… I know what you’re thinking …
GYMKATA
After all, Maxim magazine ranked Gymkata as 17th “Worst Movie of All Time”.
But you’d be wrong. There’s even a worse gymnastics movie (actually a syndicated TV show / after school special). And it also starred Kurt Thomas.
Click PLAY or watch True Confessions – The Gymnast Part 1 on YouTube.
If you survive the trauma of that horrific fall on a missed straddle-cut on Bars, click through to:
• True Confessions – The Gymnast Part 2
• True Confessions – The Gymnast Part 3
Hmm. Could the writers on Make it or Break It be recycling plot lines from this dreck?
These videos were unearthed by 80sgymfan at wwgym via Fishbulb on the IG Forum.
In 2003 Kurt, a great hero of mine as a gymnast, was inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame. He runs Kurt Thomas Gymnastics Training Center in Frisco, Texas and hosts the Kurt Thomas International Invitational gymnastics meet.

Oh gosh, that FALL was so silly. I could fall like that right now and get up out of it. Hahaha. At least they could have had her fall on her head or something.
