Coomera Indoor Sports Gymnastics - Centre (CSC) Artistic Sport History Gymnastics – Artistic Origins and the sport today: Dating back to the ancient Olympic Games, Friedrich Ludwig JAHN (GER) formulated the first set of rules for group- based exercise in the early 19th century. Today, the sport is governed by the Federation Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG). Artistic gymnastics was part of the first Olympics of the modern era in Athens in 1896, while the first FIG Gymnastics World Championship took place in Antwerp in 1903. Today, the 148 affiliated federations worldwide have a combined members total estimated at about 50 million, with almost 6000 licensed to compete at the elite level. The sport took on a much higher profile when Nadia COMANECI (ROU) and Nellie KIM (URS) scored perfect scores of 10 at the Montreal 1976 Olympics. Judging has also evolved, with judges separated into D (difficulty) and E (execution) panels in order to mark the content and quality of each display – a panel of reference judges (RJS) is also on hand. Artistic gymnastics at the Commonwealth Games: Artistic gymnastics is an optional sport at the Commonwealth Games, meaning it is up to the host federation to decide whether it should be on the program. Artistic gymnastics has been part of the Commonwealth Games since Edmonton 1978, although it was not at the Brisbane 1982 and Edinburgh 1986 Games. In the all-around discipline, Max WHITLOCK (ENG) is the defending Commonwealth Games men’s champion, along with his English compatriots in the team event. Both men’s and women’s events consist of team and individual all-around competitions. The apparatus finals are as follows: Men – floor exercise, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars and horizontal bar. Women – floor exercise, uneven bars, balance beam and vault. Artistic gymnastics in Australia: The national governing body for gymnastics in Australia (Gymnastics Australia) was established in 1949 and has more than 156,000 registered members, following 13 years of athlete membership growth. Ashleigh BRENNAN was part of the Australian team that won Commonwealth Games gold in both Melbourne 2006 and Delhi 2010. She also achieved a silver in the floor exercise in 2006 and bronze in the floor exercise in 2010. Daria JOURA is another female Australian gymnast who was a triple senior all-around champion and competed at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. For the men, Joshua JEFFERIS was a parallel bars and rings specialist who won gold at the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games in the all-around event, gold in the rings and silver in the team competition. At the Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games, he helped Australia win their first gold in the men’s team event, took individual gold on parallel bars, and bronze in the all-around event. .

AIS and Black Dog Partner to Improve Mental Fitness in Young Australians
AIS and Black Dog partner to improve mental fitness in young Australians 27th July 2020 EMBARGOED UNTIL 10AM MONDAY 27TH JULY 2020 Australian Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games athletes are joining the fight to help reduce rates of mental health issues in young children as part of a new community partnership between the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and Black Dog Institute. Designed to help young people manage their mental health and improve their general wellbeing, the Mental Fitness Program will see 27 current and former elite athletes assist in delivering mental wellbeing presentations, both in-person and online, at high schools throughout the country. Mental Fitness Program presenter and Commonwealth Games gold medal winning boxer Harry Garside said his personal experience with mental health education at school was a game-changer. “I wanted to get involved in the Mental Fitness Program because I know firsthand that these workshops can have a significant impact and change the course of a young person’s life,” said Mr Garside. “As an elite athlete, I want to role model behaviour that promotes self-care and positive psychology to help improve the wellbeing and resilience of young Australians.” In Australia, it is estimated that 1 in 5 people will experience symptoms of mental illness in any given year, and approximately 60% of those people won’t seek help. Over 75 per cent of mental health issues develop before the age of 25 which shows the importance of tackling the subject from an early age. Black Dog Institute Director and Chief Scientist Helen Christensen said the ability to bring sport and community together to teach meaningful life skills was needed now more than ever.
