In men's gymnastics (which does not exist at Oregon State University, and is generally less popular and common in the United States than women's gymnastics), athletes compete in six events: vault, high bar, pommel horse, still rings, parallel bars, and floor exercise (very different from the women's floor exercise).
Vault: On vault, the gymnast runs down a runway at a maximum of approximately 82 feet from the vault (or horse), jumps onto a springboard, hits the horse with her hands, then flips and twists her way into her specific vault before landing on a mat.
Beam: The balance beam is a leather covered apparatus on which the gymnast performs dance, jumps, and acrobatic skills for a maximum of 90 seconds.
