't forget hot showers to relieve soreness!)^^

this looks nasty and they look so nastily wimpy, i bet they cant even do one squat

nice video. i am making some aswell. just on artistic gym though. :)

Beautiful video and amazing gymnasts!

Go for it, I started recently and I'm 15.
But unless you have done ballet for ages, are naturally flexible and are absolutely dedicated to being a great gymnast, it's pretty unlikely you will ever perform at that elite level - at least that's what I've been told.
Try anyway though, it's great even just for small comps, fitness and flexibility.

Its more artistic gymnasts whose spines are compressed, because of the landings and handstand skills.
I think rhythmic gymnasts will suffer plenty of other joint problems for being streched so acutely, but I think its more likely to be from their restricted diet, which can give osteoperosis. They were fexible to start with or they wouldnt be there!
