Rhythmic gymnastics is an individual and team sport which mixes elements of dance, style and athleticism. Competitors must control and perform with one or more objects, such as a ribbon or ball. This object is referred to as an "apparatus". Competitors are judged on their overall execution, balance, performance, and handling.
On August 23, 2008, Russia's Evgeniya Kanaeva won the 2008 Olympic gold medal in the individual all-around rhythmic gymnastics competition with a total of 75.500 points. Inna Zhukova of Belarus took silver and Anna Bessonova of Ukraine won bronze.Reuters (India): Russia's Kanaeva wins rhythmic gold (August 23, 2008)
