Having been around the gymnastics circuit for years, I've had the privilege of witnessing some of the most talented and stunning female gymnasts at events from the Olympic Games to World Championships, and there is absolutely no shortage of amazingly hot female gymnasts.
When our team at TotalShape tried to come up with a list of the hottest gymnasts, we ended up in heated discussions trying to focus on balance beam vs. artistic gymnastics.
As we weren't getting anywhere close to agreeing on a list, we pulled in our readers and subscribers and asked for help on social media.
The result was thousands of votes, and after a few weeks of counting, we have a final list to share with you.

Once I got over the fear of running into the table I just kind of relaxed and now it's like autopilot. I love it."
