Headless Acrobatics

This gymnast performs her routine so seamlessly that she appears to be headless! Though we have to know that before they hit the mat, they engage in a series of unique preparations to ensure peak performance. Besides the essential stretches and warm-ups, gymnasts apply chalk liberally to their hands and feet to enhance grip and prevent slips.

Why chalk? It absorbs moisture from sweat, drastically reducing the risk of slipping off apparatus like bars and beams. This simple yet critical step is as much a part of gymnastics as the flips themselves. It’s about preparing to soar safely and spectacularly, even if that means looking headless in some photos!
