Womens Artistic

Women's Artistic Gymnastics is probably the most well known branch of the sport and one of the biggest crowd pleasers at the Olympic Games. It is an exciting, aesthetic, yet extremely demanding discipline incorporating Vault, Asymmetric Bars, Beam and Floor. RGTC have currently 36 members on these teams. Click here to see some photographs of them in action.

VAULT
This is a dynamic exercise from a springboard over a vaulting table. It demonstrates power and accuracy combining height and length, sometimes with multiple rotations or twists to finish with a controlled landing.

BARS
This exercise is performed on two bars, one high, one low, over and between which swinging movements are performed and breath-taking skills where the gymnast releases and re-catches the bar.

BEAM
An awe-inspiring piece of apparatus at 16ft long and only 4" wide it requires tremendous nerve and balance. The exercise combines artistry, acrobatic elements, balances, leaps, jumps and turns, finishing with a dismount demonstrating flight and precision landing.

FLOOR
The floor exercise is performed on a 12m x 12m sprung floor. A sequence of dance movements, tumbling, acrobatic elements, jumps, spins and leaps is choreographed to music expressing the gymnasts personality, style and flair.
