 | | Artistic gymnastics is one of the most popular spectator sports at the Summer Olympic Games, although it is not a particularly popular participant sport, as performing at even a basic level requires very high levels of fitness and skill which take more training than many people are prepared to commit. |
 | | A gymnast's routine was marked out of a 10 if the gymnast had enough difficulty (the amount of difficulty that the gymnast had to have varied from Code to Code - in the 2001 - 2005 Code of Points, gymnasts needed 1.2 bonus to start from a 10) and fulfilled certain difficulty requirements. |
 | | However, the discipline of general gymnastics is geared more towards participation for fun and fitness, rather than competition, and attracts a respectable number of participants including retired gymnasts. |
