  1. There's Artistic Gymnastics Men and Women's and Rhythmic gymnastics Men and Woman's

    Artistic the best know gymnastics Men and Woman's in different

    Women's events:

    Vault  

    In the vaulting events gymnasts: sprint down a 25 meter (about 82 feet) runway, jump onto a beatboard (springboard), land momentarily, generally inverted on the hands, on the vaulting horse or vaulting table, then spring off to a two footed landing. It may include one or more multiple saltos or somersaults, and or twisting movements.

    Uneven Bars

    the gymnast navigates two horizontal bars set at different heights. Gymnasts perform swinging, circling, transitional, and release moves  between the two bars.Gymnasts often mount the Uneven Bars using a beatboard (springboard).

    Balance Beam

    The gymnast performs a choreographed routine from 60 to 80 seconds in length consisting of leaps, acrobatic skills, somersaults, turns and dance elements on a padded sprung beam. The event requires in particular, balance, flexibility and strength.

    Floor

    The floor event occurs on a carpeted square. Female gymnasts perform a choreographed exercise 70 to 90 seconds long. The routines of a female gymnast consist of tumbling passes, series of jumps, dance elements, acrobatic skills, and turns. A gymnast usually performs three or four tumbling passes that include three or more skills or "tricks".

    Men's events:

    Pommel Horse  

    A typical pommel horse exercise involves both single leg and double leg work. Single leg skills are generally found in the form of scissors, an element often done on the pommels. Double leg work however, is the main staple of this event. The gymnast swings both legs in a circular motion (clockwise or counterclockwise depending on preference) and performs such skills on all parts of the apparatus. To make the exercise more challenging, gymnasts will often include variations on a typical circling skill by turning (moores and spindles) or by straddling their legs (Flares). Routines end when the gymnast performs a dismount, either by swinging his body over the horse, or landing after a handstand.

    Still Rings  

    The rings are suspended on wire cable off the floor. He must perform a routine demonstrating balance, strength, power, and dynamic motion while preventing the rings themselves from swinging.

    Vault  

    Gymnasts sprint down a runway before hurdling onto a spring board. The body position is maintained while "punching"  the vaulting platform. Multiple twists and somersaults may be added before landing.

    Parallel Bars  

    Men perform on two bars slightly further than a shoulder's width apart  while executing a series of swings, balances, and releases that require great strength and coordination.

    Rhythmic gymnastics is an art in which single competitors or pairs, trios or even more (generally five) manipulate one or two apparatus: rope, hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon, it is the same for both women and men.
