gymnastics coloring pages

To the Ancient Greeks, physical fitness was paramount, and all Greek cities had a gymnasia, a courtyard for jumping, running, and wrestling. It is from these ancient exercises that the modern sport of gymnastics evolved. Although the skills of mounting and dismounting a horse have been replaced by the pommel horse, and circus performance skills have been replaced by the balance beam and the high beam, gymnastics are still exercises that require strength, agility and coordination.
