  Thanks Josh. I’ve not known many gymnasts to go into Olympic lifting. But for years we had lifters training at our Gym club.

And add climbing!! After having on and off knee problems I love to play with chalk in the climbing gym. Mostly bouldering. I would recommend this to every retired or injured gymnast!

Don’t forget aerial skiing, they are pretty much all former gymnasts. I’ve also known a few gymnasts to go into water skiing and wakeboarding and do pretty well. And pretty much anything which requires good core/upper body strength gymnasts will have a significant advantage at.
