Artistic gymnastics

Artistic gymnastics is a discipline of gymnastics in which competitors perform short routines (ranging from approximately 30 to 90 seconds) on different apparatus, obviously less for vaulting (see lists below). They are judged out of a maximum of 10.00 points depending on the fulfilment of certain difficulty requirements and perfection of the performance of movements. The scoring of gymnastics routines is regulated in the Code of Points. (For an in-depth discussion of how gymnastics scoring works, see this Slate.com article.)
