Rhythmic gymnasts have so much flexibility, it amazes me. They literally, stretch like a rubber band and that is so amazing, in my opinion.

You don't have to be a rhythmic gymnast to have extreme flexibility. However I certianly agree rhythmic gymnasts are very flexible. I only did rhythmics for a year. It was not what I was interested in, but I got alot of dance, and leap work out of it, so it proved useful. I did artistic gymnastics for 5.5 years, when I was younger, and I had nothing less then extreme flexibility. I have been out of the sport for 6 years now, and certianly I have lost some of my flexibility, but I can drop right down in the splitz, with no pain on my right leg, and little on my left, more for straddle.
