Full highlights from the qualifying stages of the rhythmic gymnastics group all-around event taking place at Wembley Arena as part of the London 2012 Olympic Games (10 August).
Since its integration into the Games in 1984 in Los Angeles, rhythmic gymnastics has always been a part of the Olympic programme. In its inaugural year, it was Canada's Lori Fung who won the gold medal.
Until 1992 in Barcelona, only one individual event was on the programme. A second, team event was added to the programme in 1996 in Atlanta.

[@Villan8lle]

I cannot imagine how hard this is to practice. Like everything is on time; the landing of the hoops, the throwing of the ribbons, and the synchronized dancing. Its just so amazing. Total respect for these women. 👍

[@maximilianmus506]

very easy

[@Sunfl75]

Most teams live together and practice for 10 hrs a day during the last few weeks leading up to the Olympics. That is the only way to become the best, most synchronized team and to bring home the desired medals.

[@prisxer25]

to people questioning whether rhythmic gym is a sport, I can tell you as someone who used to learn gymnastics, it's probably one of the hardest sports. You need to be able to combine acrobatic, gymnastic and dance skills together plus manoeuvre the ball/ribbon/clubs/hoops with various parts of your body.

[@SeaShanty88]

+prisxer25 Most of them are Americans(no offense, if you are and thanks for appreciating this sport ) and it is clear they won't like it, you just have to see that kind of artistic gymnastics they like.

[@barbarafontana8662]

prisxer25 try doing it under-water! ( swimming )

[@yaykarina7274]

Barbara Fontana try synchronized swimming

[@therealmeahmi]

prisxer25 to me , it looks like a bunch of acrobats throwing items in the air & catching them ( sometimes ).

[@hGudno9]

prisxer25 yes it’s probably harder than football and all that

Yes

[@fantasia7780]

One of my favorite things to watch, the way the people move in and out of each other and how they are able to coordinate and pinpoint the exact spot to throw hoops and ribbons and also using the hoops and ribbons themselves to throw back to team mates is unbelievable.

[@C0C0PR]

Italy was my favorite, but every team had their own spark. Beautiful!

[@melisadoodoo6134]

All of the participants in rhythmic gymnastic are really gorgeous. All their moves are really amazing. It doesn’t look easy, catching the rope while you are exchanging places. Congrats to all the participants!

[@celestemunda7143]

At 15:53 am I the only one that noticed the one girl who accidentally threw the ribbon not to the one who was supposed to get it, and she had to quick go throw it again and then pick up her hoop 🤣👍😅😅

[@emmacantcomeupwithacreativ7506]

3:50 I was pleasantly surprised that they used Phantom of the Opera!!

[@kayper54]

I don't know who's posting all these Olympics videos but I SO appreciate it. Thank you very much, whoever it is who has gone to all the trouble. I pretty much missed the entire Olympics this summer and it's so nice to get a chance to see it after all, even if I know who wins!

[@JulesThePsion]

I loved Greece's choice of ribbon! Mesmerizing.

[@user-tb5iz3gp4z]

Команды все потрясающие! Программы интересные) Греция понравилась, жалко, что техника подвела. Впервые увидела команду Англии)) ну и наши девчонки как всегда выше всех похвал!)) Спасибо за видео!)

[@liekee_vb8145]

How can you catch a hoop with your foot and throw it to someone you can't even see?!😧😱

[@amazinggrace5692]

[@anastasiazafeiropoulou5826]

[@analyticsq3817]

Greeks were a lot better in technique than GB but GB has crowd with them and then the home ground made the difference. There was no difficulty or technique wise unique in GB's performance.

[@PaolinaVilla]

[@_birdie]

Not just saying this Bc I’m Greek haha but the unison of the Greek team was breathtaking. Such synchronicity, combined w some very difficult+unique moves…. Just amazing. Really thought their score would be higher. (I should note- I know nothing about this sport haha so I’m sure I’m missing mistakes, def not using proper terminology & no clue how the scoring actually works haha ☺️✌️)

Watching the first one to Alive by Sia- it really fits :)

[@oksanakc8251]

i agree

[@theycallitpuppylove4274]

I love rhythmic leotards... why can't artistic leotards be like that????

[@theycallitpuppylove4274]

except for the skirts

[@theycallitpuppylove4274]

True

[@sydneyh8521]

First, chalk gets all over the leotards, and it isn't meant to be all patterns and jewels. There are sequins on competition leos but makes a simple pattern such as flames on the sleeves. And the leos also rub against some of the event equipment. And it isn't about the beauty of the leos, just the gracefulness and tumbling skills. And some of the artistic gymnastics leos are quite pretty but not too extravagant like rythmic. And the leotards that aren't meant to be competed in, also have a very pretty pattern

[@user-pq6kr1tw4j]

Because artistic gymnasts are supposed to be powerful and the rhythmic gymnasts should be smooth,elegant etc plus I'm a rhythmic gymnast I'm currently in level 5 turning 6 and once I was an artistic gymnast not anymore lol
