• Gymnastics, as an activity sport, has been around for over 2000 years but as a ready for action sport it is a little more than 100 years old.
• In the 1830s, the sport of gymnastics was introduced to United States and its school systems by such immigrants as Charles Beck, Charles Follen and Francis Lieber.
• The first large-scale competition was the 1896 Olympics in Athens, Greece. There, Germany have been the dominant team by almost sweeping every medal. Five countries have participated in this event. Men's competitions included horizontal bar, parallel bars, pommel horse, rings, and vault.
