Men's rhythmic gymnastics

Men's rhythmic gymnastics is a variation of the sport of women's rhythmic gymnastics that emerged in the 1990's. Only four apparatus are used: the rings, the baton, the rope, and the clubs. Athletes are judged on the same physical abilities and skills as their female counterparts: juggling, balance, extreme flexibility, and dance skills. The sport has very few participants, most of them competing solo rather than on a team, and mainly in Europe where traditional rhythmic gymnastics is most popular.
