Rhythmic

Involves floor routines containing leaps and jumps. A women's sport currently, gymnasts incorporate an object into their routine: rope, ribbon, clubs, hoop, or ball.

Aerobic

High-intensity movements to fast-paced music. Performed in teams/trios/individuals.

Acrobatic

Performing in teams. The team holds and balances each other, sometimes throwing and catching a member.

Trampoline

Involves flipping and twisting in the air while jumping on a trampoline.​

Not really interested in gymanstics myself but I just love this because she's just having so much fun.
Can't believe some people actually tried to body shame her being too thick to be a gymnast.

They got too used to her body when she was an elite gymnast, it commonly happens when gymnasts drop from elite to college.

Also artistic gymnastics is what's popular in the US, but I want to show a video of acrobatic gymnastics, which is just incredible. Plus I love this because they do the front walkover to your knee that I always had in my routine and I havent ever seen anyone else do it
On a different note though the ginger girl from Belarus has one of the most beautiful toe points ive seen, thats one thing I felt the belgian girl was a little less good at.

yeah I remember watching an interview from her where she talked about experiencing bullying from coaches and people which is one of the reasons she left elite gymnastics. I'm glad she joined a collegiate team cause you can really tell how much she loves the sport

The strength, coordination, and synchronization they all have is amazing

I always follow gymnastics when olympic games are on. Too bad it's not equally exposed as other sports throughout the year.
