The Basics
Gymnasts perform a series of short routines, which contain a variety of twists, bounces and somersaults. Precise technique and perfect body control are vital for success, with judges delivering marks for difficulty, execution and flight time.
Each individual competition for men and women features two phases: the qualification round and the final round. Athletes perform two routines in the qualification round. The eight athletes with the best scores advance to the finals for one more routine, which determines the results of the competition.
