Women's Artistic Gymnastics

Women's Artistic Gymnastics use four different pieces of apparatus.

Vault - The Vault should have a very powerful and fast run up which enables the gymnast to perform a high and long vault which will include one or more rotations and finishes with a controlled landing.
Uneven Bars - In a bar routine, the gymnast will perform swinging and continuous movements which include movements in both directions, above and below the bar, twists and somersaults and an acrobatic dismount to land.
Beam - The beam is seen to be one of the hardest pieces of apparatus to master as the width of the beam is only 10cm. During the routine they need to perform acrobatic elements, leaps, jumps and turns whilst demonstrating elegance, flexibility, rhythm and balance.
Floor - During a floor exercise the gymnast will include movements that show strength, flexibility and balance and combine moves such as somersaults, twists and leaps which is performed to music.
