Diving or gymnastics are examples of which sport category?

• A. Form sport
• B. Team sport
• C. Contact sport
• D. Individual sport

Answer: (A)

Form-focused evaluation centers on movement quality and artistic execution, with scores reflecting technique, control, and presentation rather than competing against an opponent. Diving and gymnastics fit this because judges award points for how cleanly each movement is performed—body lines, alignment, balance, height, and the difficulty of the routine—rather than for beating a rival. Even in events that involve teammates, the emphasis remains on the quality of the performance and the precision of form. They aren’t about making contact with opponents, and while some events can be done solo, the defining idea is the importance of flawless form and execution.
