Girls Gymnastic Team Shows Agility ,Perfection is the key word in gym-nastics. Performing on parallel bars, bouncing on trampolines, and iumping horses are only the finished products which the public sees. During the many hours of practice, the girls do stretching exercises and com- pete against themselves. They became stronger and more coordinated while practicing their routines in order to achieve the final goal, self- satisfaction.
