Gymnastics appears to be a popular activity in the Czech Republic. We are not sure just how popular it was. As far as we can tell this appears to be an activity persued through sports club rather than schools. Our information is very limited. Nor do we knpw how sports like gymnastics have been affected by the fall of Communism. Communist regimes often strongly supported athletics, including gymnastics. This appears to be in the tradition of German and Austrian sports. A factor may be that Czechoslovakia was once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
