The first thing that comes to our mind when we hear gymnastics is the
general sport gymnastics where men and women perform on vault, parallel bars, beam
and so on. How about Rhythmic Gymnastics?
Rhythmic Gymnastics is the beauty of the sport. It is combination of
gymnastics, dance, ballet with music and passion. It can be seen in individual performances
as well as group of five. This type of gymnastics is only performed by girls.
There are five different apparatus that girls can perform with: ribbon, ball,
clubs, rope and hoop. The group performance can be with two different apparatus,
whereas the individual is with one only.
Rhythmic gymnastics also requires flexibilities,
balance, pivots in a combination of choreography and music and artistic
performance.

To craft so many areas of art, sport and dance girl need to start training
between 3 and 6 years old. Latter on it gets more and more difficult for a girl
to catch up.
Rhythmic Gymnastics` first competition was in Budapest in 1964.
From the start the dominance in that sport was in the hands of Eastern
Europe. The constant battle for the 1st place was mostly seen
between the Soviet Union and Bulgaria until the collapse of the Union in 1990.
Today`s Rhythmic Gymnastics exist and develops in many countries and continents
although in some counties is underdeveloped and at a beginning level, however it`s
popularity grows and expands.
Some of the counties with traditions in gymnastics are still on the world
stage but new ones are emerging. The competition and the level of performance
has grown and watching such a show is exiting and intriguing.
