Why are people so fascinated by gymnasts? Why do people love to watch gymnastics on TV? What is it about Olympic Gymnasts that we idol and why do we forever want them on our Wheaties Cereal Boxes? Are we awe stuck by their agility and power to weight ratios, as they do things that we can only dream of doing.

Are we stuck in admiration for their superior physique? Are we simply blown away in knowing that it takes years of training and dedication to perform at those levels? What is it about Gymnastic Champions; Why do we love them all so much?

Perhaps we love gymnasts and value their skills for all these reasons? Although some might actually be jealous of all their talents and agility; after all Americans are getting fatter than ever before and most of them cannot make it onto a horse or over a small fence.

While these gymnasts fly thru the air like Superman at a single pound. Of course for all those who envy or are jealous of them, there are ten times that many who admire gymnasts, their perseverance and commitment to train years on end to be able to perform at those incredible limits of the human agility. Consider all this in 2006.
