But thats the perception of it in america.
It seems like a sport american gays could really get behind and dominate if they wanted too.
Gymnastics is a hard sports period for anyone. It will forever be a hard sport. Its a reason there are so few elite gymnast because its literally so many factors fighting against you.
1. It's an expensive sport. (you will not get the proper training if you don't join a private gymnastics club)
2. If you don't start competive gymnastics at 5 or 6, you can forget it. The learning curve will be to high.
3. It gets mentally hard once you hit 12 years and up. ( you become mentally aware you're doing dangerous shyt. a lot of kids start to develope fear of throwing new skills needed to progress.)
4. Detailed sport that's about form. ( you maybe strong but your form is week. You may have form but you're not strong enough)
5. Time consuming. No one wants to go to practice 4 times a week after school and beat your body up. The higher you progress the more time spent in the gym.
6. Very hard judging. You can Literally get deductions for the smallest shyt.
7. Also an Injury prone sport. You can't be afraid to fall practicing new skills because it going to happen. Rips are a common thing.
