Women gymnasts must perform their floor routines to music, while men do not have the same requirement. Some say it's time to do away with that rule.

The women will leap and flip and tumble to recorded music. The men's routines will be accompanied by silence.The reason for the disparity dates back almost a century, when female gymnasts competed for the first time at the Olympics and rules for their events were established. Experts in gymnastics say expectations for female athletes were different then.
