it started when well i really don't know people say it all started when one little girl was playing in a field and all of a sudden she flipped and landed on her feet.....

people were all around her looking then somone elts started walking tord her for a minettt the lttle girl thout she was in trouble but then he said well ill be your the first little girl to do a flip.....then he thout he thout and he thout then finally he said.........we can call it a cart-weel the man said.

and that's how people say it all started!!!!!!!!!!!

The ancient Greeks invented the sport about 2000 years ago, and in the beginning only men were aloud to do the sport but as the years progressed women earned their rights and were able to perform and practice the sport. The sport actually has gone through periods were it has been taken out of the Olympics then a few Olympics go by and they put it back in.!!

And the little girl was called Maureen
