London 2012 Rhythmic Gymnastics (Google Doodle)


London 2012 rhythmic gymnastics is the sixteenth London Olympics doodle, carrying on the tradition of a Google doodle every day of the Olympics.
Rhythmic gymnastics is one of the two female-only sports in the Olympics.

Rhythmic gymnastics is described as a combination of ballet, gymnastics, theatrical dance, and apparatus manipulation. And body manipulation, considering how these women might pull one foot over their head or do the splits while upside down and balancing on their chests.

an interesting sidenote: Rhythmic Gymnastics is officially the only women-only sport in the Olympic Games. It’s clearly not the most pressing or hot-debated topic, but there definitely are two distinct sides to this. On the offhand chance that this interests you as much as it interests me, here’s a pretty cool page that takes a look at the subject: http://www.pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/showlink.aspx?bookmarkid=1N8463JPM691&preview=article&linkid=c3e6d310-1687-43e0-94a5-595efe4be518&pdaffid=ZVFwBG5jk4Kvl9OaBJc5%2bg%3d%3d
