What Is Gymnastics?

Gymnastics is a sport that blends strength, flexibility, and artistry. Men’s Artistic Gymnastics involves performing routines on six apparatus: Floor Exercise, Pommel Horse, Rings, Vault, Parallel Bars, and Horizontal Bar. Women’s Artistic Gymnastics features routines on four apparatus: Vault, Uneven Bars, Balance Beam, and Floor Exercise. 

 

Rhythmic Gymnastics, on the other hand, combines gymnastics movements and dance steps performed to music, using apparatus such as Rope, Hoop, Ball, Clubs, and Ribbon.  

  

As in all Special Olympics sports, athletes are grouped into competition divisions according to ability level, age and gender when appropriate. In gymnastics, athletes also compete in specific levels.

 

Athletes in Illinois who participate in gymnastics compete locally at a Region Qualifying event. Gold medal winners are eligible to advance to state championships at the Summer Games held in Normal in June.
