It is challenging because if you don't go for a skill you will get rope climbs. It is also challenging because at competitions you are nerves and are afraid that you will fall of on beam. Finally, it is challenging because you have to do every event every day( Vault,bars,beam and floor).
When you go to competitions you win a trophy. You only get a trophy when it is AA (All Around Score) but for the others you get meddles. AA means all of your scores are added up like if you got a 9.2 on something and a 8.6 on another thing 7.6 on another thing and a 9.8 on another thing you AA score will be 35.200.
You get to hang out with your friends. When you are doing conditioning you get to have a partner for it but you don't have to. I alwase have a partner because if I don't i feel i am the only one there well, except for the noise so i have a partner. We also need a partner for stretching when we have partners we hang out with our friends and talk the hole time.
As you can see i like gymnastics for these reasons hang out with friends, you win trophies and it is challenging.
