Things you may not know about: Always on top of the world!

Hello again!
I know I didn't write for a very long time, but I had so many things to take care of that I didn't have time to drink coffee in peace. Hopefully I will make it up to you by today's post.

It about one of the oldest sports in the history of mankind. It evolved from exercises that ancient Greek did in their time. Its gracefulness and movement that denies all rules of physics is breath-taking. It is sport for men and women, with some major differences, but also some similarities. It requires agility, power, flexibility,physical strength, control and balance. Some of you have guessed i it by now that I'm talking about gymnastics.

Here is a short description of this sport before I move on to one of the leading countries of this sport.
There are four artistic events for women: vault, floor, uneven bars and balance beam. Men have six events: vault, floor, pommel horse, still rings, high bar and parallel bars. Governing body of competitive gymnastic is International Federation of Gymnastics (IFG). In simpler words, they make gymnastic rules.

The U.S. is one of the leading countries when it comes to success in gymnastic. They have excellent equipment, good coaches and school system that allows you to be dedicated to your sport. At the same time you are able to go to school and to train as hard as you can to. In my country that's impossible. A lot of elite gymnasts were home schooled or went to special school for athletes.

Let's have a brief look at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. This is the year in which American women gymnast team won silver medal. Competitor and U.S. representative Nastia Liukin won all-around gold, and her teammate Shawn Johnson won silver. In the 2012 Olympic Games, American team won gold and justified undoubted fact that they truly are the best in the entire world. Once again, all-around gold was won by an American representative Gabby Douglas.
Here are some videos. I hope you will enjoy.
