Basics of Woman's Gymnastics
There are four main events. Floor, Beam, Bars, and Vault
However, since the uneven bars were so new, women had the option of competing on uneven or parallel bars. In fact, only the Czechoslovakian gymnasts opted for the uneven bars. By 1954, the uneven bars had replaced the parallel bars for women

gymnasts run on an 82-foot mat and vault over a 4-foot-high apparatus. When they are in the air, gymnasts must perform twists and turns to raise their score. As in the other events, vaults with higher degrees of difficulty can receive more points. Additionally, gymnasts must stick the landing without stumbling, otherwise they face point deductions.

Gymnasts perform their floor exercise on a 39-square-foot mat, and stepping off the mat at any time results in point deductions. The floor exercise routine highlights a gymnast’s agility, strength and stamina. More difficult leaps and tumbles will typically garner higher scores if the gymnast performs the routine well.

Only female gymnasts compete in the balance beam. This event was a latecomer to the gymnastics world. In the late 18th century, Johan GutsMuths began using a tree trunk to teach young gymnasts to balance. Over the years, this simple concept turned into its own event. The beam was not incorporated as a formal gymnastics event until 1934 at the first women’s gymnastics world championships. As the sport evolved, the beam was widened from 8 centimeters to 10 centimeters. It has always been 5 meters long. In recent years, padding was added to the end of the beam for safety.

Scoring Systems
Scores in gymnastics have two elements: a difficulty score, which adds up the points value of all the skills and combinations in a routine, and an execution score, which does start at 10 and then deducts points for mistakes like wobbles and falls.

Vault scores are usually announced the fastest — and often seem the highest — because it's the fastest event, so there are fewer possible deductions. A typical vault takes about seven seconds, according to The Gymternet, as opposed to 90 seconds for a floor routine.
