Hi! I understand there is a standard height on uneven bars. And I understand there is FIG and big spread between bars for elite vs collegiate. But what is the actual measurement of FIG? Is FIG 4’3” and big is 5’11?
Thanks for all the help! I’m learning!
This is on the International Gymnastics Federation's (FIG) Education Youtube channel from July 2, 2021!

I keep seeing a cat leap linked to free cartwheel on the beam. A top club has proudly posted one of their young elites doing this combination tonight. But I can't see any connection or bonus for it if the rules are that it must be D + A in that order. My DD enjoys doing it, but can't tell me...
I was wondering why is the women’s all around final geoblocked on fig channel and if they’re going to remove the geoblock later? I noticed that the men’s all around final isn’t geoblocked. Why on earth is women’s? I tried to record the broadcast on my tv but for some reason it only recorded 37...
Can anyone provide me an idea of what the European standard of scoring is and what does it mean? DD just had her first competition in Finland after a season competing in the US and the scoring seemed much tougher than what she is used to. Last year, she scored mostly in the 9's with occasional...
Did anyone else see this change from FIG? Given the recent popularity of American Ninja Warrior with former elite and NCAA gymnasts, I wonder if some "old timers" will get active with this.

FIG rules say you can't have "Disney" music for your routine. Marvel is owned by Disney - does the music from The Avengers, Iron Man etc. count? I couldn't find anything, except an Avengers theme cut for floor music use on YouTube and someone else saying they'd used it without issue.
It's possible my brain is misfiring.... can someone please explain these two items from the Q&A. The second one doesn't make sense to me... Doesn't the country still select the specialists spots for the 6 they would bring?

Hi all, anyone here attended the FIG level 2 academy?
I have a gymnast entering level 7 so need to get a senior coaching qualification, but this year they said the senior qualification is being replaced with the academy and if i pass that, I get the senior qualification as well.

Hi!
I posted a similar question a couple years ago, but I was asking about JO. Now I am interested in elite requirements.
Is there a particular brand springboard that is required for use in FIG competition? Which board is used most commonly? What about spring configurations and number of...
Can anyone explain the differences please between the USAG and FIG scoring.
I've heard on here a few times it's different.
And then I've seen videos etc where I can't work out the scoring.
Eg things like beam - a fall is a 1pt deduction. So that with any other deductions means at least...
I am trying to learn a little about FIG requirements. I know that this is the standard for international gymnastics settings and scoring, and that is about it. What exactly is FIG? Can anyone expain to me what the FIG settings are for each apparatus (WAG) and how often do these settings get...
About how far about are the bars when they are on FIG? Our gym has 2 settings, FIG and wide, and my little dd is having trouble jumping to and holding on to the high bar on FIG. We just measured her and she is now 42 inches tall. Should she be able to jump on FIG? They are working hard on...
