----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
Gymnastics involves the performance of exercises, on or with an apparatus, or a partner,
requiring physical strength, flexibility, coordination, power, agility, grace, balance and
control. Gymnastics is one of the oldest Olympic sports and one of the World's most popular
sports.
Brief History of the Origins of Gymnastics
Gymnastics started as ancient civilizations doing strength and acrobatic exercises. The word
gymnastics comes from the Greek words “gymnos” and “gymnazo” meaning roughly to train, to
exercise naked.
Johann Christoph Friedrich Gutsmuths, a German teacher and educator, is considered the great
grandfather of gymnastics. In 1793 he published a textbook which was later translated to English
as “Gymnastics for Youth: or a Practical Guide to Healthful and Amusing Exercises for the use of
Schools”.
A fellow German, Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, is known as the father of gymnastics. He was a member
of the Prussian army in the early 1800s. After a battle in which the Prussian army was defeated,
he came up with the idea of improving morale by developing physical and mental strength through
gymnastics. He opened the first Turnplatz, or open air gymnasium in 1811. Parallel Bars, rings
and high bar were practiced at this gym.
Most of the early training was focused on physical health and fitness.
Modern Gymnastics
GYMNASTICS ORGANIZES INTERNATIONALLY
In 1881 gymnastics became an “organized sport” when the Bureau of the European Gymnastics
Federation, which would later become the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG,) was formed.
FIG is the current international gymnastics governing body. Gymnastics was becoming more
popular and was included in the first “modern” Olympic Games in 1896. At this time, the
gymnastics events were different than they are today. In fact, they included some events that are
currently part of Track and Field. Some of the events competed were men’s horizontal bar, parallel
bars, pommel horse, rings, vault, high jumping, rope climbing and running. Track and Field events
didn’t disappear from the sport of gymnastics until 1954. Women weren’t allowed to compete at
Olympic gymnastics events until the 1920s.

from 15 to 16.

with no handles) in gymnastics competition.

gymnastics discipline.
2004: Carly Patterson becomes the first American woman to win the Olympic all-around title in a

2006: FIG introduced a new scoring system for women’s artistic gymnastics. Now the maximum
score is no longer a 10.0. The new scoring system has two separate scores added together — a
difficulty score, and an execution score. This scoring system is used at the Elite level in the US
and in international competitions.
