Is level 3 gymnastics easier then level 4 gymnastics?

Answer 1

I'm talking about USAG women's gymnastics, compulsory routines.

Floor: In level 4, the gymnast performs one tumbling pass which is a round-off - back handspring. In level 5, the gymnast performs two tumbling passes. One is a round-off - back handspring - back handspring, in which a second back handspring is connected to the first. She must also do a front handspring to two feet, rebound, from a running entrance. There is also a dive roll (jump to forwards roll) and a backwards extension roll (backward roll to handstand with straight arms).

Vault: The level 4 vault is a sort of "practice" vault in which the gymnast goes to handstand and then falls flat onto her back on a squishy mat. In level 5, the gymnast must perform a handspring over the "real" vaulting horse, showing straight arms and good body position, with a powerful block and stick.

Bars: The level 4 bars routine does not utilize the high bar or have a kip in it. A kip is a basic building block of bars. The level five routine has a squat-on followed by a jump to the high bar, which can be a fear issue for some smaller girls. The level 5 routine requires a straight-armed kip on both low and high bars, and good body position tap swings.

Beam: The level 4 routine does not require the cross handstand to reach vertical or the side handstand dismount to be held for a significant span of time, while the level 5 routine requires both of these skills. The level 5 routine also demands a cartwheel and better leaps, more controlled dance. It also contains a split jump.

Answer 2

"do the math duh its easier lol 3 is lower than 4 so the hardness of the level will be less in 3"

Rudeness is of no value in an answer!!

It matters the, Country, and the era of gymnastics in which one is asking and it would help to know which of the gymnastic sports you are refering too*.

In the USA At this point in time (2011) the higher the number the more difficult. In the past for Artistic Gymnastics men's and Woman's it was opposite. Not sure of the systems level titles of the other gymnastic sports at that time.

Sometime around 1980 the Level 1-10 system in the USA was adopted. (10 highest) Before that level ONE was the highest and level four was the lowest. My assumption is the thought was to have Level ONE be a level no one can go beyond thus it was the highest.
