Women's artistic gymnastics are performed on equipments such as: uneven bars, balance beam, vault and floor excercise. In this article, I will focus on rhythmic gymnastics, which is a beautiful,graceful but challenging sport.
Rhythmic gymnastics is a sport that combines elements of ballet, gymastics, dance, and apparatus manipulation. It has a lot more dance than artistic gymnastics. Everything is done on the floor with different routines and music. It is such a little known and hardly recognized sport in the US.
The athletes manipulate one or two apparatus such as: a rope, hoop, ball, clubs, ribben and Free (no apparatus also called "floor routine"). Gymnasts perform jumps, tosses, leaps and other moves with different types of apparatus. They are judged more on their grace, dance ability and coordination than their power of tumbling ability.
