| Summary: | In Slovenia gymnastics is covered on public and private television. Gymnastics in comparison to other sports is not very often shown on screens. The aim of our study is to find out, ‘How future physical education teachers evaluate gymnastics according to their gender and sport knowledge.’ We used 111 first grade students as a sample (76 males and 35 females). These students did not have any previous gymnastics experience. They had to complete a questionnaire where they evaluated gymnastics characteristics and also compared their interest for gymnastics with other individual and team sports popular in Slovenia. Results show that gymnastics especially on male student’s opinion is not very popular, female students like it more. Most of the students prefer to watch other popular sports. Student’s grades of gymnastics characteristics which are according to previous researches not what audience require. The expected conclusion is that gymnastics is one of less popular and lower rated sports in Slovenia. This is shown by the rating data from RTV Slovenia, even though Slovene gymnasts have always achieved good results and been very successful in international area.
