This Adidas commercial was release in 2004 featuring Nadia Comaneci and Nastia Liukin. I always find it beautiful to watch.

Make It Or Break It
Jan 28th
Make It Or Break It has been airing in the USA since autumn / winter last year. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a show based on gymnastics centering around Elite gymnasts Kaylie, Emily, Lauren and Payson. IMDB describes MIOBI as: “Follows a group of teen Olympic hopefuls as they train and prepare for their day in the spotlight”. MIOBI is full of gymnastics action, tears, tantrums, injuries and teenage drama and I love it!
It’s great to have a show based on our beloved sport. There was a huge surge of interest in gymnastics here when “Stick It” was released. Gym girls were watching it with friends who then wanted to be able to do moves like the gymnasts in the film, so they joined gymnastics. Obviously, gymnastics is a huge sport in America, not so much here , so it’s great that there is a program about the sport.
I’ve been lucky enough to get the full episodes to watch but the teenagers in gymnastics haven’t. Living outside America, means that we cannot watch the full episodes on the ABC website. The girls have been attempting to watch the show on YouTube but they can’t view the last (crucial) 8 minutes, they try to watch it on TvShack and SurfTheChannel and often they can’t watch the full episode. I must admit that I download the torrents, so that’s how I can watch the full episodes but I’m in a bit of a pickle, I would love to give the girls the episodes but keeping in line with the Codes of Conduct, it’s not really the correct thing for me to do, especially because of some of the content.
Does anyone know an easy way for those outside the US to watch them, easily and in full, without hassle?
