    I think all gymnasts,Both male and female are very very talented indeed........ Strength, grace, balance, suppleness, elasticity, dedication, 'spacial awareness',timing, rythym and the ability to smile when they are in pain are All Great attributes which they possess...
    They DO what we wish we Could do.........
    The females are particularly feminine,beautifull and sexy Indeed.............. :)
