gymnastics overview

There are many sports in the world, but there is one that stands out in my mind. That sport is gymnastics.Gymnastics, to many people, is more than a sport. Its their life. There are four events in gymnastics. They are vault, bars, beam, and floor. The highest score that you can get is a 10.0. Getting a 9.0 is still a great accomplishment. To get better at gymnastics you must train and work hard, as hard as you can possibly work. Conditioning is what you do before and after practice, and so is stretching. Coaches are people who help and tell you what to do to make you a better gymnast. Gymnastics is one of the best sports ever!!!
