Gymnastics is a sport that involves the performance of exercises requiring strength, flexibility, coordination, agility, and balance. It is practiced on various apparatuses, including the floor, vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and parallel bars. Gymnastics can be divided into two main categories: artistic gymnastics and rhythmic gymnastics.

Artistic gymnastics is further divided into men's and women's gymnastics. Men's gymnastics includes events on the floor, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars, and horizontal bar. Women's gymnastics includes events on the floor, vault, uneven bars, and balance beam. In both categories, athletes are judged on their execution, difficulty, and artistry.

Rhythmic gymnastics involves the performance of routines to music, using apparatuses such as the ribbon, hoop, ball, clubs, and rope. Athletes are judged on their execution, difficulty, and artistry, as well as their interpretation of the music.

Gymnastics originated in ancient Greece and was practiced by both men and women. It became an Olympic sport in 1896 and has been a staple of the modern Olympic Games ever since. Today, gymnastics is practiced by millions of people around the world, at all levels of competition, from recreational to elite. It is a sport that requires dedication, discipline, and a strong sense of self-control.
