Greece.
In the 5th century BC, in the slave society of the ancient Greeks out of the annexation of the need for war, all the means of physical exercise collectively referred to as gymnastics (dance, horseback riding, running, jumping, etc.). As these activities are naked, so the ancient Greek word “gymnastics” is “naked”. The narrow sense of gymnastics is derived from this.

Women’s gymnastics competitions began to appear as late as 1934, and by 1958 the four women’s gymnastics events were formed, namely vault, uneven bars, balance beam and free gymnastics. Since then, the approach to competitive gymnastics has been more fixed.
