THE FRENCH CHAMPIONSHIP

This weekend is the French Gymnastic championship in Rouen. It is an important competition for French gymnast because, the selection for the European championship will be occur just after. The European championship is between the 15^th and the 19^th of April in Montpellier (France). We will write an article about that later.

For the first time the city of Rouen will welcome the French Championship this weekend. It is organised by the “Comite departemental de Haute-Normandie” and by the “Elan gymnique Rouennais” the gymnastic club in Rouen. It will be welcoming the best French gymnast.

VAULT

The vault is an apparatus for men and women, both have this apparatus in competition. It is composed of a runway of 25 meters and a springboard or a trampoline and the vault which make 1m20 of high.  

BEAM

The beam is a wood line covered by leather or deer.

The beam is:

High: 120cm
Longer: 5 meters
Width: 10cm
The high depends of the gymnast ages, if it is too high they can’t go on and it is too high for their mount and dismount, it can quickly be dangerous.

BARS

In gymnastic, there are three different types of bars: high bar, asymmetric bars and parallel bars. The asymmetric bars are for girls and the high bar and parallel bars are a men’s discipline.
