All-Around

By , About.com Guide

Definition: The term all-around simply means all of the different gymnastics apparatus.

All-around results would be the total of all four events in women's gymnastics and rhythmic gymnastics, or all six events in men's gymnastics.

An all-arounder is a gymnast who competes on every apparatus. In team finals of the Olympics, for example, not all gymnasts compete every event. Those who do are the all-arounders.
Also Known As: all-round
