In women's artistic gymnastics (what is known as regular gymnastics) has four events.

The Balance Beam, the Uneven Bars, the Vault, and the Floor Exercise.

Athletes may choose the events individually and just compete that event, or they may choose to compete in the all around competition. Meaning they compete on all four apparatuses.
