What is the criteria to host the Olympics?
The sport must be practiced by men in at least 75 countries and four continents, and by women in at least 40 countries and three continents.
The sport in question must have a governing International Federation in order for the IOC to officially recognize them as a sport.
The governing body has to then file an application to become a demonstration sport. After that, the sport may file another application to officially become a fully recognised Olympic sport.
Horseshoe throwing doesn't count
To make it onto the Olympic programme, a sport first has to be recognised: it must be administered by an International Federation which ensures that the sport's activities follow the Olympic Charter. If it is widely practised around the world and meets a number of criteria established by the IOC session, a recognised sport may be added to the Olympic programme on the recommendation of the IOC's Olympic Programme Commission.

Is level 3 gymnastics easier then level 4 gymnastics?
I'm talking about USAG women's gymnastics, compulsory routines.
Floor: In level 4, the gymnast performs one tumbling pass which is a round-off - back handspring. In level 5, the gymnast performs two tumbling passes. One is a round-off - back handspring - back handspring, in which a second back handspring is connected to the first. She must also do a front handspring to two feet, rebound, from a running entrance. There is also a dive roll (jump to forwards roll) and a backwards extension roll (backward roll to handstand with straight arms).
Vault: The level 4 vault is a sort of "practice" vault in which the gymnast goes to handstand and then falls flat onto her back on a squishy mat. In level 5, the gymnast must perform a handspring over the "real" vaulting horse, showing straight arms and good body position, with a powerful block and stick.
Bars: The level 4 bars routine does not utilize the high bar or have a kip in it. A kip is a basic building block of bars. The level five routine has a squat-on followed by a jump to the high bar, which can be a fear issue for some smaller girls. The level 5 routine requires a straight-armed kip on both low and high bars, and good body position tap swings.
Beam: The level 4 routine does not require the cross handstand to reach vertical or the side handstand dismount to be held for a significant span of time, while the level 5 routine requires both of these skills. The level 5 routine also demands a cartwheel and better leaps, more controlled dance. It also contains a split jump.

How do you improve your splits in five days?
there are a few basic stretches involved to be gain the ability to do the splits. i can only do the front splits and at the moment im working on side splits. here is one everyday stretch for you to do at least twice a day. First, find a ledge that is up to about your waist(a window-sill is what i used!) and hold onto it with your left hand. Then, raise your right foot. Hold on to the arch of your foot coming from the inside leg. Make sure you have a tight hold of your foot! Then pull your leg upward keeping both legs straight. Do this with your left leg and continue to do this until your knee is touching your ear. This might take anywhere between 1-4mths depending on your age and how flexible you are when you first start off. Remember: only do this stretch when warmed up because if you do it when you're cold, you could pull ligaments or tendons in your legs. Do this stretch after a fast walk or if its raining, jog on the spot! Why spend money on stretching machines when you can easily use your muscles! I hope this information will help you to be able to do the splits! Im always happy to help!

I assume you are asking about a floor routine? If so, usually between one minute to one minute and twenty seconds.
Yes but it was far, far, far different than what you see on tv and in local clubs and training centers around the world today. A hundred years ago rope climbing and even juggling was consider part of gymnastics and the Greeks did do either of those.
