Another example in track and field: men compete in the decathlon (10 events); women in the heptathlon (7 events).

What are the different kinds of gymnastics?
There are three types of gymnastics- Artistic, aerobic and Rythmic. Artistic- this is when gymnasts compete indivdually on many different pieces of equipment such as vault,floor, bars and beam Aerobic- This involves teams where gymnasts are thrown by other gymnasts and perform things like sommersaults/flips. They only use the floor. Rythmic- this is when gymnasts compete individually and perform on floor and use things like hoops, ribbons and balls. It involves more dance and flexibility then the other types of gymnastics.
What are the gymnastic specialities?
There are six different types of gymnastics. These are; womens artistic, mens, rhythmic, trampoline and tumbling, acro, and group. In womens artistic gymnastics, there are 4 events; vault, uneven bars, balance beam and the floor exercise. Women can specialize in any of these events or compete in the all-around. In mens gymnastis, there are 6 events; floor exercise, pommel horse, still rings, vault, parallel bars, and the high bar. Again, men can specialize in any of these events or compete in the all-around. In rhythmic gymnastics, there are 4 events; clubs, hoops, rope, and ball. Women can specialize in any of these events or compete in the all-around. In tramp and tumbling, there are 4 events; trampoline, synchronized trampoline, double mini trampoline, and tumbling. These gymnasts can specialize in any of these apparatuses or compete them all (however there is no all-around competition) In acro gymnastics, there different events based on who makes up the group. There is; women's pair, women's group, men's pair, and mixed pair. For group gymnastics, there are two events; group jump and group floor exercise which each squad competes in. I hope this helped!
