Words that rhyme with Gymnastics
From a sound-design view, gymnastics is a plain-speech anchor on the short /ɪ/, three-syllable, and it spills into a fricative. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. From the rhyme-data side: strict matches don't survive the classifier, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, and the slant-vowel column carries the page on its own. From the lyric side, it works as a low-register anchor. Modern lyric writing on this word lives almost entirely in the assonance pool.

Why gymnastics rhymes the way it does
The phonology of gymnastics is a three-syllable core: the clipped /ɪ/ (/ɪ/), then it trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 3 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 92, assonance 6,635, and consonance 14. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Gymnastics is a word that benefits from the second pass.
