Gymnastics at the Mediterranean Games

Hey there kiddo! Have you ever heard of the Mediterranean Games? It's a really big sports event where countries around the Mediterranean Sea compete against each other! One of the sports that is played at the Mediterranean Games is gymnastics.

Gymnastics is when people do really cool things like flips, jumps, and twists on mats or equipment called apparatus. There are two types of gymnastics: artistic gymnastics and rhythmic gymnastics.

Artistic gymnastics is where people do things like flips and jumps on the floor, balance on beams, swing on bars, and do really cool things on a big vault where they run really fast and jump off a springy board!

On the other hand, rhythmic gymnastics is where people do cool things with ribbons, hula hoops, balls, and even clubs! They dance around and do balances with these items while moving really gracefully.

At the Mediterranean Games, gymnastics is a really important sport and lots of athletes come from different countries to compete! They show off all the amazing things they can do with their bodies and perform to win medals for their countries.

And that's it, kiddo! Gymnastics is a really fun and exciting sport to watch, and it takes a lot of hard work and practice to be good at it!
