My wife has three favorite events in the Summer Olympics, the synchronized swimmers, the women's gymnastics, and this, the rhythmic gymnastics. Or as she calls it the ribbon dancers. Tonight was the first half of the competition featuring routines with the ring and the ball. Salome Pazhava (Georgia) did a most elegant routine with her color coordinated ball. It seems to me that these women are even more flexible than the artistic gymnasts. But then these ladies will not be doing any double back flips.
