Figure 1.--Here we have a Japanese gymnastics team participasting in a competition in Austria. |

We note images of Japanese boys doing gymnastics. The programs seem very similar to Western programs. Presumably Olympic competitive rules have helped standardize gymnastic programs in countries around the world. Some of this is done at school in gym classess. Notice the boys here practing their gynastic roytines as part of a school sports day (figure 1). We notice other boys doing more sophisticated gymnastic work. We are not sure, however, if this is club or school gymastics. We think that many of these clubs are club gymnastics.
