Gymnastics

Rules: Every gymnast is allowed one attempt on each apparatus, except when the attempt is interrupted through no fault of the gymnast, but not on the women’s vault. When on the women’s vault, each athlete is aloud two attempts with averaged scores. Every gymnast determines their own routine.

How the judge decides on a winner: First they give the gymnasts scores on their performances, then they count the scores and the person with the highest score wins.

Interesting fact: Gymnastics has been around for over 2000 years! But it has been a competitive sport for a little more than 100 years!
