So interesting. Bars is by far the easiest event for my DD physically. It's not even close. She is levels ahead on bars compared to the other events. Even release moves are coming pretty quickly. Beam is probably the hardest event for her -- mostly for mental reasons but also because of physical limitations (she is not bendy) -- however vault and floor are no cake walk either due to a general lack of power. So based on our experience, the hardest event is everything but bars!!
As I gymnast, I always found bars to be the easiest. I was one of those gymnasts who was very strong and very powerful but had to work very hard on my flexibility.
So I found beam to be the hardest, I found the tumbling on beam easier, it was getting those split angles that would kill my scores. In this respect I found optional got a little easier than compulsory levels though. In Level 4,5 and 6 (Australia) we needed BOTH a split leap and a split jump in our routines. At optionals we needed to fulfill the leap series, so we,only needed 1 split skill to fulfill the requirements, also in optionals we could use the harder tumbling to beef up scores.
For my DD its vault she just hasnt figured out how to generate Power there but I would say for a lot of her team its Bars.
I answered generally but specific to my d? bars has been the easiest mentally and physically as well. Since she was young, she was considered a natural swinger. Releases even came fairly easily.So interesting. Bars is by far the easiest event for my DD physically. It's not even close. She is levels ahead on bars compared to the other events.

Depends on the kid, but bars is the only non tumbling event . Meaning it’s completely different from the othersGymnastics is hard. But, if you had to guess ONE event that is harder for OPTIONAL gymnasts in general to conquer than any other, what would it be?
Ahh good pointDepends on the kid, but bars is the only non tumbling event . Meaning it’s completely different from the others
Omg me too!For some reason I've always thought you were a male coach. Insert => mindblown smilie here.
