Yes, A gymnastics meet is a competition. It is just another word for a competition.
Gymnastics was not simply 'created'. It evolved over time mostly from contortion But there is a reason why it became famous. It started in circuses, as freak shows then developed into competitions and the moves developed into named, serious moves.
There are many,many moves in gymnastics,more advanced ones and easier basic ones. there are also categories each fall in.
You can do rythmic gymnastics in the olympics, it is just another form of gymnastics, olympic gymnastics can be any form of gymnastics performed at the olympic games.
lots and lots and lots you can always combine 2 moves together to make a new one e.g. bridge walkover into splits i dont know if that's a real move but if it is, i didnt know and i thought of i myself.
There is a *lot* of terminology in gymnastics. I couldn't possibly list it all. I suggest Googling a gymnastics dictionary. What do you mean by basic skills? Basic skill for pre-competitive? Level 4? Level 8? Level 10?
Your coach moves you up to level 4.
Gymnastics gives you so much better technique and tumbles are performed a lot safer. Cheerleading can give you bad habbits and can 'cheat' moves.
