This week is ‘Gymnastics Week’!! (I decided).
An avalanche of images of gymnastics, acrobatics, tumbling and all the training and hard work that goes into it. The best sport in the world. That opening image shows everything that’s great: strength, power, endurance, skill and determination – it’s all about your body and what you can do with it.
Each post this week will feature gymnasts and acrobats of all ages, in training, in performance, and sometimes just having fun! Unlke normal blog posts, all this week’s pictures will also be transferred to the GYMNASTICS GALLERY #2 or HANDSTAND CENTRAL GALLERY #2 as appropriate and, of course, there’s loads more on our favourite topic in other pages on this site as well as in the archived blog posts. And don’t forget the dedicated young sportsmen we also feature at THE YOUNGER GENERATION.
We continue here with that all-essential joint warm-up and leg stretch…
