Just out of curiosity, were there any gymnasts who had like, really long torsos or really short legs or something who are or were very successful and beautiful to watch? _________________ "What gives me confidence is the fact that everyone gets insecure" - Andrew Garfield |

I would also like to see some gymnasts with long torsos. I feel so short (even though I'm not; my legs are still long) surrounded by all the 'gymnasts bodies'. _________________ My youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/xxJodelleFerlandxx?feature=mhee

I wouldn't say 'bad' bodies because that's quite harsh - maybe another word? |

I would be very interested to see this too as I myself have totally the "wrong" body for RG, I'm tiny with short legs xD There's a girl on the British AG team who doesn't look like an AG gymnast at all, she has really long legs _________________ Bring on the wall!

I really think that there is no successful gymnast with no perfect body.
And the ones who aren't that successful or successful in general, they are like me...short legs with a lot of muscles, which don't become less, no matter what I do... _________________ "You've got to make a decision: Are you going to go down with the situation, or are you going to focus and succeed?

Maybe Weber? She has those huge leg muscles. She's almost built more like a figure skater.
Or Filanovsky; she's so tiny. But aside from her height, she has the perfect body. _________________ My youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/xxJodelleFerlandxx?feature=mhee

I wonder how the Ukranians keep their gymnast so long and thin. They NEVER have weight problems. Or they never send them internationally if they are over weight. I mean When you look at kabaeva...kanaeva...garaeva...they all gained weight fairly quickly and there was a noticable change with their bodies. But when u look at the Ukranians..or even the belarussians..they pretty much stay the same size..just grow longer. |

But everyone's weight fluctuates when they grow; I'm naturally very slim, but even I gained a little weight right before I grew about six inches in less than a year. Everyone does; figure skaters complain about it all the time. They're still human. _________________ My youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/xxJodelleFerlandxx?feature=mhee

But these girls are very active. I have a natural rhythmic gymnasts body (hate to sound like I'm tooting my horn) (that may also be why I got injured a lot in soccer) and I stayed that way even when I was inactive due to injury for a few months.
I went to college (and you know how everyone talks about the freshman 15 ) I ate less healthily a gained about 8 pounds of course but when I came home I went back to my normal weight. I literally wiegh the same amount and look the same as I did 4 years ago.
Not to sound over obsessed I just don't like it when people assume that a very thin person diets a lot. _________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBZtHAVvslQ |
