The first impetus to the development of this new women's sport was the elimination of team competition in rhythmic gymnastics after the 1956 Olympic Games. Berthe Villancher of France, Valeri Nagy Ilerpich of Hungary, and other international leaders still felt that rhythmic gymnastics events were very important. Efforts were made to develop rhythmic gymnastics into a competitive sport. The first test of this new competitive sport was the first World's Champion- ship,held in 1963 in Budapest, Hungary. The second World's Championship was conducted in1965 in Prague, Czechoslovakia. This championship meet was planned under the direction of the Federation of International Gymnastics (FIG), the world governing body for the sport of gymnastics. For unification of opinions and ideas as to the evaluations of the routines, an international judges clinicwascalled by the FIG three months before thesec- ond World's Championship. The FIG Committee of Women at this meeting set the direction of this new sport: "Modern gymnastics is neither ballet nor modern dance, it should develop its own style- - itis asport of natural body movement.- The second World's Championship in modern gymnastics was a competition of individ- uals. Thirty-five contestants from 12 countries participated. The third World's Championship was held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in November 1967. Thirty-nine competitors from 14 countries partici- pated. Team competition was added as a separate event for the first time. The individual and team competition is separate: an individual may enter either in individual or team competition or in both. This new sport has many guidelines yet to be established; there- fore, the FIG established a separate section for modern gymnastics. In Prague,in September 1968, the FIG Committee of Modern Gymnastics conducted a one-week international Judges clinic in order to clarify difficulty of exercise and elements for composition, and to give direction for the future development of the sport. The fourth World's Championship was held in Sofia. Bulgaria in 1969.* *Information was gained through personal letters with FIG technical com- mittee member Valeri Nagy Ilerpich of Aungary. MODERN GYMNASTICS 7 Rules Modern gymnastics includes compulsory and optional exercise with hand apparatus and alsofree floor routines without hand apparatus. All exercises are judged on a 10-point s ale, by tenths of a point, distributed as follows: 3 points for difficu:ty 2 points for combination and technical value 5 points for execution and general impression. The gymnast performs her exercise in an area of 12 x 12 meters (39 1/3 x 39 l/3 feet). She iS expected to use the complete area. The exercise is executed with musical accompaniment and must corres- pond to the rhythm and mood .)f the music. The gymnast

  • EXERCISE DESCRIPTIONS 2015.Docx
    EXERCISE DESCRIPTIONS HANG CLEAN Starting Position: Place hands in an overhead grip slightly wider than shoulder width. Align the feet under the armpits. At the top, slightly bend the knees and tilt the pelvis so the rear end is extended. Movement. This is a simultaneous movement of extending the ankles, knees, and hips and shrugging the shoulders forcefully upward as high as possible. Initiate bar movement with arms locked. Arms should break out to side – not in front. Shoot elbows under the bar, drop the hips (bend knees) and stabilize weight in catch position across top of shoulders. Stand up and execute next rep. SQUAT Starting Position: Position the bar on the trapezius muscles. Adjust hands comfortably, wider than shoulder width. Lift the bar off the rack and take one step back. Position your feet wider than shoulder width and flare the toes out slightly. Legs should be wide enough to allow squat at a proper depth but not too wide so that the knees come inward when squatting. Movement: Keep heels flat on the floor, chest out and chin up. Begin the descent by flexing at the hips, sticking the rear end out slightly and bending at the knees. Keep the head up and chest out throughout the movement, Squat until the thighs are parallel to the floor. Do not bounce in the bottom. Rise from the bottom position forcefully but under control. Imagine pushing the heels through the floor. The shoulders must rise before the hips so that the body stays in the correct position. The back should be flat but angled forward slightly.
