History of the Uneven Bars In the 19 th century (around 1830), there were reports of uneven bars in France, but it was only in the second half of the 20 th century when this apparatus with the asymmetrically adjusted bars gained its importance. It was at the first “real” World Championships in Budapest in 1934, which were the very first ones for women as well, when it came into favor as a competition apparatus and two years later, when it had its Olympic debut in Berlin. Today the uneven bars are the most many-sided, most dynamic and most demanding apparatus of women’s gymnastics. It is long since the structure of the many-sided movements on and between the upper and the lower bar corresponds to a “double horizontal bar” German At first, they did gymnastics like the men did... (History and development of women’s gymnastics at uneven bars) A sight backwards Already in 1830 the Frenchman Amoros wrote of uneven and asymmetrically adjusted bars in a very successful textbook (“Manuel d’education physique et morale”), which was still published in 1859 in its ninth edition. This modification of the bars was not really established in the following time, not at all as a specific feminine apparatus, since the equal participation of women was not possible for a long time due to social circumstances. There were women doing gymnastics around the turn of the century in the German Gymnastics League, but the real upturn started after World War II only.

Home Page About Flicka Programs Coaches ... Email Flicka History of Gymnastics It is not certain how, or when gymnastics began. Perhaps the first gymnast was an early human, skilled at swinging from tree branch to tree branch. Old stone cuttings show that the ancient Egyptians enjoyed building human pyramids, and performing acrobatic activities, around 3000 B.C. About a thousand years later, the Chinese developed a version of gymnastics they called Cong Fu. In the second century BC, men and women of Minoan Crete developed the art of bull leaping. In bull leaping the performer would run toward a charging bull, grab its horns, and, upon being tossed into the air, execute various midair stunts before landing on the bull's back, then dismount with a flip. In the times of the ancient Romans and Greeks, gymnastics has been used to facilitate body development through exercise. The word "Gymnastics" derives from the Greek word "gymnazein" which translated means "exercise naked". In ancient Greece, three distinct programs of gymnastic exercise were developed: one for the maintenance of good physical condition, another for military training, and a third as part of a conditioning regimen for athletes. The early Greek teachers of physical fitness were the first to design systems of physical activity for both athletes and for the general citizenry. Such programs, which included gymnastics, were considered central to the formal education of children. The Greeks believed that the unity of mind and body could only be realized through participation in physical exercises. Gymnastics was included in early Olympic games around this time.

Potted History Some early history about women and the Olympics Married women were barred from the Ancient Olympic Games, but prostitutes or virgins were allowed to spectate. Kallipateria was the first female Olympic boxing coach in 440 BC. The first female Olympic champion was a Spartan princess called Kynisca, in 392 BC. She was also the first woman to become a champion horse trainer when her horses and chariot competed and won in the Ancient Olympic Games. Women had their own athletic games of Hera from about 1000 BC. Women were originally the prizes in mens Ancient Olympic chariot races. Ballooning, croquet and golf (1900) were once Olympic events in which women competed. Please see Statistics for more information. 1900 was the year the World Exhibition was scheduled to take place in Paris, with celebrations and events akin to our own Millennium celebrations. The Olympic Games were taking place at the same time, from 14th May to 28th October and were considered by many to be part of the World Exhibition. Some of the competitors did not know if they were in the Olympic Games or the World Fair. Happily for the women athletes of the time, the all male International Olympic Committee, who were very against women taking parts in sports, had little influence in Paris. The organisers of the World Exhibition seemed unconcerned about the rights and wrongs of women competing, so their presence was not an issue. To this day there is still confusion as to which events were Olympic and which were World Fair events. So, who were the first female Olympic competitors and champion? For a sport to be Olympic in 1900 it had to be an open sport, amateur and international, not handicapped and not motorised. The long-held view was that women took part in just

History from 1968 to the present ... Donna Strauss (when asked how it all began ) The Parkette program has come a long way since its humble beginnings in the early 1960's. Bill and Donna Strauss formed the group that was to become one of the most famous and recognized gymnastics programs in the USA Gymnastics history. It was with great pride that the Strausses selected the name Parkettes when identifying their new team. It was to honor the man that inspired them to pursue their dreams of building a gymnastics program in the Lehigh Valley. Little did they realize, as they started helping young people develop their athletic abilities, that in less than two decades they would achieve a ranking of #1 Team in the United States and be voted by their peers. . . coaches of the Year in 1983,1994 and 1998. The road to success was not an easy one. The sport of gymnastics has increased dramatically in popularity since the founding of the Parkettes. As gymnastics grew, so did the Strausses means to provide a quality program to their students. In their formative years, the Parkettes practiced in places such as a barn with no heat, a dimly lit basement of a church, the Strauss's own backyard (during the summer), and the second and third floors of Symphony Hall in Allentown's downtown area!

World Gymnaestradas Rhythmic gymnastics was brought to Canada by Evelyn Koop (photo), a graduate of the Institute of Physical Education and specializing in rhythmics at Ernst Idla 's government sponsored school in Sweden. Video clip! (from the Elite Provincials 1996) Kalev celebrated 50 years of RG in Canada in 2001. See website! WHAT IS RG? Modern rhythmic gymnastics began as a non-competitive sport in Eastern Europe at the beginning of this century and originally emerged as a criticism of the gymnastics of the time, which did not distinguish between gymnastics for men and for women. It may, however, be regarded as a movement specifically aimed at women's physical fitness, because it was developed on the basis of their biological and physiological characteristics. But over time, it has also had an impact on men's gymnastics by modernizing and reforming it. The sport consists of exercises of movement, which are arranged to music, combining dance and athletics with the aim of displaying an aesthetic harmony by control of body movement. It is developed from the natural movements of walking and running, coupled with grace, flexibility, endurance and self-expression. Rhythmic gymnastics is still primarily a European sport but has spread across the world. Rhythmic gymnastics can be seen as divided in two sections: a) Rhythmics , which consists of group exercises with natural and harmonic movements, carried out to music. It develops coordination, flexibility, strength and balance through movements that are reciprocal, alternating contraction and relaxation. It emphasizes fluidity and connections between moves, so that in lifting the arm the movement travels from the centre of the body all the way out to the fingertips. Apparatus, e.g. balls, hoops, ribbons, are used to develop coordination. It is from this branch that the Aesthetic Group Gymnastics ("AGG") is developed.
