Olympic Gymnastics

                                                               
One of the most beautiful sports in the Olympic Games is Gymnastics. There is a tradition in this sport, and countries like Russia, China, USA and Japan are the leaders in nowadays Gymnastics. Many people ignore sports that are ruled by the judges’ opinions. But many times the logic put the things in their places.
The American team has the best female gymnastics and probably they will fight for other Olympic gold medals. Americans won the 2004th and 2008th Olympic all-around titles. Names like Carly Patterson and Nastia Liukin wrote the modern history of gymnastics. The competition inside the US team is very intense. Gabby Douglas and Jordyn Wieber finished just tenths of a point apart in the last gymnastics tournaments. It can push the American team for another victorious Olympic Games.
Russian are preparing for the big rivalry with the US team. Viktoria Komova and Aliya Mustafina have become well-known gymnastics around the world.  The Americans must also pay attention to China`s Yao Jinnan. The London Olympics could be the most difficult for the Americans teams, due to the strong competitors and possible surprises, which happen usually on the big tournaments.
One of the traditionally leaders in the modern Gymnastics, Romania is putting all its faith in the team. Romani won the team titles in the 2000th and 2004th Olympic Games, but failed to achieve something more than bronze medals in Beijing. Today the Romanian team is hit by the retirement of Ana Porgras and Larisa Iordache`s injury.
Many fans ask themselves: ` Can the Chinese team be beaten? ` It seems that China will be again on the top of the men`s gymnastics. The Americans have high-flying high bars, the Japanese have Uchimura, but most of all the Chinese team knows very well how to win titles.
