Womans Artistic Gymnastics events

In artistic woman gymnastics there are 4 events Vault,uneven bars,Beam and floor.
Vault















Vault is one of the four events in woman's gymnastics, It is an explosive event that lasts only a few seconds: A gymnast runs full speed to a table perched at the end of a runway, then springs off the apparatus in a graceful, yet powerful combination of flips and twists, before landing (hopefully upright) on the mat.
Uneven bars




The bars are parallel to each other and set at different heights, with the low bar at about 5 and 1/2 ft., and the high bar usually over 8 ft. (This height is adjustable)Most lower level gymnasts perform on the lower bar, higher gymnasts perform on both bars.
Beam















A balance beam is 4 inches (10 centimeters) wide Competitors Perform jumps,leaps,running steps,
turns and tumbling using the whole length of the beam. A beam routine must be a minimum of 60 seconds at the most 90 seconds.
Floor













The floor exercise is a square, about 40 ft. long by 40 ft. wide. It's usually made of foam and springs, and covered with carpeting. A gymnast performs Dance and tumbling skills to music.
Gymnasts must use the entire floor mat during their routine, but cannot step off the floor mat at any time, or a deduction is taken.
A floor routine lasts up to 90 seconds.
