When most people think of incredible athletes, oftentimes major sports like football, basketball, baseball, etc. come to mind. But perhaps a sport that should get more attention in this regard is gymnastics.
To be a successful gymnast, a person must possess athleticism, strength, balance, poise, discipline, concentration, competitiveness and more — all of the traits of a top-level athlete and then some.
In all honestly, when you think about what they have to do in their training and their routines, gymnasts are among the most impressive athletes in the world.
The No. 15 Michigan State gymnastics team recently competed in a hard-fought loss against No. 16 Iowa. The Hawkeyes narrowly out-dueled the Spartans by a final score of 196.475-196.350.
Loved switching up our green for pink this weekend!
