It was 5:20 pm. My 3 yr. old son was just waiting to go out for playing with his all little friends. I could see his restlessness but I told him to wait for another half an hour.

This was his routine to go out in the evening, and we appreciated it. Children must go out in open air and open places to play during the evenings. That is a good physical exercise and also good for their social interaction. They make new friends, talk to them, share their thoughts, play with them, and it's good for their development. 

In fact, we wanted that we introduce him to different sports and try to know which sport he thinks is more interesting and that he would like to play so that we can think about some sports academy, where he can start taking training from an early age. That would be great.

All sports are good and I thoroughly have enjoyed watching all sports, since my childhood. And have enjoyed playing many games, but just in our colony and school ground. But we as parents want that our son should take at least one sport sincerely, practice it and Excel in that. 

My favorite sport has been Gymnastics. especially watching it during the Olympic Games and admiring all those Gymnasts. How flexible their body is and how quickly they move their legs and hands and jump with such ease. Just like watching them standing on their toes. 

Many girls are good Gymnasts at their small age, and I think this is one of the sports that require lots of maintenance of physic. Food habits, rigorous training, that too from good coaches. Mostly there have been many famous female Gymnasts. Even males are also into these sports. 


Sometimes there are two or more Gymnasts in a team. A mother and daughter duo, brother - sister or two sisters or even couples as one team. And it's so awesome to watch them. Sometimes the way they act and do different things, that is unbelievable and so mesmerizing to watch them.

Their Sports - wears are also so wonderful and because they are fit and flexible, that attire look beautiful on them.

It is not just God's gift but there is a lot of hard work, dedication, concentration they put into their training since a very early age. Dipa Karmarkar is one such wonder from India. Soviet Union, USA, Russia, Hungary, Romania, Ukraine, and many such big and small countries have produced the finest Gymnasts. 

Gabby Douglas from the United States, Yelena Shushunova, the Soviet Union, Shannon Miller again from the United States, Polina Astakhova of the Soviet Union, Simona Amanat from Romania. Svetlana Khorkina of Russia and many such famous names and best Rankers of these sports are medalist at various international sports competitions and at Olympics.

This sport doesn't require any instruments except the Poles at different heights, and the balancing act that they do. Their talent is just amazing and unmatched. So good to watch them. So much inspiring and admired to see them showing different acts on poles and on their ground.
