Women’s Artistic Gymnastics

Women’s Artistic Gymnastics is all about combining power with grace. From the explosive vault to the uneven bars, female gymnasts compete across four events, performing intricate routines with leaps, flips, and spins. Whether they’re tumbling across the floor or flipping on the balance beam, these athletes showcase incredible strength, agility, and poise.

Apparatus

Vault: Gymnasts run down a runway and spring off a vault table, executing flips and twists before landing.

Uneven Bars: Gymnasts swing, release, and re-grab the uneven bars in a display of grace and power.

Balance Beam: This 10 cm wide beam requires gymnasts to balance, flip, and jump with precision.

Floor Exercise: Performed on a sprung floor, gymnasts deliver a captivating routine blending tumbling, choreography, and expression, all perfectly synchronized to music.
