GYMNASTICS
researched by Geewon Yoon
Floor
During floor events,gymnasts do back handsprings, kick overs, dive rolls and aerials. Gymnasts have to keep the beat when they are doing the floor.
I feel nervous when I do something new. I tried to do an aerial. I want to be perfect, stand very tall.
Vault
Gymnasts run, jump off the spring board, put there hands on the vault they flip and spin either tucked,piked or stretched. Last they land on the mat.
I must run fast and jump really high so I can flip more.
Bars
The uneven bars have a metal frame and a wooden or plastic bar. Gymnasts do tricks like spins called giants, glides, and handstands.
I tried to spin forward and backward.
Tumble Track
The tumble track is made of big vaults and padded sides. Gymnasts always have to run fast to get higher so they can spin or do more tricks.
I have to look straight forward, run fast and do more tricks like forward rolls, round offs, and front hand springs.
