	Artistic gymnastics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Gymnastics as a system of harmonious sports training originated in the Ancient Greece more than 2,000 years ago, although gymnastic exercises and even some sort of apparatus were used in the ancient China and India for medical purposes much earlier.
		In its present form gymnastics evolved in Germany and Czechoslovakia in the beginning of the 19th century, and the term "artistic gymnastics" was introduced at the same time to distinguish free styles from the ones used by the military.

		In Artistic Gymnastics, competitors perform short routines (ranging from approximately 10 to 90 seconds) on different apparatus.
		They are then graded on a score from 0 to 10 based on whether the performance contained certain required movements, the difficulty of the movements performed, and how well their performance compared to the desired performance of that movement.
		In the past, female gymnastics was dominated by girls in their early teenage years, as their small size and light weight made landings softer and many movements easier.

	Artistic gymnastics - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		The apparatus used in Men's Artistic Gymnastics (MAG), and Women's Artistic Gymnastics (WAG) differ, with the unique men's apparatus particularly emphasising strength requirements and the women's apparatus emphasising artistry, balance and agility.
		Minimum age requirements, caused by concerns about competitor welfare and audience skepticism of the relevance of a contest dominated by prepubertal girls, have changed this somewhat, but elite female gymnasts are generally in their middle to late teenage years and of below-average height and weight.
		The United States is usually considered a "second power" in the sport, despite having produced some famous gymnasts, especially in the women's category.
