Yes, you are still a virgin. You are until you have sexual intercourse or insert anything inside your vagina that breaks your hymen. Even if you would brake it with gymnastics, it doesn't mean you lost your virginity.

generally it is understood that hymen breakes in first intercouse, so they say hymen is sign of virginity, but it is not the case.A hymen is the thin piece of tissue that partially blocks the entrance to the vagina. It is sometimes called the maidenhead or cherry. It is named after the Greek god of marriage and has no known biological function ...
There is a small opening in it to let blood flow out of the vagina during a period.
Some hymens are elastic enough to permit a penis to enter without tearing, or they tear only partially, and there is NO bleeding at all. When adequately lubricated the vagina is fairly 'flexible' and will stretch without discomfort for most women
Most women are born with a hymen, a thin piece of skin that partially covers the opening of the vagina.
Imperforate Hymen is a condition where the hymen is unusually thick and covers the vaginal entrance completely often making intercourse difficult or impossible without surgery.
HYMEN AND VIRGINITY
This is the mysterious body part that is lost by young girls when they have sexual intercourse for the first time. Few people have ever seen what this fragile object looks like.
A girl who has never had sexual intercourse (a virgin) is supposed to have her hymen intact. In many societies, a girl’s virginity until marriage is considered a great virtue. For a girl who possesses such chastity, getting married becomes easy.
The hymen is a fleshy, thin membrane, which partially closes the mouth (entrance) of the vagina. It has a central opening, which may be rounded or elongated. Usually a finger can be introduced through the opening without breaking the hymen. This opening is necessary in order to let out the menstrual flow from uterus.
Sexual problems, irrespective of the causative factors, frequently cause serious psychological problems such as hostility between the marital partners and even complete breakdown of the marriage itself.
When the girl has sexual intercourse, the hymen is stretched and ruptured by the erect penis. This may be accompanied by some discomfort and bleeding. Apart from sexual intercourse the following also can cause rupture to the hymen:
1. An accident or injury, such as falling astride on a projecting substance, trying to climb over a fence and tripping
2. Sports activities like horse riding, bicycling, playing seesaw, high jump, and hurdles and activities like dancing
3. Masturbation, especially when indulged with a large foreign body like candlestick or vibrator
4. Introduction of instruments by doctors during examination or surgical operation
5. Faulty technique while douching (cleaning) the vagina. The rubber or plastic tube introduced into the vagina to let in the douching solution can lead to hymen rupture.
It now becomes clear to us that a girl with the ruptured hymen is not necessarily unchaste.

Don't worry about the hymen. It's easy to break and often times girls break it at a young age and don't even realize it. It doesn't make you not a virgin. Actual intercourse makes you not a virgin. Don't stress yourself over it because the hymen wasn't meant as a "virgin detector."
