Welcome to Gymsymbol

We are ready for the 2022-2024 Code cycle.

With the Tokyo Olympic Games competed and judges courses' soon to begin - the Gymsymbol website has been updated to reflect the skill values assigned in the 2022-2024 version of the Code of Points.

While that Code has not been finalized, we believe that the majority of the skill values in the draft will remain in the final version.

The current Gymsymbol app for studying the skill symbols and values now also reflects the Code in for the 2022-2024 cycle. This includes some skills submitted to F.I.G. and given a value, even if those skills were, in the end, not competed. We feel it is valuable to include these skills as then coaches and athletes may know what a possible skill is valued.

Shorthand Guide for Judges

Looking to learn the symbols from scratch? Study our handy guides and you'll soon understand the basic logic behind the shorthand notation.

Part 1 introduces tumbling skills.

Part 2 covers leaps, jumps hops and turns.

Part 3 extends your knowledge to bars.

Vault

Power takes precedence on vault. All vaults are derived from just a few groups and a core programme covers handspring , Tsukahara  and Yurchenko  vaults.

Bars

A graceful bar routine demands upper-body strength. Achievement at world-class levels begins early and builds on casts , giant swings  and release moves .

Beam

Elegance forged with precision breathes life into a well-balanced beam routine. Commonly used skills on this apparatus include the aerial , layout step-out  and a range of pirouettes .

Floor

A crowd favourite, floor routines creatively combine music and personality to connect the big skills. All routines incorporate various leaps , turns  and acrobatic skills .
