olympic gymnastics

just watched 3 hours of the olympic rhythmic gymnastics, performing using hoops and then balls, wow! these girls are so talented, elegant graceful yet incredibly strong.  left feeling inspired (& very jealous of their oh so easy oversplits!)  never seen these apparatus used in this way before, absolutley brilliant, cant imagine the training needed to have so much control and skill as these girls do. know some of you do hooping on here aswell, definately harder than it looks - i cant even do one spin with a hoop! truly amazing and definately worth a watch, think the next one is going to be with clubs & ribbons, cant wait to see that too!
