Gymnastics

well I've never heard of a case of someone dying from gymnastics. i suppose if you have a really badaccident then yeah but if u take classes ur coach should be qualified and know what ur capable of so u don't take that rish.

The United States won 9 medals in gymnastics at the 2004 Summer Olympics:

Gold 1) Men's Team All-Around

2) Paul Hamm - Men's Individual All-Around

3) Carly Patterson - Women's Individual All-Around Silver 1) Paul Hamm - Men's Horizontal Bar

2) Women's Team All-Around

3) Carly Patterson - Women's Balance Beam

4) Terin Humphrey - Women's Uneven Bars

5) Annia Hatch - Women's Vault Bronze 1) Courtney Kupets - Women's Uneven Bars

1. Put head on the floor.

2. Put hands by ears.

3. Bring knees up and rest them on your shoulders.

In order to do this you need arm strength so your knees don't fall off your arms.

Between 1:10 to around 1:30 depends on the music picked

In all sports cheerleading reports the most fatal injuries.

In womes sports, cheerleading is still in the lead, folowed by gymnastics

Anybody can do a backflip with lots of practice. Most girls are better than boys. Therefore, girls can do backflips. Infact, I'm a girl and i can do backflips in ceremonies. I once got first place in the USA National Little Girls Backflip Dance Compotition. (USANLGBDC for short)

Gabby douglas started gymnastics when she was 6 years old - in 2004

A straddle consists of at-the-money puts and calls that expire on the same date. Strangles consist of out-of-the-money puts and calls that expire on the same date.

Straddles are lower-risk plays than strangles are. You know the stock is going to change price, and if it changes at all one of your options will go in-the-money and can be exercised. (If you've got a stock that really swings back and forth, and you're watching the straddle carefully, it's possible to cash in on both options by exercising them as they go in-the-money.) With a strangle, there's a gap between the two options where both of them are out-of-the-money and it's possible for both options to expire worthless.

The advantage of straddles: the near certainty that one of the two options will go in-the-money.

The advantage of strangles: out-of-the-money options are A LOT cheaper than at-the-money ones. An at-the-money put will run you between 8 and 10 percent of the stock's value--if you're buying an ATM put on Apple, which is over $300 per share right now, you'll pay over $30 per share in premium.

No, she has officially retired and is going to college at NYU now.

the center of the universe depends on your vision and point, its all a form of opinion. Everyone can consider themselves as the center.

the balance beam is actually 4 inches wide

I am going to assume you are referring to the straps used to keep gymnasts from falling off the bars while learning difficult skills. All of the straps I've seen are made of nylon webbing that is the same type used in rock climbing and mountaineering. It is extremely strong and able to hold up the extreme forces and heavy use in gymnastics. The straps are made in a variety of sizes to accommodate gymnasts of different ages and sizes.

• Do everything your teacher says and put a lot of EFFORT into it. You do not have to be really good at Gymnastics you just have to put a lot of EFFORT into it.

In New Zealand level 2 we have cartwheel, backwards roll, stand up, go back into bridge and stand up, present, chasee hop with your leg in front of you but bent and your knee to the side twice, step together present, up on your toes with your arms by your ears- half turn, handstand forward roll into pike sit, touch your toes, sit up, candle stick stand up and straight away straight jump half turn jump, land present, kick forwards then backwards on to your knees, put your arms in a circle then pose!

Synchronized swimming is for women only in the Olympics because there have never been more than a few strong male synchronized swimmers.

I think the middle if you are good enough you will be able to land in the same spot on the trampoline, if not go from the side and practise staying in the same spot (try moving backwards a bit while doing your front flip so you land almost in the same spot).

PS i am a profesional trampolinist!

Yes, But male gymnasts typically wear shorts over their leotard

It is when you sit with your legs apart in a v-motion. For a proper straddle it needs to be at least 90 degrees.

Well, for the same reason that women do not perform on the pommel horse, or rings. Their bodies are built differently. Men gain more muscles easier than women which makes it easier to do skills on the rings and pommel. Women have a better sense of balance therefore making it easier for them to perform on the balance beam as opposed to men.

Gabby Douglas began gymnastics at the age of six, starting her training in 2002. She quickly progressed through the ranks and gained national recognition, making her senior debut in 2011. This means she has been involved in gymnastics for over two decades.

it started out from the Greeks with their training for warriors and it got so popular after that. people noticed how much strength this sport has and agility they finally made it an official olympic sport, since then its one of the most popular sports out there.

aerial skills include front, back, and side aerials. I also include side summis and baranis.

A front aerial is similar to a front walkover without hands and a side aerial is like a cartwheel without hands. A back aerial is like a back handspring without hands.

Well, Rhythmic gymnasts are not just naturally flexible they stretch and stretch and stretch. Some rhythmic gymnasts are more flexible in their legs and to be able to to those amazing split leaps they stretch a lot! And others are way more flexible on their backs. There are also people who are just good at both leg and back flexibility. But remember rhythmic gymnasts have VERY strong core muscles which helps them balance, turn, hold their flexibility skills and jump.

The highest and lowest scores in a gymnastics competition are thrown out so that the average scores are what is counted across the board. This both helps and harms the gymnast if they have an extreme score either way.
