Rhythmic Gymnastics
An Olympic discipline combining ballet, gymnastics and apparatus – rope, hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon.
Rhythmic gymnastics is an Olympic sport where grace meets strength. To music, gymnasts perform routines with five apparatus – rope, hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon. Every routine is a story told through movement. This sport builds flexibility, coordination, endurance and strength – but also discipline, confidence and artistry that last a lifetime.
THE FIVE APPARATUS
Rope, hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon. The youngest also perform routines without apparatus. Each apparatus demands a different technique and develops different qualities – from the coordination of the rope to the fluidity of the ribbon.
INDIVIDUAL, GROUP, TEAM
Three competition formats. Individual gymnasts perform 4 routines with 4 different apparatus. Groups – 5 gymnasts – perform two routines with the same or different apparatus. The team ranking combines the results of the whole club.
WHO IT'S FOR
Children under 9 · Children under 11 · Pre-juniors · Juniors · Seniors. We take children from age 5–6. For younger children (from age 3), we recommend "Gymnastics for All" as a preparatory stage.
LEVELS
Four competition categories for all ages: Elite (the highest level), Category A, Category B and Category C for beginners. Each level offers the right challenges for a gymnast's development.
HOW IT'S JUDGED
Routines are judged by a panel under the International Code of Points for rhythmic gymnastics. They assess the difficulty of body and apparatus elements, the quality of performance, and artistry.
WHERE THEY COMPETE
Olympic Games, World and European Championships, World Cups, National Championships and international tournaments. Our gymnasts compete at national and international level.
