rhythmic gymnastics

Apparatus floor routines

Rhythmic gymnastics is a sport in which athletes perform choreographed routines set to music while manipulating handheld apparatus such as ribbons, hoops, balls, clubs, or ropes.

It combines elements of ballet, dance, and gymnastics, emphasizing grace, flexibility, and coordination over the raw power of artistic gymnastics.

Competitors are judged on both technical execution and artistic expression.
