Gymnastics is a sport where you do handstands, back handsprings, front handsprings, and more. It is a sport with difficult routines that require great skills. In the Olympics there are three different kinds of gymnastics events. Men and women will compete in Artistic Gymnastics and Trampoline and only women compete in Rhythmic Gymnastics. In Artistic Gymnastics men use six pieces of equipment: Floor Exercises, Pommel Horse, Rings, Vault, Parallel Bars and Horizontal Bar. Women use four pieces of equipment: Vault, Uneven Bars, Balance Beam and Floor Exercises. Rhythmic Gymnastics is a combination of dance and gymnastics. The gymnasts use ribbons, a rope, a hoop, a ball, or a club. In trampoline gymnasts do ten different tricks while bouncing on a trampoline. Men’s Artistic Gymnastics first became an Olympic sport in 1896 and Women's Artistic Gymnastics became an Olympic sport in 1928.
