The biggest gymnastics competition is the Olympics, because all the gymnastic competitions and events are held at the same time of the Olympics so they have put them together as one whole event, including all the other events too like running, hurdles etc.

By The Way (BTW): If you want to get a positive answer please spell COMPETITION correctly! =)

What is a beam floor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Beam & Block system is an alternative method to hollowcore and wide slab floor systems. This method consists of having T beams spanning across the floor area, wall to wall.

The system involves using pre-stressed, inverted "T" beams which are in filled with standard concrete blocks. Beams are produced to give nominal depths from 150mm to 225mm and are placed at 520mm and/or 295mm centres depending on the span and load.

Joints between the beams and blocks are to be grouted after installation and before screeds are placed. Insulation can be laid directly on top of construction. Screed is then poured to give a smooth finish to receive floor covering.

What is a pirouette for gymnastics?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I should know I can do a pirouette! A pirouette is a handstand 180. First, you do a normal handstand, but before you come down you turn one hand 180 degrees, and then the other hand 180 degrees, and when you come down, you should be in the opposite position you were in when you started. If you are a right handed person, in your handstand you will turn you right hand first, then your left. if you are a left handed person, you will turn you left hand first, then your right. It takes ALOT of practice, but I practiced constantly in my gym and at my house and I now am an expert!

Are there springs in a gymnastics floor exercise mat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The floor mat measures 40 feet by 40 feet (with a 1' border) and is usually made of carpeting covering padded foam and springs.

There are two sets of interlocking plywood, with the bottom layer having either Springs (usually 4" coiled) or foam blocks.

However, there aren't always springs in the floor, some gyms have floors made of foam and wood.

Why are men and womens events in gymnastics different?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, the events that are the same are: Floor Exercise, and Vault.

Women do not do the rings or pommel horse because it requires a great deal of strength. Men do not do the Uneven bars because it is hard on their anatomy (having different reproductive parts) to maneuver between bars (high bar and low bar) like the women can. So they stick to the one high bar. Men do not compete on balance beam because a mans sense of balance isn't as good as the females sense of balance. (and it takes more grace to be on the balance beam)

How old is too old to start gymnastics with a possibility of going to the Olympics if you have had prior training?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

well i think 15 is to late because if your 11 12 or younger you get a better start but younger than 11 12 will be much better; 15 is too old to start because about when your 18 you start and 3 years is not enough;

The above would be true for ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS but not so much so for other Gymnastics sports (there are Seven competitive Gymnastic Sports) of which many are NOT Olympic sports. BUTTT.. they are amazing sports, highly contested thru out the world and have a very viable WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS event. List Olympic Sports- Trampoline, Rhythmic, along with the two you know.... Men's and Woman's Artistic. Non-Olympic: Tumble and Trampoline Gymnastics, Acrobatic Gymnastics, Group Gymnastics, Aerobic Gymnastics.

I would Say TnT or Acro would be your best bet if your in the USA to get to a world level if you are older.

What will be the future of gymnastics?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Since the change of the scoring system for elite gymnastics everybody os packing their routines full of skills just to get a higher start value. With all the skills a lot more injuries are happening. If they don't change the scoring system back to a 10.0 start value gymnastics is going to go downhill and fast. So the future is going away and it is a shame for the young kids now that are trying to go elite and follow their roll models like Shown Johnson.
