Rhythmic Gymnastics
Rhythmic Gymnastics has been around since the early 20th century, but first became an Olympic event in 1984. Rhythmic gymnastics is an interesting sport because it is for women only. Sports until the second half of the 20th century were generally the province of men. When it was created in the early 20th century, rhythmic gymnastics gave female athletes a chance to perform athletic maneuvers that combined strength, dance excellence, and athletic artistry. Rhythmic gymnastics, as an event, is a combination of gymnastics and dance. Rhythmic gymnastics includes exercises and athletic routines where a female athlete performs athletic and dance maneuvers while using other props such as ribbons, clubs, oops, and ropes. When performing their routines, the female athletes perform a series of moves such as somersaults and jumps while waving there other props fluidly and gracefully. Rhythmic gymnastics, as an event, is both physically challenging and artistically spectacular. Rhythmic gymnastics was created in Sweden and Germany, and it is designed to be one continuous dance and athletic routine that combines a series of rhythmic, fluid movements. The sport started to build momentum in the mid-19th century, and the International Gymnastics Federation (IGF) recognized it as an independent sport in 1962. It has been any Olympic event since 1984.
Rhythmic Gymnastics Competitions: rhythmic gymnastics is performed with five accessories: rope, all, who, ribbon, and clubs. Rhythmic gymnastics has individual and team events. This sport also has group events, where a number of performers run through their routines together. In non-group events, gymnasts perform their routines alone, as the only athlete on the platform. In team competition, the scores of all the athletes on the team are added together. The 30 best athletes in each event take part in the individual competitions. In the individual competition, the athlete with most points wins. The top eight gymnasts on each apparatus qualify for the apparatus finals. In group events, all five athletes perform their events using the same apparatuses, and then with two different apparatuses. The winner of the general competition is the group with the best overall score, while the finals competition involves the best eight groups on each exercise.
The main components of rhythmic gymnastics include athletic feats such as running, jumping, and somersaults. Specific fluid movements of the various apparatuses are also included. All of the gymnasts' movements are performed while holding the apparatuses. Some of the basic body movements include the jump, spin, layback, and general balance. With the ribbon apparatus, the athlete continues to twirl the ribbon at all points in the routine. The ribbon is about 60 cm long, and connected to a wand that the athlete whirls go to the in a circular motion to create a continuous pattern of curves and spirals. With the clubs, the athlete holds and twirls two clubs that are about 40 to 50 cm long, with each weighing approximately 150 g. The athlete goes through routine while twirling the clubs in her hands and periodically throwing them up in the air. With the ball apparatus, the athlete goes through a series of acrobatic movements while holding the ball. At other points in the ball routine, the athlete tosses the ball high in the air and makes effortless catches. The rope apparatus is nearly the same height as the athlete and dancer.
