Gymnastics Reality TV – Italy

Have you heard of this?

MTV News: ‘Gymnasts: Parallel Lives‘, is a new series starting October 17th, the story of seven young Italian athletes

… emotional sporting adolescents (aged 14 to 20 years) who live, study and train in the Federal Center of Artistic Gymnastics in Milan, in view of the World Championships in Tokyo in October 2011 and the Olympics London in 2012.

Girls grappling with the relentless pace of athletic training, the pressure of international competition, discipline and daily sacrifices. Not only that, there are also the first flirting and love troubles, school concerns, changes in growth and body changes, shocks due to isolation from their families, friendships and rivalries with teammates. …

MTV (in Italian)

It sounds like Make It or Break It … with REAL gymnasts.
