Men's rhythmic gymnastics

Men's rhythmic gymnastics is a variation of the sport of women's rhythmic gymnastics that emerged in Japan from stick gymnastics taught and performed since long ago with the aim of improving physical strength and health. The technical rules of this version of the gymnastics came around 1970s. 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 a growing number of participants, competing solo and on a team, and mainly not in Europe where traditional rhythmic gymnastics is most popular, but rather in Asia in in America. It remains most popular in Japan. In november 27-29 2003 five countries from two continents participated in the 1st Men's RG World Championship - Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Canada and USA.
