- Synopsis
- This page shows images of gymnasts taking part in five events: the high bar, the pommel horse, the rings, the uneven bars, and the beam. Each image has a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The high bar (top left) This athlete is shown balanced on the high bar on one hand. He is seen upside down from the front. His feet are at the top centre of the image, and down the page from this are his legs and torso with one bent arm to the right. Further down is his head and his other straight arm with his hand holding onto the bar running horizontally across the bottom of the image. He is wearing tracksuit trousers, a singlet, and gloves to protect his hands. The pommel horse (top centre) This gymnast is seen from the back, balancing upside down on a pommel horse. His legs are at the top of the image stretching out to the right and left horizontally. Down the page is his torso and head. His arms, to either side of his head, continue down to hands holding on to the handles of the pommel horse. He is wearing tracksuit trousers and a singlet. Further down the page is the pommel horse with legs extending to the floor at the bottom of the image. The rings (top right) This gymnast is performing the very demanding iron cross exercise on the rings. He is seen from the front with his head at the top of the image. At the top of the image, to the left and right, are the ring's ropes; they continue upwards out of the image border. Between these is the gymnast's head, and stretching out horizontally left and right his arms can be found with his gloved hands gripping the two rings. His torso is down the page from his head and further down you can find his legs hanging down to the bottom of the image. He is wearing tracksuit trousers and a singlet. The uneven (asymmetric) bars (bottom left) In this picture the athlete, seen from the front, is in mid-air swinging from one bar to the other. The gymnast's arms reach out to the left and right at the top of the image with her hands held up ready to catch the top bar. Between her arms, her head can be found with her hair styled into a bun. Further down the page is her torso, and down again her legs stretch out in a 'splits' position to the left and right. She is wearing a leotard. The upper bar extends across the page in front of her legs and torso, and the lower one is at the bottom of the image and closer than the top bar. The beam (bottom right) This gymnast is performing an exercise on the ten-centimetre-wide balance beam. She is seen from the side with her legs stretching left and right across the top of the image. Her torso is in the middle of the page. Down the page to the left, one of her arms is visible with her hand holding the beam and to the right her head facing to the right. She is wearing a leotard. The beam extends across the bottom of the image.
