Gymnastics
Description
Gymnastics is a sport involving physical strength, agility and coordination to perform the skill.
The Raffles Gymnastics Team was founded in 1886 by J.B. Hullet. The team had their training in the gymnasium which is directly below the school hall.
In February 1971, the stage in the old school hall was burnt down, the fire destroyed the gymnasium. The Ministry of Education undertook to restore the gymnasium, and, in the Interim, the school gymnasts did their training at the Extra-Curricular Activities Centre of the Ministry.
Today, our RI gymnasts are very proud of their up-to-date gymnasium. The Present Gymnasium is well equipped with fairly new apparatus. It is situated at the Design Centre on the second level.
Competition events fall into two categories: Artistic Gymnastics and Trampoline. Artistic events are performed on apparatus. Gymnasts compete in floor, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars, and horizontal bars. Trampoline is performed on the trampoline bed. The competition includes individual all-around events and team events.
