Watch this: The 2012 Europeans as an action flick

You've got to see this -- the French Gymnastics Federation, so adept at putting together interesting promo vids for its events, has really outdone itself this time. 

Their trailer for the 2012 European Men's Championships, which will take place in Montpellier, France May 21-27, is structured like the trailer for an action movie, complete with gymnasts having to find "the four elements" (water, grips, honey and chalk) in order to attain their only objective: victory.

It's all very dramatic and kind of hilarious because it's so serious. But it also achieves another objective: getting you excited for the 2012 Europeans.
