Whether they sailed through the air in an attempt to perform a difficult vault or balanced delicately as they danced on the balance beam, the gymnastists worked with such ease that few spectators ever realized the many hours of hard work that went behind each performance. As the individual girls daftly glided over and around the uneven bars, it was never apparent that they had undergone weeks of bruises and strains to master their particular skill. Even in the free exercise routines, the girls showed only poise and gaility as they moved through the difficult patterns of tumbling and dancing to complete their routines. To the viewer, gymnastics was a sport of beauty; it was graceful and the participants were agile but to the girls who competed in this particular sport, it was many hours of hard work, many feet of tape around strained muscles, and many tubs of cold water for soaking sore muscles. However, it was always worthwhile to the members of the gymnastics team. It was the excitement of individual competition and the fellowship of team participation. 1.
