Los Angeles, rhythmic gymnastics, which is still reserved for women today, made
its appearance on the Olympic programme with an individual event. Twelve years

Rhythmic
gymnastics is a discipline that is close to a mix between classical dance and
artistic gymnastics, combining the use of four skillful apparatus, the hoop,
the ball, the clubs and the ribbon.
