Gymnastics was inducted at the Youth Olympic Games at the inaugural edition in 2010. Since the first edition, three disciplines are contested: artistic gymnastics and trampoline gymnastics—both for boys and girls, and rhythmic gymnastics only for girls. In 2018, acrobatic gymnastics joined the programme, as well as an international team competition gathering gymnasts from all disciplines.
