What's the difference between mens and womens Olympic gymnastics?

I suggest like the contests. I am viewing mens right now (John Horton is amazing!) and noticed the large bar and rings.but did not see the women do this before. So which do the men do? and what tournaments do the girls do do?

Also, is there any specific reason there is a difference?

AND OMG, Justin Spring earned a higher problem rating on the high bar…that was remarkable!!

Answer #1

Ladies compete on the Uneven Bars, Ray, Vault and Floor.

Guys compete on Parallel Bars, Vault, crossfit rings, Large Bar, Flooring and Pommel horse.

They will have different occasions for women and men because men are more muscular / stronger than females. The women are more elastic compared to males so they need to have so separate occasions.
