My favourite sport

My favourite sports is the artistic gymnastics. Is a discipline of gymnastics which is very popular in the olympic games. The competitive gymnasts performs routines and I like to see these routines on television.

The symbol of this sports is Nadia Comaneci, because is considered the star of this sport and she received many awards for their excellent ratings . Also was the first gymnast ever to be awarded a perfect score of 10 in an Olympic gymnastic event. I like this sport because it's great to see the gymnasts perform acrobatics and is also a very feminine sports.

Gymnastics is an activity requiring strength, flexibility, agility and grace.

I do not practice this sport, but would like to.

The rules are: every gymnast starts at a different stop on the runway depending on their height and strength. Then may include one or more multiple saltos or somersaults, and/or twisting movements.

A form of artistic gymnastics is the rhythmic gymnastics.

Only women can compete in rhythmic gymnastics although there is a new version of this discipline for men. The sport involves the performance of five separate routines with the use of five apparatus—ball, ribbon, hoop, rope—on a floor area, with a much greater emphasis on the aesthetic rather than the acrobatic.

Another is the acrobatic gymnastics, a group gymnastic discipline for both men and women. Acrobats in groups of two, three and four perform routines with the heads and hands

Gymnastics is considered to be a dangerous sport, due in part to the height of the apparatus, the speed of the exercises and the impact on competitors' joints, bones and muscles. Sports have many affinities with art. For example the artistic gymnastics, my favourite sport ,can be considered a artistic spectacle.
