yes but you have to soak the chalk more than the pastels
chalk is for bars, and it helps you not slip and rip your hands. you can also use chalk on the balace beam, but it could ruin the beam. rosin is for the beam and not slipping, it can get really sticky and have you not slip (: haha hops this helps :D
You usually buy it from your gymnastics club. You get magnesium and carbon and combine it together and compress it in to a block and then wrap it up in some plastic.
Some of the events include:Vault, in which you would naturally use the vault and you might use mats or springboards for practicing. (Used in Girls and Boys gymnastics.)Floor, in which you might use mats or springboards for practice. (Used in Girls and Boys gymnastics.)Bars, in which you use the bars. You also might use grips for your hands, tape, or chalk. (Used in Girls and Boys gymnastics. Girls use uneven bars and boys use parallel bars as well as the high bar.)Beam, in which you use the beam, and a mat for practice. (Used in Girls gymnastics.)Rings, in which you used the rings and you might use mats, a foam pit, or chalk. (Used in Boys gymnastics.)Pommel Horse, in which you use a pommel horse and maybe some chalk. (Used in Boys gymnastics.)

It is not chalk, it is phosphors.
Track and field(hurdles) cheerleading,

Nature's chalk is limestone--hard. Blackboard chalk is soft--gypsum.
friction in gymnastics is hanging on bars. they rub chalk so there hands are rough and they get good grip.
