Rhythmic Gymnastics Takes Center Stage at Paris 2024 Olympics

With Russia banned, new contenders vie for top honors in the unique blend of dance and gymnastics.

Rhythmic gymnastics features individual and team events, judged on difficulty, artistry, and execution.
Russia, historically dominant, will not compete due to sanctions, opening opportunities for other nations.
Top individual contenders include Germany's Darja Varfolomeev and Italy's Sofia Raffaeli.
Team USA's sole representative, Evita Griskenas, aims to break into the top ranks.
The competition begins with individual qualifications, followed by team events over three days.
