RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS

Special Olympics Gymnastics helps gymnasts develop strength, flexibility, and artistry. Competitions are offered for women in rhythmic events. Gymnasts may compete in all events offered (all around) or may be specialists, competing in one, two, or more (but not all) events.
 
As in all Special Olympics sports, athletes are grouped in competition divisions according to ability level and age.
