The word "gymnastics" comes from ancient Greek, and its Italian is "naked technique", because it was all naked practice at that time and was later adopted by European and American countries.

Gymnastics is the perfect combination of exercise and aesthetics, strength and agility, elegance and elegance. In the past 25 years, it has performed many classic performances in the Olympic Games.

When gymnastics appeared in ancient Greece more than 2000 years ago, the main purpose of gymnastics activities was planting activities. People gather there not only to exercise, but also to discuss art, music and philosophy together. The ancient Greeks believed that when people engaged in intellectual activities and physical exercise at the same time, their bodies and minds could reach a harmonious level.

Today, gymnastics is often regarded as a combination of sports and art, but this is not a new idea. Plato, Aristotle and Homer all advocate the role of courage in gymnastics, and this philosophical view can be found in many of their works.

188 1 On July 23rd, the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) was born in Liege, Belgium. At that time, it represented gymnastics associations in Belgium, the Netherlands and France. 1897, 17 countries established the European Gymnastics Federation, but when the United States joined the organization in 192 1, its name was changed to the International Gymnastics Federation.

Gymnastics is a sport that has existed in previous Olympic Games, but it is difficult to be "artistic" in early competitions. Rope climbing, somersault and waving wooden sticks were all gymnastics events, which were eventually eliminated from the historical stage. In the early gymnastics world championships, other major events were often mixed, such as the pole vault and shot put in track and field, and even the swimming event appeared in the gymnastics world championships in 1922, which did not change until 1954.

The pattern of Olympic gymnastics competition has been basically fixed since 1924, and male athletes will compete in individual and team competitions on various instruments. Women 1928 entered the Olympic Games. After 1952 entered the Olympic Games, the former Soviet Union quickly became the overlord of this project.
