Where to find live results and event coverage

Major events to watch: the African Artistic and Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships, the African Games, Commonwealth Games and the Olympics. For live scores and start lists check the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) site and national federation pages. Many federations stream events on YouTube or Facebook Live — follow your national gymnastics body and event organizers for direct links.

Quick, useful notes for fans and beginner gymnasts

How scoring works in a sentence: routines get a Difficulty score (what the gymnast attempts) and an Execution score (how cleanly they perform). Higher D plus high E usually wins. If you’re watching a contest, focus on landings and form — those are where scores change fast.

Want to try gymnastics? Find a club that uses progressive training: basic tumbling, strength, flexibility, then apparatus skills. Ask about coach qualifications and safety measures like mats and spotting. For parents: check class size, coach-to-child ratio, and whether the club works with local competitions.

Simple training tips: warm up each session, build core strength (planks, hollow holds), and work flexibility slowly. Don’t rush advanced skills — consistent basics prevent injuries and speed up real progress.

If you follow athletes, watch for rising names from regional meets — Africa has growing talent pools across countries. We highlight standout performances, medal counts, and athletes who might appear at world events. Got a local meet result or a gymnast we should profile? Send tips and photos to our newsroom.
