Men gathered at "gymnasiums" the center of activity for the time not only practice the sport, but also to debate about art, literature and philosophy. The major focus of gymnastics focused on finding symmetry between the mind and body by pairing physical exercise with intellectual activity Plato, Aristotle and Homer advocated strengthening qualities of gymnastic activity. Christians of the time considered gymnastics Satanic because of its focus on the body gymnasts performed in the nude at the all-male ancient Games of Olympia. After financial corruption led to the banning of gymnastics in 393 A.D., the sport did not reappear in the public arena until the 16th century. "Artistic" gymnastics came to be in the early 1800s, distinguishing free-flowing styles from the techniques used by the military.

    Extractions: USA Gymnastics is the sole National Governing Body (NGB) for the sport of gymnastics in the United States. It gets this designation from the International Olympic Committee and the International Gymnastics Federation. USA Gymnastics sets the rules and policies that govern gymnastics in this country. Training and selecting the U.S. Gymnastics Teams for the Olympics and World Championships are just two of the many responsibilities of USA Gymnastics. The not-for-profit organization was established in Tucson, Ariz., in 1963. During the mid-1960s the U.S. had scarcely 7,000 athletes competing a limited schedule. The only major international events for gymnasts were the Olympic Games and the Pan American Games. Today, more than 65,000 athletes are registered in competitive programs through USA Gymnastics. USA Gymnastics has more than 11,000 professional and instructor members. Approximately 3,000 competitions and events throughout the U.S. are sanctioned annually. USA Gymnastics is headquartered in Indianapolis, Ind., with several other sports' NGBs and has expanded very quickly in its 30-plus years. The original staff of three has now grown to approximately 40 employees, who maintain the following areas: Programs This department consists of men's, women's and rhythmic programs. They are responsible for all aspects of athlete, coach and official selection and development. This includes conducting clinics, training camps and competitions; coordinating gymnastics delegations to national and international competitions; and providing support for the athletes and coaches who represent the United States here and abroad.

In 2000 BC, the men and women of Ancient Greece developed the sport of bull jumping, which is similar to the vaulting exercises you see today in modern gymnastics. In bull jumping, the athlete would run towards a charging bull , grab its horns and either vault onto the bull's back or vault over the bull in a somersault and land on his or her feet on the other side of the bull! This early event required both courage and strength , as well as grace and style. The Ancient Romans used gymnastics as part of their military training to improve the strength, balance and flexibility of soldiers. In the 1800s, gymnastics exercises using rings, bars, balls and mats were developed by gymnasts in Germany and Sweden. Gymnastics have been a part of the modern Olympic Games , since they were first held in 1896. Rhythmic gymnastics, which combines gymnastics and dance, and makes use of

Submit A Special Request Olympic Sports History GYMNASTICS Gymnastics was one of nine sports on the program of the first modern Olympics, at Athens in 1896. There was team and individual competition on the horizontal bars and the parallel bars, with individual competition only on the pommel horse, rings, vault, and rope climbing. In 1900, there was only one event, the men's all-around, which included weightlifting, the pole vault, long jump, rope climb, and the combined long jump and high jump. The first world championships, held at Antwerp in 1903, included a hodge-podge of 26 events. Among them were compulsory exercises without apparatus, optional and compulsory exercises on apparatus, the high jump, running, and weightlifting. Until 1920, local organizers decided what event were to be on the Olympic program. The 1904 Olympics were held in St. Louis, and the gymnastics competition there probably offers a pretty good snapshot of the state of American gymnastics at that time. All of the current men's events, except the floor exercise, were on the St. Louis program. But the program also included club swinging, rope climbing, the gymnastics triathlon (parallel bars, high bars, and combined long horse and side horse vaults), and the athletic triathlon (long jump, shot put, and 100-yard dash).

Submit A Special Request Olympic Sports History RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS Although it's quite new as a competitive sport, rhythmic gymnastics is rooted in the very beginning of modern gymnastics. Specifically, it grew out of the Swedish system of free exercise developed in 1814 by Peter Henry Ling. Ling promoted "aesthetic gymnastics," in which students expressed their feelings and emotions through bodily movement. The idea was extended by Catherine E. Beecher, founder of the Western Female Institute in Ohio in 1837. In Beecher's gymnastics program, called "grace without dancing," young women exercised to music, moving from simple calisthenics to more strenuous activities. During the 1880s, Emil Dalcroze of Switzerland developed "eurhythmics," a form of physical training for musicians and dancers, and George Demeny of France created various exercises to music that were designed to promote grace of movement, muscular flexibility, and good posture. All of those strains were combined, around 1900, into the Swedish school of rhythmic gymnastics, which later added more dance elements from Finland. About the same time, Ernest Idla of Estonia established a degree of difficulty for each movement.

At the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, Canada, the world met "Nadia." At age 14, this Romanian dynamo captured the hearts and minds of the world with her daring and perfection. As contributing editor of International Gymnast Magazine, she is still very involved in her sport. She speaks five languages and is a commentator at major gymnastics competitions for several television networks. With a perfect 10, Tim Daggett clinched the first Olympic gold medal for the U.S. Men's Gymnastics Team in modern history. Despite hardship and numerous life threatening injuries, Tim continued to follow his heart and compete in the sport he loved. His desire and perseverence allowed Tim to leave gymnastics on his own terms...as a world-class competitor.

THE RENAISSANCE OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES The first Session of the IOC was held in Paris on 23-24 June 1894. It was during the first Session that the city of Athens was selected for the Games of the I Olympiad. The inauguration of the first Games of the modern era, opened by King George I at the foot of the Acropolis on April 5, 1896, was a huge relief for baron Pierre de Coubertin. Greece's instability and economic stature, due to numerous conflicts, proved almost insurmountable obstacles. However, a wealthy Greek architect from Alexandria, George Averoff, donated a gift of one million drachma and in a matter of 18 months a superb white marble stadium, able to hold 60,000 people, was constructed. Baron de Coubertin's dream of reinventing the Games was one he had coveted since 1892 - two years later the official announcement was made and Athens chosen as the site. Baron Pierre de Coubertin invited countries from all over the world to attend the first of the new Olympics in Athens.

    Extractions: Brief History of the Olympic Games Ancient Olympic Games The Olympic Games begun at Olympia in Greece in 776 BC. The Greek calendar was based on the Olympiad, the four-year period between games. The games were staged in the wooded valley of Olympia in Elis. Here the Greeks erected statues and built temples in a grove dedicated to Zeus, supreme among the gods. The greatest shrine was an ivory and gold statue of Zeus. Created by the sculptor Phidias, it was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Scholars have speculated that the games in 776 BC were not the first games, but rather the first games held after they were organized into festivals held every four years as a result of a peace agreement between the city-states of Elis and Pisa. The Eleans traced the founding of the Olympic games to their King Iphitos, who was told by the Delphi Oracle to plant the olive tree from which the victors' wreaths were made. According to Hippias of Elis, who compiled a list of Olympic victors c.400 BC, at first the only Olympic event was a 200-yard dash, called a stadium. This was the only event until 724 BC, when a two-stadia race was added. Two years later the 24-stadia event began, and in 708 the pentathlon was added and wrestling became part of the games. This pentathlon, a five-event match consisted of running, wrestling, leaping, throwing the discus, and hurling the javelin. In time boxing, a chariot race, and other events were included.
