Artistic Gymnastics

 

Gymnastics (from the Greek world "gymnos" meaning "naked art") involves the performance of sequences of movements incorporating six distinct disciplines: artistic, rhythmic, trampoline, aerobic, acrobatic and general.

The first three disciplines are included in Olympic Games and Asian Games programmes.

Gymnastics requires a high level of flexibility, agility, strength and rhythm, as competitors bravely perform set moves on the floor or in the air.
