Olympics Rhythmic Gymnastics Tickets Information

Olympics Rhythmic Gymnastics
Rhythmic gymnastics combines elements of ballet, gymnastics, theatrical dance, and apparatus manipulation. It has single competitors or pairs, trios or even more manipulate one or two apparatuses: Ball, Clubs, Hoop, Ribbon, and Rope. The victor is the participant who earns the most points, by a panel of judges, for leaps, balances, pivots, flexibility, apparatus handling, and artistic effect.

International competitions are split between juniors, under sixteen by their year of birth; and seniors, for girls 16 and over again by their year of birth. Gymnasts typically start training at a very young age and those at their peak are typically in their late teens or early twenties. The largest events in the sport are the Olympic Games, World Championships, and Grand-Prix Tournaments.

Rhythmic gymnastics grew out of the ideas of I.G. Noverre (1722-1810), Francois Delsart (1811-1871), and R. Bode (1881), who all believed in movement expression, using dance to express oneself and exercise various body parts. Peter Henry Ling further developed this idea in his 19th-century Swedish system of free exercise, which promoted "aesthetic gymnastics", where students expressed their feelings and emotions through bodily movement. In 1929, Henrich Medau founded The Medau School in Berlin to train gymnasts in "modern gymnastics", and to develop the use of the apparatus.

Rhythmic gymnastics as a sport began in the 1940s in the Soviet Union. It was there for the first time, the spirit of sports was combined with the sensuous art of classical ballet. The FIG recognized this discipline in 1961, first as modern gymnastics, then as rhythmic sportive gymnastics, and finally as rhythmic gymnastics. The first World Championships for individual gymnasts took place in 1963 in Budapest, Hungary. Groups were introduced in 1967 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Rhythmic gymnastics was added to the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, with an Individual All Around competition. However, many federations from the Eastern European countries were forced to boycott. The Canadian Lori Fung was the first rhythmic gymnast to earn an Olympic gold medal. The Group competition was added to the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia.

The gymnasts are expected to use the entire floor area in their routines and their work with the apparatus balanced between each hand equally. The apparatus has to stay in constant motion or points will be deducted. There are three separate panels of judges, one each for the three different elements of the performance. One panel takes into account the degree of difficulty in a routine, another considers the choreography and artistry, and the third evaluates how well the routine was executed and how many technical mistakes were made.

Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus took the team honors at the 2003 world championships. Alina Kabaeva of Russia grabbed the gold in the all-around. Yulia Barsoukova of Russia won the 2000 Olympic all-around gold, while her home team took the top group medal.
