Rhythmic Gymnastics
Rhythmic gymnasts use five different tools in their routine: the rope, the hoop, the ball, the club and the ribbon. The routines are performed on a 13 x 13m mat with a 50cm border.
Rhythmic Rope
The length of the rope is in proportion to the height of the gymnast. The rope can have an anti-slip material, which may not cover more than 10cm.
Rhythmic Hoop
The hoop must have an interior diameter of 80 to 90cm and weigh a minimum of 300 grams. For children, the hoop’s diameter is determined by the size of the gymnast and must weigh 225 grams.
Rhythmic Ball
Ball requirements are dependent on age and level of the gymnast. Children must use a ball with a diameter between 14 and 20cm; all other levels use one with a diameter of 18-20cm.
The weight of the ball also differs based on the level of the gymnast. A level 9/10 gymnast must use a ball that weighs a minimum of 400 grams and a level 5-8 gymnast must use one that weighs at least 330 grams. Lower level gymnasts can use a lighter ball with a minimum weight of 200 grams.
Rhythmic Clubs
A gymnast will use two clubs per routine. The club, a bottle-shaped tool, must be between 40 to 50cm in length and must weigh at least 150 grams. The top of the club has a maximum diameter of 3cm.
Rhythmic Ribbons
The ribbon is broken into two parts: the stick that attaches to the ribbon and the ribbon itself.
The stick is 50-60cm long and has a maximum diameter of 1cm. The attachment used to connect the ribbon to the stick cannot be longer than 7cm.
The ribbon must be at least 6m long (5 meters for junior age and 4.5 meters for children) and 4-6 cm wide. It must weigh (without the stick) a minimum of 35 grams (30 grams for junior age and 20 grams for children).
