Walvis Bay Gymnastics, Namibia
I visited the tourist town of Walvis Bay, Namibia to see 200,000 flamingos and gymnasts.
The club is impressive to look at. MAG, WAG, Rhythmic, Trampoline & Tumbling.
Unfortunately this facility must be set-up and taken-down each day. 😦
Walvis Bay Gymnastics Club is run by Vesko and Roumi Kostin from Bulgaria.

watching Gymnastics with non-gymnasts
GymCastic:

Dorkly has the most fabulous, nerdtastic, humor-filled comics. This one just had to be adapted for gymnastics. So, Ms. Spanny Tampson worked her magic. If you are watching gymnastics with one of these seven characters this weekend, we sympathize. …

Teams arrive African Champs
I flew in with Team Namibia.
Quite surprised with the media blitz at the airport, the girls took turns getting their photos taken. 🙂
Some were interviewed for the official YouTube channel.

Practice jumping or pressing to this position against the wall.
