 | | Before long these Eastern Block countries began practicing acrobatics as if it were a sport taking the skills learned in the circus and adding this to the discipline of the sporting arena, holding regular friendly competitions against each other. |
 | | At the same time as acrobatics was becoming a competitive sport in the Eastern Block, countries in the West, such as Great Britain, were beginning to recognise acrobatics as a beneficial recreational activity. |
 | | Not surprisingly the Eastern countries were by far the best with China, Russia, Bulgaria and Poland taking all of the top honors, while Western countries such as Great Britain and Belgium seemed to be there to make up the numbers. |
