Artistic gymnastics is a discipline of
gymnastics where gymnasts perform short routines (ranging from approximately 30 to 90
seconds) on different apparatus, with less time for vaulting (see lists below). The sport is governed by the
Federation Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG), which designs the
Code of Points and regulates all aspects of international elite competition. Within individual countries, gymnastics is regulated by national federations, such as BAGA in Great Britain and USA Gymnastics in the United States. Artistic gymnastics is a popular
spectator sport at the
Summer Olympic Games and in numerous other competitive environments.
