Rhythmic Gymnastics
A Brief Overview:
Rhythmic Gymnastics
is another type of competitive gymnastics for women, in which acrobatic
skills are not used. The rhythmic gymnast performs graceful, dancelike
movements while holding and moving items such as a ball, hoop, rope, ribbon,
or Indian clubs, with musical accompaniment.
Routines are performed
individually or in group performances for five gymnasts. Gymnastic competitions
are judged and scored on both an individual and a team basis. Each competitor
must accomplish a required number of specific types of moves on each piece
of equipment.
Judges award points
to each participant in each event on a 0-to-10 scale, 10 being perfect.
Judging is strictly subjective; however, guidelines are provided for judges
so that they can arrive at relatively unbiased scores. Usually there are
four judges, & the highest and lowest scores are dropped to provide a
more objective evaluation.
Gymnasts try to perform
the most difficult routines in the most graceful way, thus impressing
the judges with their mastery of the sport.
