Gymnastics

Gymnastics is not very popular in our country but with T&T representation at the last Olympics, there seem to be more interest now. Marisa Dick is the first T&T national to represent us at the Olympic games.

A little history....

Gymnastics is a sport involving the performance of exercises requiring balance, strength, flexibility, agility, endurance and control. The movements involved in gymnastics contribute to the development of the arms, legs, shoulders, chest and abdominal muscle groups. Alertness, precision, daring, self-confidence and self-discipline are mental traits that can also be developed through gymnastics.  Gymnastics evolved from exercises used by the ancient Greeks that included skills for mounting and dismounting a horse, and from circus performance skills.
