Olympics is just around the corner, gymnastic, rhythmic gymnastics, diving and equestrian are some of my favourite sports to watch.

Rhythmic gymnastic is a combination of ballet, gymnastic and theatrical dance. There are hoops, balls, clubs, rope and ribbon as their prop. I’m sure most girls fancy this sport as it makes the gymnast looks elegant and you can see the hard work they had put through. This is definitely my 1st choice.

Gymnastic, the modern form of gymnastics typically involves exercises on uneven bars, balance beam, floor exercise, and vault (for women), and high bar and parallel bars, still rings, floor exercise, vault, and pommel horse (for men). It evolved from exercises used by the ancient Greeks, including skills for mounting and dismounting a horse, and circus performance skills.

Uneven bars (one of my favourite)

Look at the height, isn’t it scary?. But this is what makes diving interesting, with all the flips and somersault. I was told that when they dive in the water with the least splash or no splash at all that would be a good dive.

Nothing says class other than Equestrian jumping. Equestrianism refers to the skill of riding or driving horses. I like to see when the horse start to jump over the bars.

I hope these few explanation helps you to understand what the sport is about. For more information you can visit Summer Olympics 2008.

Till next time…
