Do you ever see a gymnast without other gymnasts?


Anyone can pick out a gymnast in public...usually short, stocky and with many other of the same looking girls. Gymnasts seem to travel in groups whether its to a gymnastics meet, school or even the bathroom there aren’t very many lone gymnasts wondering around the streets. It is also very odd to see gymnasts with anyone else whom is much taller than them, gymnasts like to feel empowered and they are not able to do that if they are with a bunch of tall thin girls who don’t “flip around” more than half their lives. These groups are seen doing cartwheels and somersaults at random times and places.

If they are not working out or practicing gymnasts are usually not hanging around the malls or getting into trouble, gymnasts are smart determined organized people who like everything to be just right. So in these groups you will may think you see just a bunch of giggling girls but in fact they are deeply thinking through their next gymnastics event, this sport consumes their entire life making it impossible to have a social life. Usually a gymnast’s true friends are the ones they meet in practice because there aren’t many who can find free time to find other friends. Thus gymnasts are ALWAYS with other gymnasts not matter what they do or where they go.
