It is often featured in competitions, such as the Olympic Games.
There are different types of gymnastics, including artistic, rhythmic, and trampoline gymnastics. Artistic gymnastics focuses on routines performed on apparatuses, while rhythmic gymnastics combines elements of dance and gymnastics using props like ribbons and hoops. Trampoline gymnastics involves acrobatic movements performed on a trampoline.
