Gymnastics

It wasn't a routine, it was her second vault that won the gold medal for the U. S. A. women's gymnastics team, in the 1984 LA olympics!

In the USA gymnastics program the phases are usually represented by a pyramid. The bottom is compulsory and optional levels 1-10. The middle is elite gymnastics. the top is Olympic and World championships.

some dudes were doing backflips and the lead dude was like"man this is awesome" and the other dude was like, " yeah man it is awesome what should we call it," and the lead dude was like," i don't know," then the lead dude sneezed and it sounded like he said gymnastics so they decided to call it that.

There is a *lot* of terminology in gymnastics. I couldn't possibly list it all. I suggest Googling a gymnastics dictionary.

What do you mean by basic skills? Basic skill for pre-competitive? Level 4? Level 8? Level 10?

Both sports are typically considered "girlie" even through both have many male participants. It depends on what type of dance you are talking about. Ballet is maybe less girlie than cheerleading, but cheering and hip hop have many similarities

It depends on the teacher and how competitive they are.

the dictionary definition for these words are: stunts-- a performance displaying a person's skill or dexterity, as in athletics; feat: an acrobatic stunt.tumbling-- the act, practice, or art of performing acrobatic tumbles, usually on a mat or the ground. stunts are like in Cheerleading when you see a girl getting thrown up in the air or people holding a girl in the air, that's a stunt. tumbling is considered things like cartwheel, front roll, round-off, back-handspring, back tuck, full, x-out, front tuck, front-handspring, etc.

The ancient Egyptians invented the back handspring. Later on, the Greeks adopted it.

It depends. You first have to be on a level. There are levels 4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Most level 4's are in first grade. So you can compete when you are pretty young.. but you have to be good. I am a level 9. =]

You get a ruler and measure it in inches from the bottom of your hand to the bottom of you fingers.The finger holes will be tiny at first so it might be hard to get your fingers in and out unless you get grips with dalls. If you have dalls you just put them at the tips of your fingers.

Kerri Strug is famous for having won a gold medal despite having injured her ankle. This occurred at the 1996 Olympics.

Gymnastics was included in the ancient Greek Olympics and was very popular. They have also been in every modern Olympic Games since the games started in 1896.

A front handspring vault, a kip on the uneven bars, a squat on on the uneven bars, a cartwheel on the balance beam, straddle jump on the floor exercise, a dive roll on the floor exercise, a front handspring on the floor exercise, a back extension roll on the floor exercise, a full turn on the floor exercise, a back walkover on the floor exercise, a round-off back handspring back handspring on the floor exercise.

What kind of turns? Bars, beam, vault, floor?

Bars: You are probably thinking of cast back hip circle

Beam: Half turn of full turn

Vault: Not really sure

Floor:same as beam

I'm talking about USAG women's gymnastics, compulsory level 5.

Bars: glide kip, front hip circle, squat on, long hang kip, back hip circle (on high bar), tap swing, 1/2 turn dismount.

Beam: snap turn, split leap, handstand to vertical, half turn in coupé, cartwheel, stretch jump - split jump combo, arabesque, cartwheel to side handstand 1/4 turn dismount (hold 3 seconds).

Floor: dive roll, front handspring to two feet, split leap, split, back extension roll, full turn in coupé, hitch kick, back walkover, round-off back handspring back handspring.

Vault: Straight armed handspring over vaulting horse.

British Gymnastics was created in 1888.

The difference is that a back tuck is where you jump in the air and basically do a backwards somersault. A back handspring is where you prep, the jump backwards ( like when you start a race that is backstroke) and put your hands on the floor, then keep going backwards for the rest of the rotation until you get back to a standing position.

well there are plenty of rules just in general not just floor

like point your toes do your tumbling straight, if something looks funny the judges could practically deduct for anything

and it depends if you have an optional routine or a compulsary routine

the only rules i can specifically tell you are that you cannot step out of the white line around the floor

you should stick your tumbling passes

you have to have a certain amount of A or B tricks

you have to have some flight tricks and tumbling

the routine music must be, i think, more then 50 seconds and less then 1:20

that's all i can think of at the moment

well glad i got to answer your question bye!

First off they are called partner stunting, and it is when a person throws a flyer into the air high enough to catch the flyer at their feet equaling a partner stunt.

100 dollars

FX - standing back handspring, front flip, back extension roll to handstand (straight arms), RO BHS back tuck, front handspring step out front handspring, and a side straddle leap. everything else you should have from level 5. BB - back walk over or back extension, 180 degree leap and split jump, handstand dismount, full turn. UB - clear hip and cast above 45 degrees ( i believe), baby giant, fly away. everything else you should have from level 5. V - front handspring. I believe that's it

Because gymnasts have to be able to lift their body up and flip around with only the strength of their arms or their legs and if they are heavy that becomes incredibly difficult.

do you mean a backflip as in a back tuck? (which would be without hands) or back flip as in back hand spring? (which would be with hands) if you mean backtuck its just called a cartwheel back tuck bvut if you mean with back hand spring then it is just cartwheel back hand spring hope that helps.!

The men's gymnastics events in Olympic order are: Floor Exercise, Pommel Horse, Rings, Vault, Parallel-bars and Horizontal Bar (also known as High Bar). Both Floor and Vault are also practiced by the women.

Without the floor you could hurt yourself. Without beam there is nothing to walk on. Without springboards there is nothing to bounce off of. Without bar there is nothing to swing on. Without the equipment there would not be a sport.
