Women’s Artistic is a disciplined sport, which requires strength, flexibility, stamina, co-ordination and courage, combined with elegance and artistry.

Female artistic gymnasts compete on vault, bars, beam and floor.

Vault

Each vault is awarded a value according to its difficulty. The height, length and technical accuracy of the vault are of crucial importance together with a controlled landing.

Bars 

Swinging and continuous movements are required on this apparatus. Routines on this apparatus includes movements with turns, different directions, release and re-catch and changes from high bar to low bar and low to high.

Beam

The beam is 5 metres long, 10cm wide and 1.25 metres from the floor. A routine on the beam is an artistic combination of acrobatic elements, gymnastic leaps, jumps and turns.

Floor

The floor exercise is performed on a 12m x 12m sprung floor covered in carpet. The routine is performed to music and combines graceful and artistic dance movements with a variety of tumbling and acrobatic elements
