Short film of the some of the US women's gymnastics team training at Yale University. Joan Moore, Kim Chace, Roxanne Pierce, Cathy Rigby, Debbie Hill, and a few others.
Can you imagine working out for 8 hours a day for a minimum of ten years, going to school, studying, special diets, choreographers, coaches, specialized coaches, traveling, expenses, expenses expenses for 10 years? Not to even mention the medical care and costs in an ATTEMPT in making a national squad, an Olympic team, qualifying for an event final and the almost impossible all around position to compete for a medal? Not every single child is born with a predisposition to that kind of life or lifestyle. Be care when you put your dreams possibly into a child’s mind when they may or may not be an athletically gifted child. No training can make that happen if they are not genetically suited for it.

Gymnasts were so much healthier looking back then as in having meat to their bodies & not be a complete stick..
