Best Answer

In Cheerleading, athletes where sneakers, whereas gymnasts perform either barefoot or in socks. Although cheerleaders and gymnasts perform acrobatic stunts, gymnasts also perform on various apparatus. Also, the general purpose of cheerleading is to pump up spectators at either sporting events or in competitions, whereas the general purpose of gymnastics is to impress judges.

Gymnastics is a competitive sport that has 4 different events, vault, bars, beam, and floor. The level a gymnast can excel to is much greater then the skills in cheerleading. Although gymnasts do cheer for each other, it is more of an individual sport
