In Men’s Artistic Gymnastics the Rings are suspended on wire cable 5.75 metres from the floor – that’s the same height as a giraffe!

Having evolved from exercises used by the ancient Greeks, such as skills for mounting and dismounting a horse, and circus performance skills gymnastics has over 4 million people involved in the sport worldwide.

Demanding perfection, precision and co-ordination of those who compete; Romania’s Nadia Comaneci received the first perfect score in the uneven bars at the 1976 Olympic Games held in Montreal, Canada

A breathtaking sport to watch, gymnastics develops co-ordination, awareness, flexibility and a bit of elegance, grace and style doesn’t go a miss when performing routines of the floor!

Structure
Under 18 (age taken on 1st September in the year of competition) gymnasts will compete in a home nation competition representing England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Filton College - WISE Campus

Indoor ‘3rd Generation’ Football Pitch – GYMNASTICS
WISE campus has an incredible indoor 40m x 60m artificial 3rd generation football pitch. This will be transformed into a fully functional sprung floor for the gymnastics competition making the floor bouncy and softening the impact of landings to enable the gymnast to gain height when tumbling. The apparatus required for a full gymnastics program will be in place to fantastic performances.
