Is Men's gymnastics artistic?

A great discussion going on at the Gymnastics Coaching blog on artistry raises some important questions, especially since Nelli Kim mentioned there may be a future need for harmonisation between the men's and women's Codes.  I have a few thoughts to elaborate on this subject, but office politics (groan) and student assessment must take first place at present.

In the meantime, I'll provide you with a link to this excellent discussion.
