How those gal's do backflips and land on a balance beam is unbelievable.

Actually
They start on floor level on a flat beam and work there way to an actual height beam
I had a stint as a gymnast as a kid. Most will laugh but gymnastics is one of the most physically demanding sports. I tore an acl at 10 during a vault routine. As I got older moved to the major sports. Always said I wished I would have stuck with it.
but to answer the op, they don’t just start out on a balance beam. The flip technique is taught first on trampoline and foam pit. Then progressed to a Mat on top of the pit. They slowly work their way up. The vault you will see Simone biles do in the Olympics can only be done by her. It’s taken her 6 years to perfect it I think I saw.

Definitely agree.!! Daughter also competed in gymnastics. She had multiple broken bones, some including pins and screws!! First thing she would ask Dr. when leaving office would be, when can I could compete again? They are definitely different!!!!
