Rhythmic Gymnastics
Rhythmic Gymnastics centers around expression through movement, blending elements of dance and Artistic Gymnastics with the use of several apparatus. Competitors, exclusively women, showcase their skills using four apparatus: ribbon, hoop, ball, and clubs, accompanied by music. The judges' evaluation of routines, both for individual and group events, considers the difficulty, artistry, and execution.

Her hair is neatly tied up in a bun, decorated with a matching red and silver accessory. She holds the ribbon stick high, creating loops and curves with the flowing ribbon.](/content/dam/latwentyeight/olympic-sports/mobile/OLYRhythmicGymnasticsMobile.jpg)
