Rope (rhythmic gymnastics)

It is one of the five apparatuses utilized in this discipline, alongside the ball, clubs, hoop, and ribbon.

[3] From 2001-2012, each apparatus had a compulsory body group of movements that had to predominate in the exercise; for rope, this was jumps and leaps.

[4] The rope is still used in junior group exercises in some years, but at the individual level, it is generally not competed.

However, the basic rope technique is considered to be holding it open with one end in each hand to perform jumps and hops of various kinds and in different directions.

[7] Gymnasts perform a variety of elements with the rope, including skipping over it, throwing it, and hanging it from the body while balancing or turning.
