==Other disciplines== The following disciplines are not currently recognized by the [[Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique]]. ===Aesthetic group gymnastics=== {{Main|Aesthetic group gymnastics}} [[File:Команда Grand з естетичної групової гімнастики.jpg|thumb|An aesthetic group gymnastics team performing a routine]] Aesthetic Group Gymnastics (AGG) was developed from the Finnish "naisvoimistelu". It differs from rhythmic gymnastics in that body movement is large and continuous and teams are larger, and athletes do not use apparatus in international AGG competitions. The sport requires physical qualities such as flexibility, balance, speed, strength, coordination and sense of rhythm where movements of the body are emphasized through the flow, expression and aesthetic appeal. A good performance is characterized by uniformity and simultaneity. The competition program consists of versatile and varied body movements, such as body waves, swings, balances, pivots, jumps and leaps, dance steps, and lifts. The International Federation of Aesthetic Group Gymnastics (IFAGG) was established in 2003.<ref name="Lajiesittely">[http://www.voimistelu.fi/voimistelutoiminta/lajit/joukkuevoimistelu/lajiesittely/ Lajiesittely] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140621192730/http://www.voimistelu.fi/voimistelutoiminta/lajit/joukkuevoimistelu/lajiesittely/ |date=21 June 2014 }}, Suomen Voimisteluliitto.</ref> The first Aesthetic Group Gymnastics World Championships was held in 2000.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ifagg.com/competition/world-championships/|title=World Championships {{!}} IFAGG|language=en-US|access-date=7 October 2019|archive-date=19 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200819075838/http://www.ifagg.com/competition/world-championships/}}</ref> ===TeamGym=== {{Main|TeamGym}} [[File:2016-EM Maribor Oeft Team Team Turnen Herren mit TS Wolfurt in Aktion.jpg|thumb|A TeamGym performance on floor]] TeamGym is a form of competition created by the [[European Union of Gymnastics]], originally named EuroTeam.

The word also refers to the pole used in the sport. Mallakhamba derives from the terms ''malla'' which denotes a wrestler and ''khamba'' which means a pole. Mallakhamba can therefore be translated to English as "pole gymnastics".<ref>{{cite news|title=Indian roots to gymnastics|url=http://sports.ndtv.com/othersports/athletics/34909-indian-roots-to-gymnastics|newspaper=NDTV – Sports|date=6 December 2007|location=Mumbai, India|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140610183625/http://sports.ndtv.com/othersports/athletics/34909-indian-roots-to-gymnastics|archive-date=10 June 2014}}</ref> On 9 April 2013, the Indian state of [[Madhya Pradesh]] declared mallakhamba as the state sport.
