Sports Acrobatics - Acrobatic Gymnastics

Acrobatic gymnastics (formerly known as sports acrobatics) is a competitive gymnastic discipline, in which partnerships of gymnasts work together and perform figures from acrobatic movements, dance and drumming based on music. There are three types of routines; An "equilibrium" routine where focus is on strength, balance and flexibility; A "dynamic" routine that involves throwing, somersaults, and catches, and (at level 6 and above) a "combined" routine that contains elements of balance and dynamics.

The sport is led by the International Federation of Gymnastics (FIG). At international level, there are four categories of competition according to age; 11-16, 12-18, 13-19, and 15+ (senior).

Acrobatic gymnasts lead to couples or groups and enter into a certain or age group. In each partnership, the different sizes and abilities of the gymnasts are balanced to complement each other to perform the complex movements. Some are mainly supportive and pitching roles, and are known as bases. They are then balanced with smaller gymnasts, which become the 'tops'. The various partnerships in the competition are:

    Women couple (two women)
    Men's Couple (two men)
    Mixed couple (a male base and a female top)
    Women's group (three women)
    Men's group (four men)

In the competition, partnerships lead a routine to the music, which is usually specially choreographed for them. The gymnasts perform their acrobatic movements and combine them with dance, all in time and in accordance with the style of the music. Partnerships are judged on skill, difficulty of skills and skills.

The rules for sport, known as the Code of Points, are governed by the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique. These rules change every four years in line with the Olympic cycle, as in other disciplines gymnastics.

Acrobatic gymnastics events are part of the World Games and are also among the first European games, as well as their own acrobatic gymnastics world championship which takes place in straight years (known as World Sports Acrobatics Championships before 2006), as well as in the continental or regional area championships in odd years . For example, the European Acrobatic Championships take place in Lisbon, Portugal in October 2013.

There are also numerous national, state and regional competitions taking place in every country. Local and regional competitions often form the qualification stages for participating in national championships. There is no requirement of the figure for Turner to have qualified through their own national championships to compete internationally but local government will often make their national team selection based on performance at national competition.

Acrobatic gymnastics events often attract large audiences because they are very entertaining, exciting and exciting because of the view of being risky or boldly moved. At the Olympic Games in London in 2012 acrobatic partnerships were shown before the Olympic tournaments and at the opening and closing ceremonies. It was said that its appearance, although not an Olympic discipline, is a testament to its ability to entertain.

Gold, silver and bronze medals are usually awarded in the usual way; Although in some competitions, a minimum score is required to qualify for medals
