What is it?

• Gymnastics is a sport involving the performance
  of sequences of movements requiring physical
  strength, flexibility, and kinesthetic awareness,
  such as handsprings and handstands. It developed
  from fitness exercises used by ancient Greek
  soldiers, including skills for mounting and
  dismounting a horse, and circus performance
  skills.
