Back when I was a gymnast ( a few years ago now ) my favourite apparatus was a tie between bars, and floor. Vault, was always the most scary!
To watch gymnastics though I think my favourites are beam and floor.

I'm not a gymnast and to be honest I haven't watched much gymnastics other than in the Olympics, but my favourite would also be the floor.. watching those girls (and guys) flip, toss, and turn like that in the air is really a testiment to the human body...

Aw, a broken arm that is not fun!
I never had any major injury in gymnastics.
I sprained my ankle once but that was just warming up running my foot slipped between two mats.
I also broke a tooth when I was weight training as part of our conditioning and I was tierd, doing sit ups a weight fell on my face.
That was the worest though, and that really was not too bad. It didn't hurt as much as it sounds like it would.

Hi you lot

I'm a guy so I don't really use the women's appartus much but I love watching the balance beam event I amazes me how you ladies can flip, spin and jump on a narrow beam without falling off.

My favourite apparutus comes from the men's competition and they are Floor, High bar and Prommell horse.

Hey girls

could someone tell me the difference between the Aysemetric Bars(A-Bars) and the Unevens Bars?

I'd love to hear your reply

All of them!!;) :p

If I had to give an order though:
1. Floor: I love to dance and show off, and I love the power and beauty of the elite gymnasts.
2. Beam: A fascinating challenge, I also am constantly blown away by the skills performed.(Plus I placed 1st on it during my first competition, so the feeling of loathing has been slightly diminished)
3. Bars: Performing bars for me is a way to prove to myself that I can conquer my fears.
4. Vault: I stink at vault, but I love the adreneline rush from the run up.

I love the Beam. Although it is the most challenging, I would say it's also the most rewarding. It's such a mental event, you have to be very sound to do it.
If I could be a specialist, I would do beam instead of doing all four events. I would just not do any bars at all!
Haha.

The event that I personal think is the best is bars. bars it the event that takes the most strength and training, and to watch can be very graceful. I actually think that bars is a very original event it is the only event that is mostly all upper body.

Im not a gymnast, but for watching I like the floor most. Dislike the bars the most. Vault is pretty cool and balance beam would be 2nd on my list of likes.

My personal favorite is Floor exercises and this is my personal favorite, Olga Korbut with a score of 9.9! just the neatest performance I've seen. http://www.olympic.org/artistic-gymnastics-floor-exercises-women
I also like balance beam.
