When you think of gymnastics, you may picture young women doing daring
flips on the 4-inch-wide beam, or men doing incredible feats of strength on
the rings. But those images actually represent only two of the seven
commonly-defined types of gymnastics. Surprised? Here are all seven:
Women's Artistic Gymnastics
Women's artistic gymnastics has the most participants and is generally the
most well-known of the types of gymnastics. It's also one of the first tickets
to sell out at the Olympic Games.
This is the second most popular type in the United States, and the oldest
form of gymnastics.
The Events: Men compete on six apparatus: floor exercise, pommel horse,
still rings, vault, parallel bars and horizontal bar (usually called high bar).
Rhythmic Gymnastics
Gymnasts perform jumps, tosses, leaps and other moves with different
types of apparatus. This is currently a female-only sport in the Olympics.
The Events: Athletes compete with five different types of apparatus: rope,
hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon. Floor exercise is also an event in the lower
levels of competition.
Rhythmic
Trampoline
Tumbling
Acrobatic

• Jambatan
• Split

• Cartwheel
• Headstand
• Handstand
A split is one of those moves that is really easy for some people and much harder
for others. Even if you’re as tight as can be, though, you’ll still be able to master it
if you work hard at your stretching.
A great way to get (or improve) your split is to move through a series of different
stretches, from simple to advanced. If you are a beginner, you’ll probably want to
master the easier stretches first before moving on to full split stretches.
Be sure to do each stretch on both sides – you’ll want a good split on both your
right leg and your left leg in order to be a great gymnast.
Learning how to do a handstand is one of the most important steps to becoming a
good gymnast. Sooner or later, you'll be doing a handstand on just about every
event, and learning a solid one will help you improve quickly in the sport.
When you feel ready, attempt your handstand without using the wall. You
may want to have a spotter to help you balance. The spotter should hold
your legs once you kick up.
In your first attempts, you might be a little nervous that you will kick too
hard and go right over the top. A spotter should be able to prevent this from
happening, but you will want to learn some good ways to come out of your
handstand when you don’t have a spotter:
Roll out: Bend your arms, tuck your head under (chin to your chest),
and do a forward roll out of your handstand.
Pirouette: Twist your shoulders and walk one hand around. Your body
will make a quarter turn, and you will be able to step down without going
over the top. Though this method seems more complicated, most
gymnasts prefer it once they learn it
When you are successfully doing a handstand on your own, have someone
take a look at your body position. Is your body straight like a pencil? The
tighter you are, the easier it will be for you to hold a handstand.
While they're looking, ask them to take a picture of you -- after all, you're
doing a handstand!
BACKFLIP
A back flip is considered a basic skill in gymnastics, but only because it is a building
block to many other skills. It's not a simple move to learn, but once you do, you've
achieved one of the big milestones of becoming a good gymnast.
Please make sure both you and your coach feel that you’re ready to learn a back
tuck. It's not a skill that should be attempted by a beginner gymnast, and it should
never be tried on your own without a coach present.
A back tuck is much more than jumping in the air and tucking your legs up.
In order to rotate, you’ll have to lift your hips up and over your head. Try
this drill to help you get the feel for the right kind of tuck up:
Lie on the floor, with your body fully stretched out. Your arms should
be straight and by your ears.
Tuck your legs up and over your head, as shown. Be sure to rotate
your hips up, not simply tuck your knees to your chest. Keep your knees
together and your toes pointed.
The take-off of a back flip is called the "set" or "lift." To successfully
complete a back tuck, you'll need to learn how to set the right way. This set
drill can be used with a spotter (as shown) or onto a stack of high mats:
Start standing up, with your back to the mat or spotter and your arms
by your ears.
Swing your arms down and behind you, while bending your knees.
Swing your arms back up and jump as high as you can. Keep your
head neutral – looking straight ahead. Your jump should go upward and
slightly backward, onto the mat or the spotter. Your arms should stay
straight.
If your gymnastics club has a trampoline, this is usually the best place to
first attempt a back tuck. The trampoline will give you the height you need
so you can concentrate on your technique.
A spotting belt is an easy way to get started. Your coach will help pull you
into the air and keep you high enough until you complete the flip.
Other coaches prefer to spot by hand. You and your coach will both start on
the trampoline, and s/he will guide you through the flip.
Technique Hints:
Remember the drills you did: Be sure to jump hard and swing your
arms all the way up to your ears while rotating your hips up over your
head.
Try to keep your head as neutral as possible, without looking backward
until you begin to flip.
Talk to your coach about arm technique. S/he may prefer for you to
grab your knees during the tuck, or may advise to keep your arms
overhead or down by your legs without grabbing. Each of these methods
works.
Once you begin flipping, look for the trampoline. When you can spot it,
it’s time to start thinking about your landing.
Land with your knees bent slightly and your hips tucked under you.
Once you can successfully complete a back tuck on trampoline, your coach will
decide it’s time to move to the floor. S/he will spot you until you both feel
comfortable with your ability to complete the flip. Remember to follow the right
technique, and you’ll be able to learn the skill much faster.
Vault is one of two events in artistic gymnastics that both men and women
perform. (The other is the floor exercise). It's an explosive, exciting event,
with very little margin for error. Though a vault is over in a matter of
seconds, it has equal weight to the other events in which a gymnast
competes.
All gymnasts vault over a piece of apparatus called the table, a slightly-
inclined, metal piece of equipment with a padded and springy cover.
For men it is set at a height of 4 feet 5 inches (135 cm), while for women it
is at a height of 4 feet 3 inches (125 cm).
Types of Vaults:
Vaults are divided into five different groups, called families. The most
common families performed are the front handspring style, the 1/4 turn in
pre-flight (Tsukahara), and the round-off entry (often ca
In 2001, the vaulting horse was officially changed to this vaulting "table." Both men
and women compete on it in the same manner; it no longer is turned lengthwise for
men and widthwise for women.
Gymnastics officials, coaches and athletes have praised the new table because it
allows the gymnast more space to place his or her hands, making it significantly
safer than the old apparatus.
4. The Post-Flight
This is the most exciting part of the vault. The gymnast has pushed off
the table and is now in the air, usually performing flips and twists
before she lands.
What to Watch: Both height and distance are judged, as well as form
such as pointed toes and tight-together legs.
5. The Landing
The gymnast makes contact with the ground at the completion of the
vault.
What to Watch: The ultimate goal of every gymnast is to stick the
landing -- to land without moving her feet. It's also important that the
gymnast land between specific boundaries in line with the table. These
are marked on the mat.
There are five pieces of equipment used in rhythmic gymnastics. Every two
years, the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) designates four of the
apparatus to be used, and the other to be set aside for that time period.
Each event is performed on a floor mat measuring about 42.5 feet by 42.5
feet. It is not the same as the floor exercise mat used in artistic gymnastics
– it doesn’t have the same amount of spring or padding to it. This is at the
request of rhythmic gymnasts, because it is much easier to perform the
skills required on a floor without spring and padding.

