It was where I learned the basic history of gymnastics. I used to watch it over and over again! It's made its way onto youtube now and I thought I'd share the links for anyone who was interested in watching.

One I've always loved..

"True sport is always a duel, a duel with nature, with one’s own fear, with one’s own fatigue.
It is a duel in which the body and mind are strengthened."[b] - Yevgeny Yevtushenko]]> Gymnastics Online Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:56:13 GMT http://gymcrazy.forumotion.com/gymnastics-online-f7/inspiring-ideas-t13.htm#25 http://gymcrazy.forumotion.com/gymnastics-online-f7/inspiring-ideas-t13.htm http://gymcrazy.forumotion.com/gymnastics-news-f6/nastia-liukin-on-the-jay-leno-show-t8.htm raineydaze Nastia Liukin was on the Jay Leno show last night! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMwUbRB9-5o Also, just as a note to the Admin/Mods, it might be helpful to have a Video/Picture forum where we could share videos and pictures of interest.
