Rhythmic Gymnastics / Olympic Games
Gimnasia Rítmica / Juegos Olímpicos
Rhythmic Gimnastics is only for women and there are only two events within the Olympic Program: individual all-around competition (introduced in 1984) and team competition (introduced in 1996). There are five different accessories (hoop, rope, clubs, ball, and ribbon), but individual routines are performed with only four of those five. The all-around competition consists of a qualifying round and a semifinal round; the ten best gymnast in the semifinals advance to the final. In the team competition, the best eight advance.
La gimnasia rítmica es un deporte exclusivamente femenino. En el programa olímpico sólo hay dos pruebas: competición individual (desde 1984) y competición por equipos (desde 1996). Hay cinco aparatos diferentes (aro, cuerda, mazas, pelota y lazo), pero en los ejercicios individuales sólo se utilizan cuatro de ellos. La competición individual consta de ronda clasificatoria y semifinales, donde las diez mejores gimnastas pasan a la final. En la competición por equipos pasan los ocho primeros.
