    Olympic champion Max Whitlock and the British team that competed at the Tokyo Games are all resting.

    Georgia-Mae Fenton and 16-year-old Ruby Stacey, taking part in her first major championships, compete in the women's events whilst the six-strong men's team features four-time European medallist Courtney Tulloch, 2016 Olympian Brinn Bevan, 2018 European floor champion Dom Cunningham and the current British all-around champion Joshua Nathan.

    They are joined by major championship debutants Hayden Skinner and Joe Cemlyn-Jones.

    World Championships do not usually take place in Olympic years but last year's event was postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic.

    Gymnasts will compete for all-around and individual apparatus titles but there is no team event this year.

    Three exercises that look easier than they are!

    Artistic is probably the most well-known form of gymnastics. Women tackle four activities, with men taking on six. These include the vault (run and spring over box), the rings (hoops suspended from the ceiling), the bars (parallel frames to swing between) among others. These activities involve you balancing and performing moves.

    Rhythmic involves performing a routine to music whilst waving a ribbon or balancing a hula-hoop round your hands, feet or neck.

    Acrobatic is the most energetic of all the types of gymnastics. You perform a routine combined of jumps, lifts or lunges, either in pairs or in a group.

    Not sure what style of gymnastics is for you? With 15 different types, all with varying levels of difficulty, there is bound to be one to suit you.

    ,, and Gymnastics have tools to help you find the gymnastic activity that suits you.