The hoop is made of wood or plastic, and is 31-35 inches in its interior
diameter.
What to Watch: Rolls, high tosses and catches of the hoop, spins, and
passes through and over the hoop will all be executed by the gymnast.
Ball
The ball is made from rubber or synthetic material and is 7-7.8 inches in
diameter. Very bright-colored balls are not allowed, and the only pattern
permitted on the ball is a geometric one.
What to Watch: The athletes will perform body waves, throws and catches,
balances, and bouncing and rolling of the ball.

which was still published in 1859 in its ninth edition. This modification of
the bars was not really established in the following time, not at all as a
specific feminine apparatus, since the equal participation of women was not
possible for a long time due to social circumstances. There were women
doing gymnastics around the turn of the century in the German Gymnastics
League, but the real upturn started after World War II only.
The asymmetrical adjusting of the bars was introduced at the first World Championships for women in 1934 in Budapest.....
After World War II, at the World Championships in 1950 in Basel, the uneven bars were still not fully accepted, since the women could (for the last time) choose
between the uneven bars and the swinging rings. The Austrian Kolar and the Swedish Petterson were the first World Champions to be entered in the history book of
gymnastics.
In Western Germany the public interest decreased, not only concerning the uneven bars but generally the
international development of women’s gymnastics. Inconsistent with that were the innovations of German
apparatus-developers such as Richard Reuther and Rudolf Spieth, who created useful constructions of
stayed double horizontal bars already at the beginning of the 1950ies (German Gymnastics Celebrations,
1953). But it was only in 1965 when perfectly stayed double horizontal bars with struts at all the four posts were

