Olympic Gymnastics Artistic Introduction

Gymnastics Artistic is a authority of gymnastics where gymnasts perform short routines (ranging from about 30 to 90 seconds) on different equipment, with less time for vaulting The sport is governed by the Federation Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG), which designs the Code of Points and regulates all aspects of worldwide selected contest. Within individual countries, gymnastics is in time by national federations, such as BAGA in Great Britain and USA Gymnastics in the United States.

In 1881 International Gymnastics Federation was founded and remains the governing body of international gymnastics since then. It included only three countries and was called European Gymnastics Federation until 1921, when the first non-European countries joined the federation, and it was reorganized into its present form. Gymnastics was included into the program of the 1896 Summer Olympics, but women were allowed to take part in the Olympics only since 1928. World Championships, held since 1903 also remained for men only until 1934. Since that time two branches of artistic gymnastics have been developing—WAG and MAG—which, unlike men's and women's branches of many other sports, are much different in apparatus used at the major competitions, in techniques and concerns.

Women's artistic gymnastics entered the Olympics as a team event in 1928. At the (12th) gymnastics World Championships in 1950, WAG as it is known today was included, with competition in team, all-around and apparatus final events, although individual women were recognized in the all-around as early as the tenth (10th) World Championships in 1934.
