Rhythmic gymnastics – Five Rules to Know

  • Apparatus
    Gymnasts perform routines using apparatuses such as rope, hoop, ball, clubs, and ribbon, each requiring specific skills and techniques.
  • Scoring
    Judges evaluate routines based on difficulty, execution, and artistry. The difficulty score reflects the complexity of movements, while the execution score assesses performance quality, including technical precision and artistic expression.
  • Choreography
    Routines are choreographed to music, emphasizing harmony between movements and musical accompaniment. Gymnasts must demonstrate rhythm, expression, and seamless transitions.
  • Time Limits
    Individual routines last 1:15–1:30 minutes, while group routines can go up to 2:30 minutes.
  • Group Performances
    In group events, teams consist of five gymnasts performing coordinated routines. Synchronization and collaborative formations are crucial, with two routines performed: one with a single type of apparatus and one with mixed apparatuses.Download Rules as Pocketguide
