    Gymnastics originated in Ancient Greece where it was used to train citizens for combat. Friedrich Jahn later formalized gymnastics in the early 19th century by inventing equipment still used today like the vault, parallel bars, and balance beam. Over time, gymnastics grew into a competitive sport with standardized rules and scoring systems, culminating in its inclusion in the first modern Olympics in 1896.
