Gymnastics

This book introduces elementary readers to gymnastics at the Summer Games. It covers the three Olympic forms of the sport, artistic, rhythmic, and trampoline, and looks at the strength and power athletes need to win gold, from high-flying routines on the apparatus to choreographed movement on the floor.

Action photographs and straightforward text explain the sport's Olympic history, its equipment, and the ways it is performed, whether individually or as a team. A biographical story follows Suni Lee, a Hmong-American gymnast who performed the most difficult uneven bars routine in the world at Tokyo 2020.

Photo captions and on-page definitions support reading comprehension, and the book ends with extra resources and an index.
