Gymnastics well known as RG . It is the most beautiful sport in the world
. it's sometimes difficult for the amateur to understand, due to the seemingly
mpenetrable ways of the Code of Points! However, on a closer look, one
notices that this discipline hinges on clear and simple principles and
rules compiled with the sole aim of furthering the creativity of gymnasts
and preserving the objectivity of judgment .

- Rhythmic Gymnastics Apparatus -
| This
is made of rubber or plastic, with a diameter of 18 cm to 20 cm and a weight
of at least 400gm. The ball is the only apparatus for which no grip is
allowed. This means that a more sensuous relationships between the body
and the apparatus is required. The ball moves in perfect harmony with the
body. Spectacular throws with control and precision in the catches are
dynamic elements. |
| The
rope may be of hemp or any synthetic material. Its length is proportionate
to the height of the gymnast. It has knots rather than handles at its ends.
Technical figures may be made with the rope either taut or loose, with
one or both hands, with or without change of hand. The relationship between
the apparatus and the gymnast is more explosive than in the other cases.
The rope often appears as a serpent-like attacker seizing and winding around
the gymnast. But suppleness and agility, tinged with elegance, always win
out in the end. |
| The
stick (diameter 1cm, length of 50 to 60cm), is usually made of wood, bamboo,
plastic or fiberglass. The ribbon is most often of satin,or a non starched
derivative. Its weight must not be more than 35gm, its width 4 - 6cm and
its length not more than 6m. The ribbon is long and light and may be thrown
in all directions. Its function is to create designs in space. Its flights
through the air make images and shapes of every kind. Figures of many different
sizes are executed at varying rhythms. Snakes, spirals and throws are the
essentials of the ribbon's flight. |
| This
is made of wood or plastic, with an inside diameter of 80cm to 90cm and
a weight of at least 300gm. It must be rigid, of non bending material.
The hoop defines a space. This space is used to the utmost by the gymnast,
who moves within the circle formed. Handling the hoop requires frequent
changes of grip, and the main requirement is good movement co-ordination.
The shape of the hoop favors rolls, passages, rotations and walkovers. |
| These
are made of wood or plastic, with a length of 40 cm to 50 cm and a weight
of at least 150gm each.Slight of hand. The gymnast uses the clubs to execute
mills, rolls, twists, throws and as many asymmetric figures as possible,
combining them with the many figures featured in non apparatus gymnastics.
Exercises with the clubs require a highly developed sense of rhythm, maximum
psychomotor co-ordination and precision up to match-making standards. The
clubs are particularly suited to ambidextrous gymnasts. |