1952:
Synchron, just for fun
The first world performance took place at the V. Gymnaestrada in Vienna, which caused enthusiasm on the side of the gymnasts. The Technical committee of
the World Gymnastics Federation released the apparatus short time later for the Universiade in Budapest.
Even if the uneven bars had initiated a new era in the training practice and were applied for a patent in 1966, they were not employed at the World Championships
in Dortmund. When the exercise of the German-American Doris Fuchs-Brause met the revolutionary opportunities of the new apparatus with nonstop swinging,
flying and bar-changing there was whistling and booing in the audience for minutes-with their scores the judges had not fully appreciated this “new” and dynamic
way of gymnastics…
One year later, however, at the European Championships in the Dutch capital Amsterdam, the new double horizontal bars of women’s gymnastics could be
employed for the first time. Vera Caslavska (CSR) became European Champion; in Ljubljana in 1970, the German (GDR) Karin Janz became the first World
Champion at this modern apparatus, which was in constant technical development in the following years.
Due to the integration of two fiberglass cords, patented since the mid-1960ies, no single bar-break occurred at the Olympic Games in Munich in 1972!

Three months before this highlight of the year already, J&F, as a partner of
the Vlaamse Turnliga VTL, supplies the new gymnastics center right behind
the World Championships gym in Ghent, which is the biggest gymnastics
center in the Benelux states. At the World Championships these highly
modern facilities -evidently with most modern uneven bars as well- will be
used as official warming-up gym before the performances of the top-
gymnasts in the competition arena in the “Topsporthal Vlanderen”.

