For years it was my dream to photograph gymnastics from the floor. I managed that for the last two years, and last week I was fortunate enough to be one of the contracted photographers at the South African Gymnastics Games, held near Cape Town. I spent 62 hours behind the camera over 6 days and took over 8000 pictures.

Artistic Gymnastics is an incredible sport, the grace of the girls, the shear strength of the men, and the agility of them all is a form of art where the human body is the sculpture! These are only a few of my better images taken during the week. These, and thousands more, can be viewed and purchased from Action Replay, official photographers at the event.
