Rhythmic Gymnastics Doodle 2012
Olympic Doodle No. 16 presents „Rhythmic Gymnastics“ (Aug. 11, 2012). Rhythmic gymnastics is a sport in which individuals or teams of competitors (2 or more people) manipulate one or two pieces of apparatus: rope, clubs, hoop, ball, ribbon and Free (no apparatus). The victor is the participant who earns the most points, determined by a panel of judges, for leaps, balances, pirouettes (pivots), flexibilities, apparatus handling, execution, and artistic effect.
