Gymnastics is a sport involving the performance of exercises requiring physical strength, flexibility, agility, coordination, and balance. Gymnasts can compete with other gymnasts to see who can do their tricks are better. Usually the winner gets a trophy, ribbon, or a medal. Gymnastics is an Olympic sport .you get scores in gymnastics by having a judge of course judge you. they start out with a start

value, which is normally a ten, and deduct from there. they deduct you like if you have bent knees you would lose three tenths and then would have a score of 9.7. you would probably get more deductions as you go and end up with like an eight. the highest score i ever got was a 9.9 because i flexed one foot which took away one tenth. do you understand if i still didnt explain good enough ask your coach or ask anone whose in gymnastics.:p bye ohh wait and also if you dont make any mistakes you would get a perfect ten. which is AMAZING!!!!!!!!

Artistic gymnastics
Artistic gymnastics is usually divided into Men's and Women's Gymnastics. Typically men compete on six events: Floor Exercise, Pommel Horse, Still Rings, Vault, Parallel Bars, and High Bar, while women compete on four: Vault, Uneven Bars, Balance Beam, and Floor Exercise. In some countries, women at one time competed on the rings, high bar, and parallel bars (for example, in the 1950s in the USSR). Though routines performed on each event may be short, they are physically exhausting and push the gymnast's strength, flexibility, endurance and awareness to the limit.

Rhythmic gymnastics
Only women compete in rhythmic gymnastics although there is a new version of this discipline for men being pioneered in Japan (see Men's rhythmic gymnastics). This is a sport that combines elements of ballet, gymnastics, dance, and apparatus manipulation. The sport involves the performance of five separate routines with the use of five apparatusball, ribbon, hoop, clubs, ropeon a floor area, with a much greater emphasis on the aesthetic rather than the acrobatic. There are also group routines consisting of 5 gymnasts and 5 apparatuses of their choice.

Trampolining and tumbling


Trampolining and tumbling consists of four events, individual and synchronized trampoline, double [citation needed] mini trampoline, and tumbling (also known as power tumbling or rod floor ).

Acrobatic gymnastics
Acrobatic gymnastics (formerly Sport Acrobatics), often referred to as "Acro" if involved with the sport, acrobatic sports or simply sports acro, is a group gymnastic discipline for both men and women. Acrobats in groups of two, three and four perform routines with the heads, hands and feet of their partners. They may, subject to regulations (e.g. no lyrics), pick their own music.

Aerobic gymnastics
Aerobic gymnastics (formally Sport Aerobics) involves the performance of routines by individuals, pairs, trios or groups up to 6 people, emphasizing strength, flexibility, and aerobic fitness rather than acrobatic or balance skills. Routines are performed for all individuals on a 7x7m floor and also for 1214 and 1517 trios and mixed pairs.
