Gymnastics
Gymnastics, which originated in ancient Greece as an Olympic game, is a competitive sport for men and women involving the performance of exercises, some of which require the use of various apparatus. The gymnastics events for men include rings, vaulting, floor exercise, horizontal bar, parallel bars, side horse, and combined exercises. The gymnastics events for women include vaulting, balance beam, uneven parallel bars, floor exercise, rhythmic gymnastics, and combined exercises. The Federation Internationale Gymnastique (FIG) was founded in 1881 to govern international competitions and today gymnastics are one of the most popular Olympic events.
