By Andrea Davidson


In Ozark gymnastics is a form of sport which entails execution of exercises that require balance, agility, physical strength, flexibility, coordination, and power. At the international scale, the sport is controlled by (FIG), an international federation. This federation ensures that required standards in the game are observed at all global competitions. All nations on the globe have national authorities that have some association with the FIG in one way or another.

The sport is divided into many disciplines including team gym, tumbling, aerobic, acrobatic, trampolining, rhythmic, and artistic gymnastics. Participants can be of any age, starting with kids of less than two years to adults of both genders. People who endeavor to be international gymnasts start practicing at a very tender age and specialize in one or more disciplines. This sport can also be exercised for recreational purposes besides being a competitive game.

Of all the other branches in this sport, the most recognized of all is artistic gymnastic. It entail both, ale and female events and is included in most Olympic games. Events in which females participate include balance beams, uneven bars, vaults, and floor exercises. Event for males comprise of vaults, still ring, high bars, floor exercises, pommel horses, and parallel bars.

Points in this sport are awarded depending to how elegantly an individual executes different events. The score utilized is known as an execution score and is usually out of ten points. The judge subtracts points from the 10 points from the start up to the end of the session. However, there is a new technique of awarding marks presently in use in USA in elite level competitions.

The new score is called a difficulty score, and it brings the number of scores used to two. On the difficulty score, points are not deducted like in the execution score, rather they are awarded. The difficulty score bases on the element a gymnast performs and can change depending on whether one does not perform of finish all the skills. It also depends on whether one connects a skill to the other as required or not.

The most known gains in difficulty scores are connection bonuses. Connection of aspects is the awarding factor here since it is considered skillful to connect 2 or more flight components. Moreover, it is very difficult to connect skills to each other if the initial skill is not done perfectly in the first place. Difficulty score allows gymnasts to gain more scores basing on how hard the events they perform are and how correctly they are executed. There is no boundary to the score one may gain here.

Most events are executed singly by one person while others involve pairs or groups. Pair and group events require a lot of synchronism and focus among all participants since the failure of a single person affects the whole crew. There are also several equipment used in many skills of each event.

Ozark gymnastics is all based on perfecting skills. Gymnasts go through training for many years before they appear on international platforms to perform. Many gymnasts also warm up before participating in an event in order to prepare emotionally and physically.
