They compete in different disciplines, including artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, and trampoline gymnastics. Notable gymnasts include Simone Biles, Nadia Comăneci, and Kohei Uchimura, who have all achieved remarkable success in international competitions.

Additionally, while artistic gymnastics includes apparatus events like the high bar and balance beam, other forms like parkour and tumbling do not have Olympic status.
