But when several praised the young gymnast, other people expressed issues about the quantity of coaching that would have made such flexibility doable.
Although this is impressive, one has to think about her age. If she had been to continue to have her body’s ligaments, tendon’s, muscle tissues and even bones disarticulating to bend in such unnatural techniques, she will no doubt have arthritic modifications in her bones by the time she is 20.

Don’t get me incorrect, i entirely applaud her commitment, discipline, dedication & flexibility, and its excellent to see kids undertaking one thing other than playing on the x-box…but if she continues at this level of intensity she will have complications in later life. Sorry ????
