Gymnastics – thrilling routines in four disciplines!
Disciplines at The World Games 2025: Acrobatic, Aerobic, Parkour, Trampoline
Gymnastics is an artistic sport that requires balance, strength, flexibility, agility, coordination and endurance. Four of the eight different gymnastics disciplines will be included in The World Games 2025.
Acrobatic Gymnastics is a competitive discipline that pushes the boundaries of human agility and performance by harnessing the power of teamwork, coordination and unwavering dedication. Competitions consist of partner performance by Pairs (Women's Pair, Mixed Pair, and Men's Pair) and Groups (Women's Trio and Men's Four). They perform routines showcasing strength, flexibility, dance, balance, and coordination. All exercises must be performed to music, with or without lyrics, on a sprung gymnastics floor measuring 12x12 metres.
Aerobic Gymnastics fuses mainstream Aerobic exercise sequences with gymnastics difficulty elements, original/creative transitions, collaborations and interactions between team members, and lifts. At The World Games, athletes and teams compete in four different squad sizes with two, three, five or eight athletes – the last of these in the format called Aerobic Dance: an aerobic routine is performed to music for up to 90 seconds.
Parkour is a young urban sport, performed outdoors. Athletes aim to get from start to finish in the most efficient way possible without assistive equipment. To overcome obstacles, athletes must make use of a big range of athletic and acrobatic techniques. In the Speed event, athletes must overcome obstacles as quickly as possible. In the Freestyle event, athletes make use of the obstacles to show off their style and creativity to the judges.
The Trampoline discipline has three events: Synchronised Trampoline, Double Mini Trampoline (DMT) and Tumbling. In Synchronised Trampoline, partners must do the same elements at the same time and start facing the same direction. The routines are judged on Difficulty, Execution, Horizontal Displacement and Synchronisation. A pass on the DMT (which is smaller than a regular trampoline and has an angled and a flat section) is characterised by high, continuous rhythmic feet-to-feet rotational jumping elements, without hesitation or intermediate straight bounces. The athletes are judged on Difficulty and Execution. Tumbling (performed on a tumbling track) is characterised by continuous speedy, rhythmic hand(s)-to-feet, and feet-to-feet, rotational jumping elements without hesitation or intermediate steps.