1934 the balance beam was part of the world championships in Budapest for the first time. That was also the first time actual
women's international championships took place.
The beam was only 8 cm wide. Nowadays, this discipline is not only a demonstration of feeling for balance but also of acrobatic of
highest difficulty in the artistic area.
This apparatus is rather lately used in competitive gymnastics. As apparatus for balancing, however, it is actually as old as later body
exercises. Already Johan Christoph GutsMuths (1759 - 1839) dedicated one chapter to balancing in his pioneering work
"Gymnastics for the Youth". His beam was a "horizontal laying, totally round pine tree trunk... of about a length of 64 feet (ca. 20
meters!). The posts wearing the trunk were of that kind that the height can be changed."
Friedrich Ludwig Jahn (1778 - 1852) takes GutsMuths' balancing on the round beam over in his "Deutsche Turnkunst" (German Art
of Gymnastics, 1816), but being a declared enemy against foreign words he calls it "Schweben" (floating):
1814: Gymnastics on Jahn's "Schwebebaum"
"Schweben means being in balance: in rest as well as in action". Jahns "Schwebebaum" is "a slim, straight-grown and smooth resinous
pinewood or fir tree trunk; the longer, the better, and not good under a length of 40 feet and a diameter of 10 inches at the end of the
trunk. It rests between to pairs of strong posts on bolts of iron which can be put high or low". Jahn did not attach great importance to
perfect stability of the apparatus, on the contrary: "It must not sway too much, not too little, but it must have the proper life" (The
German Art of Gymnastics, 1816).
Later on this (low) balance beam was taken over into school's physical education by German followers of Ling's system, (Hugo
Rothstein; first director of the Prussian Central Institution of Gymnastics in Berlin), even though Rothstein lost influence because of
the "quarrel about bars" in 1863. Gymnastics pioneers Spieß (1810 - 1858) and Kloß (1818 - 1881) thought highly of this low
balance beam as apparatus for girls' gymnastics.
Still the long Swedish bench with its as balance beam constructed lower part is part of the basic equipment of school gyms. The
balance beam became an apparatus used all over the world.
As competition apparatus this low and narrow balance beam was never used.
When the German female gymnasts carried out their first national championships in Leibzig in 1921, there was gymnastics on high
bar, parallel bars and vault, but no gymnastics on beam.
There was no change until 1934. Then, balance beam was integrated in the programme of the world championships in Budapest - the
first women's world championships in history. There the beam - which was still known as "Schwebekante" - was only 8 cm wide, so
that it was a remarkable feat of Hungarian Gabi Muzaros who mastered a split on this narrow edge. The Italian 14-year-old Elda
Lividino stood far out of the competition field with her 9,55 points and led a new way of rhythmic art of gymnastics with her
compulsory routine.
From now onwards balance beam became a standard apparatus in women's international competitive gymnastics. The
routines tended to include an increasing number of acrobatic elements. As a consequence the wish for firmer foothold grew
permanently stronger to enable gymnasts to perform more difficult leaps and rolls.
Thus, it is not surprising that the beam's surface was widened from 8
to 10 cm. Its sides were slightly rounded so that the middle of the
beam measured 13 cm in diameter.
Now, a perfect stability of the apparatus was necessary.
The balance beam was not supposed "to vibrate on the stands during
usage" as it says in the little Book of Norms "Measures, Regulations
and Forms", edition 1965, page 30.
The stability of the 5 m long beam had to be ensured as well as a certain elasticity that is described in this regulation: "At a height
of 1200 mm and with a testing load of 135 kg in the middle of the beam it is ought to bend a maximum of 8 mm" (Book of Norms,
edition 1965, page 31). Such precise regulations highly guaranteed uniformity for international competitions; everywhere in the world
the balance beam secured equal opportunities which is one of the basic laws of any fair competition in Olympic artistic gymnastics.
The acrobatic coined gymnastics on beam challenged designing engineers as well as people responsible of the International
Federation of Gymnastics.
In the Sixties it was mainly the then president of FIG, Artur Ganthe, who demanded in the "supplementations..." to the Book of
Norms a purpose orientated design (especially in consideration of the new and more difficult kinds of moves), better stability and
transportability, and in the interest of safety enough mats on the free space beneath the beam.
The tendency of performing acrobatic elements on beam started with the courageous deed of
Leibzig's Erika Zuchold and her coach Ellen Berger at the latest: Zuchold being the first
woman in the world to perform a back flip on beam (1964).
The technical consequence following these demands were already put into practise at this
time: There were four instead of only two stands as underconstruction (Book of Norms 1965),
two of them were installed at the beam's ends; the two inner ones in a distance of only 75 cm
to the end to increase stability to a maximum.
When somersaults and free handsprings on beam became increasingly standard, improvements of the beam had to follow as it
is stated in this demand, for instance: "The beam must have an elastic overlay... In spite of a certain elasticity it has to ensure a safe
footstand and good balance. The sheath must be tearproof as well as grippy and firmly fixed to the beam" (Book of Norms by FIG).
It is commendable that the beam's width of 10 cm was not changed despite the progress in acrobatics with risky somersaults and
handsprings.
In 1974 only "safety of footstand" was mentioned, but in 1979 this safety is defined more precisely: Then it says: "...To prevent
injuries after falls the surface must be designed to give in at least 5 mm at the maximum loading capacity at the point of load incl.
edges". The risk of injury is explicitly mentioned: "The ends must be padded to prevent injuries.

Participants are both male and female, and must be at least 18 years old by the
end of the Olympic year in order to compete.
The Competition
There is an individual competition for women and for men, with a gold, silver, and
bronze awarded in each competition.
Equipment
Athletes use only the trampoline – a metal frame surrounding a nylon spring bed.
The trampoline is 3 ft. 9 in. off of the floor, with mats on both sides in case the
gymnast comes off the trampoline. The trampoline is 16 ft. 6 in. long, and 9 ft. 6
in. wide.
Though the scores from the preliminary round don’t carry over, the competition
order in the final round is based on preliminary round rankings. The top-ranked
athlete in preliminaries has the advantage of going last in finals.
The top three scores from the final round receive the gold, silver, and bronze
medals
The trampoline scoring system is pretty complex – but you can enjoy being
a spectator without knowing every single rule. Here are the basics.
Scoring
For the execution mark, five judges each score the routine. The highest and
lowest marks are thrown out, and the three middle scores are added to the
“A” score to total the final mark. Therefore, execution is weighed more
heavily than difficulty in the final score.
Good Form and Execution: In all positions, the feet and legs should
be together, and the toes should be pointed. The body should be in one of
three positions at all times: tucked (knees bent), piked (legs are straight
and hip angle is less than 135 degrees), or straight (legs are straight and
the angle of the hips is greater than 135 degrees). Arms should be
straight and close to the body as much as possible.
The Right Ending: The gymnast must end his/her 10-skill routine
with both feet on the trampoline, standing upright. S/he must stand
upright and in control for three seconds or a deduction is incurred.
