Gymnastic Classes

If an athlete is good enough to qualify for the Olympics — then they should be allowed to compete — regardless of age. And it seems silly to me that there is minimum age requirements for some events in the Olympics and not others. One of the female US swimmers, for instance, is only 15 years-old and and there is a 14 year-old British diver — both of whom are both legally competing. In addition, it also seems silly to allow a gymnast to practice over 50 hours a week and compete in all other competitions, but not in the Olympics. It also seems silly that the International Gymnastic Federation (IGF) should dictate the rules for the Olympics instead of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Plus, a significant reason the US women gymnastics team did not take home the team gold is because they made numerous mistakes. However, that all being said, a rule is a rule and the lack of follow-up by the IOC and the IGF over the Chinese gymnasts’ ages is, well, silly. The rule, implemented b …

Try not to keep the hand too rigid as it will smack on the ball and you will have difficulty in controlling it. Unlike basketball in which the aim is to retain possession and so keep the ball close to the body, in rhythmic gymnastics it is necessary to extend the arm away from the body in order to maintain a graceful line and prepare for the following move with extension and swing. The body should also be flexible and resilient, so that the knees and ankles bend with each bounce and there is fluency about the action. Repeated bouncing, although needing to be practiced in the early learning stages, soon becomes boring and a more interesting variety of bounces should be introduced. This might include the following: high, medium or low bounces, bounces using each hand, bounces using both hands, bounces using other parts of the body, such as the foot, elbow, shoulder or knee, bounces rebounding off other parts, such as the shoulder, chest or leg. Almost anything goes, and it is worth expe …
