Counter tension is when gymnasts perform a balance which involves two or more of them pulling away from each other (or a piece of aparatus), where the weight is not even, whereas counter balance is when a move is balanced (like a sea-saw) or like when a gymnast performs an arabesque, the front and back of their body counter-balance one another.
