women's gymnastics

Vault and bars

Women's gymnastics is the branch of competitive gymnastics performed by female athletes, featuring four apparatus events: vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise.

The sport emphasizes a combination of strength, flexibility, artistry, and acrobatic skill.

At elite levels, gymnasts typically peak in their mid-to-late teens, making it one of the youngest Olympic sports: She started women's gymnastics at age five and made the national team by fourteen.
