How has rhythmic gymnastics changed over time?

Asked by Wiki User

Modern gymnastics was originally developed by the two main founding fathers Johann Guts Muth (Swedish, rythmic) and Friedrich Ludwig Jahn (German, apparatus), as an exercise regime for men and boys. It was fundamental in the preparation of combatants for the German Army of Liberation against the Napoleonic Army of Occupation. Jahn also created the horizontal bar, parallel bars and the vault, though they were much different than they are known for today. Modern Gymnastics appeared for the first time at the 1896 Olympics in Athens. Although women demonstrated the sport at the 1908 Olympics, women did not compete in the Olympics until 1928. Some of the first events seen in the Olympics from gymnastics included: running, synchronized team floor calisthenics, rope climbing, high jumping etc. Now female gymnasts compete on the floor exercise, vault, uneven bars, and balance beam. Male gymnasts compete on the floor exercise, vault, parallel bars, horizontal bar, pommel horse and rings. Nadia Comaneci was the first gymnast to receive a perfect score in the 1976 Olympics. In 2006, gymnastics saw it first change in the point system. Originally gymnasts were scored on a basis of 1 -10. 10 being the highest. But now gymnasts have a start value. This means that the gymnast performing the routines can choose the difficulty level of his/her skills. The higher the difficulty level of the skills in the routine, the higher the starting value will be.

How do you train myself to do rhythmic gymnastics at home?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First you should pick some music you like. Listen to it so you understand it a little better. Choose the skills you want in your routine. Pick a starting position and weave your way to a tumbling. Add an illusion or something gravity defying. Have a sibling take a video so you can see how it looks and go from there to perfect it.
