Not bad at all. The main things I see with them is they need to be a little cleaner with their exchanges. I saw several instances where one or more athlete had to move way out of position to make the catch. But not bad. They're very young so stands to reason that they'll improve with time.
Wow! That was incredible! And beautiful, too. I wonder if you have to have long legs to be a rhythmic gymnast or if there are ever any girls who have shorter legs like the artistic gymnasts.
+Lisa Vega I don't think you *have* to have long legs to do the sport but because it's more ballet/dance oriented, long limbs create a better aesthetic line. The main person I see now who is kind of bucking the trend is Salome Pazhava. She's listed at 5'6", so she's not much shorter than the other girls, but her legs are shorter and more muscular looking. She's very tiny but her build is more compact. She is still very elegant and flexible, but she also shows more power in her leaps and jumps. Her style is different but she's rising up the ranks very quickly.
@Under the Surface how can you even say that? It leads to no periods, stress, body traumas and no free time. This is a very damaging soort not only to the body but to the mind as well
It does not. Girls retire in their early twenties, or after competing in the Olympics. Afterwards you can become a trainer if you want but not many people do it. So most girls just enroll in universities and start a career that has nothing to do with the sport.
I actually know one of the people on this team (we went to the same university) and as far as I know, she isn't doing rhythmic gymnastics anymore. She got a degree and I think she's looking for a job in another field.

Watch Olympic gymnast Nile Wilson trying out these moves. It’s pretty hard, even as an artistic gymnast. Imagine being a regular human: ruclips.net/video/h2AMoXbog8U/видео.html
They’re dancing to the song from the movie the 5th element.... one of my favorite films...

Yeah the did and amazing job but the judges are strict with the transitions
well one of them at the beggining didnt catch, if you noticed that at all
Agree...at some instances they are asynchronous.

I've always wondered that too

intldawn I'll have to check her out on a video. Thanks.
there's actually a pro that's 141cm tall and turns 18 this year. Stiliana Nikolova is her name!
My question is always what does this lead to? It looks beautiful, but does it segway into a career or scholarships/endorsement deals eventually?

one of the girls had trouble throwing her ribbon and made the exchanges look messy but she will get better with time just needs to throw a bit higher
Amazing :')
Aw the diva dance
I’m not saying what they are doing is easy but.... it’s not a sport
This is a sport for your information
Then why is it in the Olympics? Some people are so ignorant smh.
