All about 2012 Olympic Gymnastics Competition

Next to the events to find the  very best teams and the very best all around performers, gymnasts will be competing for gold on individual tackle. Men will compete on the floor, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars and horizontal bar, while women will compete on the vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor. Scores are given by a panel of judges, taking into relation the scale of difficulty and the features of execution. Strength, flexibility and balance are keys to success in this breathtaking and vast competitive sport. At London 2012, the Artistic Gymnastics competition will be held at the state of the art North Greenwich Arena on the River Thames, which will also host the Trampoline Gymnastics competition and the closing stages of the Basketball tournament.
