Artistic gymnastics is one of the oldest species sports, in the program Olympic Games from the very first Olympics of modern times - 1896 in Athens.

Men's rhythmic gymnastics (boys from 4 years old)

Men's rhythmic gymnastics is presented in two disciplines - group and individual. Groups consist of six people and perform exercises without objects. Individual gymnasts perform with apparatus, but not the same as in rhythmic gymnastics. These are rings, a cane, clubs (heavier and larger than the girls') and a jump rope. In men's rhythmic gymnastics, the emphasis is on speed, strength, and coordination. In the individual program, all this looks like “courageous”, “severe” rhythmic gymnastics with elements of acrobatics - without a hint of elegance, grace, without beautiful rolls of the apparatus and elements for flexibility, but with a demonstration of incredible body control. Performances in group program make a strong impression - the gymnasts do things that take your breath away and make you scared for their health. For example, for 30 seconds athletes carefully line up in a pyramid, and then within a second they fall from it onto the mat at an angle of 90 degrees.

In our time, there are no truly male or female sports left. This also applies to rhythmic gymnastics. Despite the fact that the International Federation stubbornly considers rhythmic gymnastics to be only a women's sport, many activists argue the opposite point of view. The idea of ​​including male “artists” in the program of the Olympic Games is supported by Irina Viner-Usmanova herself. The male version was called rhythmic gymnastics (however, in English language that's what it's called and women's gymnastics). Currently, there are two schools of this sport in the world.

“Toreador, boldly go into battle!”

The Spanish school is classical rhythmic gymnastics for girls performed by boys. Attributes, costumes and rules have not been changed. Guys in tight leggings with glitter, for many such clothes evoke conflicting emotions, since in this form the very concept of masculinity is called into question.

However, taking advantage of the fact that in Spain there is no ban on the participation of the strong half of humanity in competitions in this sport, in 2005 it was in this country that competitions in men's rhythmic gymnastics were able to take place for the first time. “Added fuel to the fire” by the International Federation’s 2009 statement that rhythmic gymnastics is an exclusively women’s sport. Then the Spanish “toreadors” rushed to defend their rights with the fervor that they usually demonstrate at bullfights.

The main hero of the Spanish gymnastics school is Ruben Orihuela. It was he who became the ideological inspirer of holding the first men's competitions in this discipline in his country. In addition, performing at the tournament in Paris, he was able to leave behind many famous athletes, proving that men's rhythmic gymnastics has the right to exist.

The Spanish version has many influential sports opponents who oppose its inclusion in the Olympic Games program. The main disadvantage of the Spanish trend is the desire to be similar to a woman in everything - this applies to equipment, movements, costumes, music.

It would be good if the movements and objects had a masculine character, for example, instead of a ribbon - a battle whip, instead of rings - a shield, instead of maces - daggers or swords (or maces similar to combat ones). Then it would be peculiar martial arts, which would include elements of acrobatics, gymnastics and dance, the psychological association with women's sports should disappear when using such sports equipment. In the form that it is now presented, performances can look ridiculous, and in some places simply terrible, because men should not look like women, they should preserve the characteristics of their gender. For this sport to deserve recognition, it must evolve, moving away from female-looking rhythmic gymnastics.

Six Samurai

The Japanese school is radically different from the previous one both in the form of clothing and in the rules. This type of rhythmic gymnastics in the land of the rising sun can be both group and individual.

Group performances are usually performed by six participants without objects. For individual performances with apparatus, athletes use rings, a rope and clubs. Graceful movements are replaced by acrobatic power tricks. The descendants of the samurai demonstrate excellent control of their body, fantastic synchronicity, and coherence in group performances.

In fairness, it is worth noting that the acrobatic “studies” of the Japanese are strongly reminiscent of the performances of Soviet athletes in the 20s of the last century. All these sports gymnastic pyramids of that time, with minor changes, are successfully demonstrated by them now.

Demonstration performances Japanese gymnasts spectators first saw it in 1986 at the World Cup. Currently, in 8 countries there are teams conducting training in Japanese version. It is in this form that men's rhythmic gymnastics will most likely be recognized by the International Federation.

Despite all the protests from the International Federation, men's rhythmic gymnastics will soon be included in the program of the Olympic Games, but the Japanese school has a better chance of this.

