A montage about the sad stories in gymnastics. I cannot even imagine the pain of training your whole life for a dream then having it taken away.Footage includes Julissa Gomez, Christy Henrich and Yelena Mukhina, whose stories are perhaps the greatest examples of tragedy in gymnastics. Also included is Sang Lan, who is a very inspiring amd courageous woman. She has managed to keep a positive outlook on life and do many great things. She hopes to be one of the final torchbearers at next year's Beijing Olympic Games.The other gymnasts I chose becasue they were perhaps the best examples of gymnasts forced to retire in their prime, or before their career even really began. I also included those who never lived up to expectations, those supposed to be the next big thing who were then forced to watch their dreams slip away in the spotlight. REST IN PEACE: Julissa GomezChristy Henrich Yelena MukhinaAlexandra Huci The song is 'Bittersweet Symphony' by the Verve.

i think people have to understand that yes, it is a sad montage, but it is the reality of gymnastics. and only the people who are willing to handle the reality of it will make it far!

This is all just child abuse - boys and girlsTrain little kids 6-12 hours a day from the age of 4 years old. At the age of 6, 8 10 etc. these kids DO NOT choose to prcatice that much everyday because they want to. The greedy parents are failing these children.If you did that to a dog you would be thrown in jail for animal cruelty.

wow! Its sad to know and see that these can happen but I think we all expect the possible dangerous when perfecting techinques. The only thing I can say is that the feeling being able to go to such extremes will be a happier life lived than many who do not try or get the chance even if ended premature.

Yes, I agree with the other user's comment, a very sad (melancholy) way of looking at things, but I have to say I see some things in life the same way. There's something attractive emotionally about tragedy. Not that you wish ill will upon someone, but sometimes just the experience of feeling sad can be equivalent to an experience of being happy - sometimes even better.Anyways, a beautifully made video! Your intent comes across quite clear.
