How is Artistic Gymnastics played?

In the all-around every gymnast performs on each apparatus of their programme and the sum of the scores decides. An apparatus final comes down to a single routine.

What are the rules of Artistic Gymnastics?

• The final score is the difficulty score (D) plus the execution score (E), minus any neutral deductions.
• The D score rates the technical content of the routine and has no upper limit.
• The E score starts at 10.0, with execution errors deducted from it.
• The men's apparatus are floor, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars and horizontal bar.
• The women's apparatus are vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor.

What equipment do you need for Artistic Gymnastics?

Standardised apparatus, plus a leotard or a singlet and shorts. Chalk is common for grip, as are wrist supports, hand guards and tape.

How long does a game of Artistic Gymnastics last?

A women's floor routine runs up to 90 seconds; a vault is over in a few seconds.

What is special about Artistic Gymnastics?

Historic scores are only partly comparable: in 2006 the FIG replaced the perfect 10.0 with an open-ended system that separates the D and E scores.
