Witness the grace and strength as Nadia Comaneci competes in the prestigious "Champions All" Gymnastics Competition. Inspired by the Horse of Selene from the Parthenon, these athletes defy gravity with their awe-inspiring routines. From the early days of exercise classes like The Women's League of Health & Beauty in 1938 to backyard carnivals in the 1800s, it has captivated audiences for centuries. Even law enforcement gets involved, as Met Police cadets showcase their skills with a dazzling display. At The Gymnasium - Royal Naval College in Dartmouth, Devon, future naval officers train rigorously to master this demanding sport.
