Keatings tears ACL

See press release by British Gymnastics here.

Oh No! This will be a big blow for Great Britain, and I was really looking forward to see how he backed up his all-around silver medal at worlds last year.

Rhythmic Gymnastics Improves Bone Density

An interesting study was done that shows that Rhythmic Gymnastics can improve bone density which can reduce the risk of bone fracture in later life.

See the article here: http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2010-05/tes-gti050310.php

I wonder if Arstistic Gymnastics has the same benefit. My guess is that it would, since the article mentions that it is the weight bearing exercisea that produce the benefit.
