If your camera can advance the ISO setting to 800 or higher, then you have a chance of good photos. This will probably take a SLR (changeable lens, through the lens viewfinder) type of camera, such as the Canon Rebel.
The smaller camers simply do not have the light sensitivity to operate at a fast enough shutter (to freeze the action!) and get enough light to make a decent image.
For gymnasts, I think you want at least 1/250 sec shutter, or
better 1/500. If the camera is not light sensitive enough, then
this speed results in a nearly black image. See some
examples of the problems here:
