Gymnastics has been an Olympic sport since 1896 for men and 1928 for women, and today encompasses artistic, rhythmic, trampoline, acrobatic, and aerobic disciplines. This quiz covers apparatus and scoring, legends from Nadia Comaneci to Simone Biles, the Kohei Uchimura era, and the sport's modern history.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll explore the six men's and four women's artistic apparatus, the balance beam's precise dimensions, Nadia Comaneci's 1976 perfect tens, the modern D-score + E-score system, Simone Biles's signature skills, Larisa Latynina's 18 medals, rhythmic gymnastics, and the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci scored the first perfect 10.0 in Olympic gymnastics history at the 1976 Montreal Games, on the uneven bars, at age 14. She went on to earn seven perfect 10s at those Games.
A regulation balance beam is 10 centimeters (about 4 inches) wide, 5 meters long, and stands 125 centimeters off the floor.
Men compete on six apparatus: floor exercise, pommel horse, still rings, vault, parallel bars, and horizontal bar. Women compete on four: vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise.