Despite the fact that the male form of rhythmic gymnastics looks eccentric (of the Japanese school), this sports direction should not be ridiculed. After all, this sport is somewhat different from women's rhythmic gymnastics - somersaults and runts are used here. Discipline includes difficult exercises which are very spectacular - there is juggling, and high-precision movements, flying projectiles to a height of several meters, acrobatic movements. Therefore, it would be unfair if men were limited in their ability to engage in rhythmic gymnastics. The main thing is to maintain masculinity and not allow the exercises to have mocking movements, but they need to be filled with complex tricks and a masculine risky character (the Japanese have more masculine gymnastics than the Spaniards).

Fast news today

So far it looks the same as women in weightlifting.

What is men's rhythmic gymnastics?

The sport is not yet recognized by the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG), but is already well developed throughout the world.

Men's gymnastics has two conventional directions, which are fundamentally different from each other:

1) Spanish. The usual women's gymnastics, only performed by guys: leggings, suits with sparkles, the same ribbons, clubs, hoops and balls, the same principles of grading. Here men adapt to the female format.

2) Japanese with elements of acrobatics– this is what Irina Viner has been promoting for a long time. There are completely different rules, different (as is believed, more brutal) costumes and a different level of difficulty - the girls simply will not survive the competition according to the Japanese tradition.

The objects, by the way, are also different: rings instead of hoops, weighted clubs, jump ropes, 90-centimeter canes. The main thing in the Japanese direction is masterful control of the body, strength, coordination, endurance. Grace, grace, flexibility don't actually matter. Competitions are held in two disciplines: group exercises (six people, without apparatus) and individual exercises (with apparatus).

To free ourselves from stereotypes and bias, the Japanese format is called “rhythmic gymnastics” (although in English translation the name does not differ from the classical art - rhythmic gymnastics).

How and when did it originate?

Again, we are talking about two directions.

Japanese is older. There is a theory that Japanese gymnastics grew out of national martial arts, including exercises that help a young man improve his body and spirit. Hence the choice of objects: the cane imitates a pole, the ring imitates a shield, and the mace imitates a sword. And only the jump rope refers to canonical gymnastics.

For the first time, male gymnasts took to the mat in Tokyo at the World Cup 30 years ago. The public reacted ambiguously: the Europeans, spoiled by female plastic arts, did not like the demonstration performances, the Japanese themselves were delighted. Since then, the wonderful look has conquered Asia - schools are opened, men's groups are recruited, and techniques are developed that combine acrobatics and choreography.

The Spanish version took off in the mid-2000s, when boys received the right to participate in national championships together with girls. In 2009, the FIG officially declared the sport to be women's - and Spanish gymnasts protested. The local leadership heard them and held the national championship in rhythmic gymnastics among men for the first time.

Where is it developed?

Leaders are Japan, Australia, Canada, Malaysia, Russia, USA, Korea, Mexico. General rules no, the competitions are not held under the auspices of the IFG, but Japan itself has its own world championship.

Sometimes the guys’ performances can be seen at high-profile international events. Let's say, in 2009 they were allowed to participate in olympic festival youth in Helsinki.

Why is men's rhythmic gymnastics so necessary for Wiener?

The head of the All-Russian Federation sees great prospects for the men's sector. 7 years ago, it was thanks to Wiener’s efforts that a clause on the development of men’s gymnastics was included in the organization’s charter.

A couple of Wiener's policy statements over the past year.

“In order for rhythmic gymnastics to progress, it is imperative to involve boys.”

“If women appear in sports like boxing, wrestling, weightlifting, football and hockey, why can’t men appear in synchronized swimming or rhythmic gymnastics? Unfortunately, in order to break through the wall of misunderstanding, we have a lot to do, since the international federation does not want to accept men’s gymnastics even at the level of a non-Olympic sport.”

By the way, Wiener sent two grandchildren to rhythmic gymnastics. One has already gone into karate, the other continues to train.

How is Russia doing with this?

Back in 2005, Alexander Buklov and Yuri Denisov from Samara won five medals (3 gold, silver and bronze) at the World Championships in Tokyo. Japanese specialist Kei Ishida was brought in to work especially for them.

Later, Buklov, the first Russian world champion in rhythmic gymnastics, was entrusted with overseeing the development of the sport. Here are his main points

“In Russia there is already a clearly established stereotype: men’s rhythmic gymnastics is something criminal and abnormal, not typical for men. And what is posted on the Internet misinforms the people even more. I saw these videos: Spanish guys were performing, doing women's exercises with feminine items. To be honest, I didn’t understand this; it’s not nice for a man to do this.

We don’t want to be confused with rhythmic gymnastics, so that any “buts” and prejudiced or dismissive attitudes arise.

It is no secret that men's rhythmic gymnastics originated in Japan. Therefore, in our sport there are elements of martial arts, in general, everything is in the oriental style. So we're not going to make girls out of boys."
