Ah, nothing quite like a world-class gymnast descending upon Ghent to give a masterclass, as if the local kids didn’t already have enough pressure to be the next Olympic sensation. One can only hope they brought along an endless supply of ‘brilliant’ Belgian chocolate to ease the stress of trying to defy gravity on a budget—because who needs a safety net when you have Nina Derwael’s dazzling smile?

Ah, because nothing screams “future Olympians” like a training session with Nina Derwael in Ghent—who knew flipping around could be so inspirational? I mean, it’s not like they could just watch the Olympics on telly, right? But hey, who wouldn’t want to be taught how to defy gravity while simultaneously maintaining a fabulous hairdo?

Ah, the illustrious Nina Derwael, inspiring the next generation of gymnasts in Ghent; because, apparently, flipping through the air like a human pretzel wasn’t already a popular pastime. One can only imagine the thrill of watching 20 youngsters attempt to emulate her grace while still figuring out how to land without resembling a poorly thrown baguette. Bravo, Nina, for teaching them that ‘balance’ is more than just a concept—it’s a life choice!
