Gymnast
NEW DOCS
Every four years, the spectacle of women’s Olympic gymnastics entrances sports enthusiasts and couch potatoes alike. But audiences don’t see the ordeals that these young women face as they go for the gold. Following three gymnasts competing for a spot on the 2000 Olympic team, this film is part critique, part celebration of a sport that ruthlessly tests the physical and emotional stamina of young athletes.
