"The mind is
perhaps one of the greatest factors in gymnastics; if one can't
control his mind, he can't control his body." William Meade (USA), International Gymnastics: Art or Sport?
"Gymnastics
is a
sport involving the
performance of sequences of movements requiring physical strength,
flexibility, and kinesthetic awareness, such as
handsprings,
handstands, forward
rolls, aerials and tucks. It developed from beauty practices and fitness
used by the ancient
Greeks, including skills
for mounting and dismounting a horse, and circus performance skills. In
ancient times the term implied exercise taken in the nude by men in a
gymnasium, a venue for
intellectual and physical education".Source:
