If Olga Korbut Can Do It, Maybe You Can, Too!
A young gymnast works out on the balance beam. A spot'ter stands close by. A spotter is
someone who stands in a special place so he can protect the performer in case of a fall.
BOYS ~
<=~I~
Girls and boys have flipped over gymnastics ever since the Russian schoolgirl,
Olga Korbut, won the hearts of so many
television viewers when she competed in
the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany.
Although Olga made the stunts look
simple, they are dangerous. If you take up
gymnastics, you must be carefully taught
and learn the procedures step by step.
Most experts feel that you must wait
until you are 11 or 12 years old before
going into this sport in a really big way.
However, there are many exercises you
can practice before then.
Gymnastics builds physical fitness and
is a relaxing sport you can enjoy. Success
in it can give you confidence.
To be good at gymnastics you should:
Have a good coach.
Practice and be determined to succeed.
Be well coordinated and have strong muscles.
Be brave enough to try new tricks.
Be the right size. Your size determines what
stunts you can do best.
When you are young, you will probably do
Rings
....---------t simple, beginner stunts on equipment your
coach picks for you. You can also do stunts on
the trampoline and ropes. When you get older,
and if you compete, you can perform on other
equipment designed specially for men and
