Women Compete in 4 events:
-Vault: the routine is the same as the men's event, except the horse, similar to that used by men, is lowered and approached sideways.
-Uneven Bars: a routine performed on a set of two bars. The routine demands continuous swinging and vaulting over and under, and between the bars with the formal mounting and dismounting
-Balance beam: a routine performed on a a single wooden beam 4" wide. The routine consists of tumbling moves, half turns and full turns, jumps and leaps. A formal dismount is required.
-Floor Exercise: a routine performed without apparatus on a square floor mat. The routine is similar to the men's flor exercise except that it is performed to music.
