Which category includes events such as diving and gymnastics?

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

Answer: (A)

The main idea is how performance is judged. In form-focused sports, success hinges on the quality of movement, technique, and presentation—how precisely and gracefully the body is controlled, rather than on teamwork, combat, or merely competing against another person.

Diving and gymnastics are classic examples because each performance is scored on execution, form, alignment, and control. Judges look for clean lines, proper technique, precise landings, and the overall display of skill throughout the routine or dive. The emphasis is on the athlete’s movement quality and artistry, not on team coordination or fighting, which is why they’re categorized as form sports.
