GYMNASTICS

OLYMPIC EVENTS
Gymnastics is a good sport it just like
ballet. Tiey both have pointed toes you
wan’t strong legs in both you wear
leotards in both. And the Olympics is
probably the hardest thing to do in
gymnastics like can you imagine in front
of judges. And in front of millions of people
your stomach would probably be turning.
VAULT
There is a variety of tricks on Vault each
Vault is evaluated to standards of
difficulty some of the moves on vault
are. A hand stand flat back is where you
spring off the spring board into a hand
stand then fall flat on your back another
move is called a dive roll. A dive roll is
where you dive off the spring board then
when your hands touch the mat do a
roll. Vault has been in the Olympics
since 1952 in the Olympics you would
always want a fast pace when you are
getting ready for the spring board. You
also wan’t strong arms you also want to
be a high level otherwise you wont do
good trick’s that will give you points like
if you’re level 3 I would see hand stand
flat backs , forward rolls , and fail flips .
The Vault was originally a pommel horse
with handles then the handles got

THIS IS A PICTURE OF A GYMNASTICS
VAULT
removed. The womens and the mens
vault was the same a spring board
infront of a pommel horse but then, it
changed the fig changed.The womens
vault in 2001 from a pommel horse to a
widened with a curved front side. For
the gymnasts safty, the womens vault is
placed sideways instead of length
ways .
BARS
I would always do the parallel bars
because they help your upper body
strength and the uneven parallel bars
help your arm muscles the high bar /
horizontal bar also helps your arm
muscles to do bars you always want
strong hand muscles and strong arm
