some dudes were doing backflips and the lead dude was like"man this is awesome" and the other dude was like, " yeah man it is awesome what should we call it," and the lead dude was like," i don't know," then the lead dude sneezed and it sounded like he said gymnastics so they decided to call it that.

Gymnastics began in ancient Greece. The ancient Greeks considered physical fitness to be a very important part of their life and they built gymnasia and courtyards in every city of ancient Greece for the purpose of jumping, running and Wrestling.

Meanwhile, the Roman Empire began to ascend and Greek gymnastics began to give way to military training. The wooden horse which is used in modern-day gymnastics was introduced by the ancient Romans. In the year 393 A.D., the Olympic Games were abolished by Emperor Theodosius and gymnastics was, therefore, abolished.
