    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    The first non-competive balance beams were actually rounded tree trunks that measured up to 64 feet long and nearly 10 inches in diameter. Competitive balance beams today, like those used in Olympic gymnastic competitions, are 10 centimeters, or about four inches wide.
