Gymnastics is an
activity involving performance of exercises requiring physical strength, flexibility, agility, coordination, balance, and grace. Internationally, all of the gymnastic sports are governed by the
Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG) with each country having its own national governing body affiliated to FIG. Competitive
Artistic gymnastics is the best known of the gymnastic sports. It typically involves the women's events of
uneven parallel bars,
balance beam,
floor exercise, and
vault. Men's events include
floor exercise,
pommel horse,
still rings,
vault,
parallel bars, and
high bar. Gymnastics evolved from exercises used by the ancient
Greeks, that included skills for mounting and dismounting a horse, and from circus performance skills.
