olympic gymnastics
just watched 3 hours of the olympic rhythmic gymnastics, performing using hoops and then balls, wow! these girls are so talented, elegant graceful yet incredibly strong. left feeling inspired (& very jealous of their oh so easy oversplits!) never seen these apparatus used in this way before, absolutley brilliant, cant imagine the training needed to have so much control and skill as these girls do. know some of you do hooping on here aswell, definately harder than it looks – i cant even do one spin with a hoop! truly amazing and definately worth a watch, think the next one is going to be with clubs & ribbons, cant wait to see that too!

not sure if this link will work for you as im in the uk, but yes i watched it live – online. think eurosport was televising aswell so maybe they will have a player to watch it on from the u.s. failing that there is a website dedicated to the olympics just type london2012. hope that helps, enjoy! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/2012/live-video/p00w32gs

I love rhythmic gymnastics! I don't know why it isn't such a big deal as artistic gymnastics. I discovered it when I was a hooper and I was like… HOLY MOLY I didn't know you could do that with a hoop! Thanks for the link… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif gonna watch it while stretching my poor stiff muscles haha

nbcolympics.com also has video for folks in the US. You might have to wait an extra day for it to be posted though.

I was super bummed they weren't showing it on any of the NBC stations! I love watching it and we had people from the US competing. For us locally, there is a girl who lives withing 20 minutes of me, but I couldn't watch her compete 🙁

It was on NBC here yesterday. I watched it while I did paperwork. Some time between 11am and 1pm CST.

Of course, the short period of time that I was at work! Oh well 🙁

Apparently, rhthymic gymnastics translates well to pole, too- Natalia Tatarintseva, winner of the last Aerial Pole International and the recent World Pole Sport Federation Championship used to be a competitive rhthymic gymnast.
