My favorite event is the balance beam, second is floor exercise, third is uneven bars, and I like vault the least. Vaulting just looks boring to me even when I see it live. Beam and bars look fascinating to me, however. What's your favorite event in gymnastics and why?

My favorite event has always been the balance beam. This routine defines a great gymnast! It takes a lot of concentration to achieve perfection with grace and difficulty on this event. Great beam workers on my list includes Yang Bo, Liu Xuan, Shawn Johnson, Anna Pavlova, Nastia Liukin, Shannon Miller, Tatiana Lysenko, Tatiana Gutsu, Tatiana Groshkova, Olga Korbut and Daniela Silivas.

You are right, those are wonderfully talented performers on the beam. Have you seen Natalia Shaposhnikova on beam? She was amazing too and very innovative. Korbut and Comaneci too were amazing on the beam.

I love watching the floor exercise best as I like the mixture of dance and gymnastics and I enjoy seeing them interpret the music. I love all the apparatus too, gymnastics is a wonderful sport to watch.

I am new to gymnastics. I like the uneven bars most and then the balance beam.Vault and floor are okay but the other two have a element of danger mixed with artistry. The same elements figure skating has.I have been watching figure skating for decades but I started watching gymnastics in 2000.

Balance beam, balance beam, balance beam!!! I loved so much doing balance beam, the smooth turns, most controlled handstands, and then backhandsprings and back walkovers. I haven't been on a balance beam in many years, but that one also needs the last strong cardio, perhaps, since floor was very hard for me, as I'd be huffinng and puffing. But I love watching floor and dancing on it. I loved tumbling, but would just be knocked out from the hard energy needed. Vault was fun, but I suppose not as exciting as other events, even bars, since it is more of a single pass (unlike all other events that have full routines).

A long time ago, when I was a gymnast, I enjoyed doing uneven bars the most. 2nd was floor exercise, 3rd vault and last was balance beam. I was no where near good enough to compete nationally, but I did compete locally. Bars was always the most fun to me. The thrill of letting go of the bar while you do a flip was so exciting! I was terrified of falling off the beam so that of course was my least favorite of all events. Now days, when I watch other people, I still like uneven bars the most. Then balance beam, floor exercise & vault.
