There are a range of sports on offer for athletes at high school. From basketball, to soccer, cheerleading, and more. There is something for everyone. A particularly good sport for flexibility is gymnastics, something that is often not seen as a tradtional team sport.

These gymnasts from Ibara High School in Okinawa, Japan, showed they could move in perfect harmony, and were so impressive they won the championship.

The style of gymnastics that this team compete in is rhythmic. This usually means that the team will use props such as ribbons and hoops, but this all-male team decided that they would do it without any aids. They wore striking black, form-fitting costumes, with a colorful yellow and purple design across the chest.

The 6-strong team took to the stage, and held their starting positions, ready to perform what would end up being the routine that won them the entire competition. It also led some of the gymnasts to go on to join university teams in the sport, reports Stripes Okinawa.

The music they performed to was slow and gentle, and fitted their routine perfectly. They started off in time with the music, and gradually built up to flawless backflips and stunning tricks. Their flexibility and smooth transitions were a dream to see.

A number of their moves were inspired by cheerleading, and some incorporated characteristics of traditional ballet. They also added a few lifting stunts – these are always a winner with the crowd!

The audience were mesmerized by the team. This wasn't hard as they were all exceptionally talented and didn't miss a single step or lose count once. This was undoubtedly a winning performance. It is impossible not to appreciate the dedication and hours of practice that went into this routine. Their families, friends, and coaching staff would have been so proud to see the team represent the school in such an amazing way and to see their hard work pay off.
