french

So I have noticed around the site that some of you are from Canada and you guys speak french. I'm in honors french IV in my high school and twice per grading period every has to give a couple minute speech about something, and of course what always pops into my head is gymnastics. Do you guys know how to say the names of the events in french? I doubt my teacher would know, and a translator would probably make me say something really off with a bizarre translation.

That link would be awesome! I take HS French too and even my teacher doesn't know what the words are.

Merci beaucoup. C'est hyper chouette! Je les utiliserai beaucoup pour parler avec mon ami de la classe de francais. (Il faisait la gymnastique, mais pas de plus).

Thought I'd type in French to prove my savvy!!lol

Thanks! I skipped a year of French at school because I learn very quickly.
