Competitive gymnastics has been a part of the Olympic games from the very start. These events highlight the gymnast’s body strength, flexibility, balance, and acrobatic skill. Here are the events you can expect to see during the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

What Types of Competitive Gymnastics Will You See at the Summer Olympics?

Artistic gymnastics was one of the original disciplines introduced in the modern Olympic games at the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens. Gymnasts must show their skills across various equipment. Women participate in four core events, including the balance beam, uneven bars, vault, and floor exercise. Men compete in the latter two events as well as rings, pommel horse, high bar, and parallel bars.
