Discussion And Analysis On Gap In Techniques Of Rhythmic Gymnastics Group Events At Home And Abroad

The rhythmic gymnastics, which has a firm foothold in the Olympic big family, it fully embodies the women's body charisma in the beauty of softness and elegance in the unique combination of body and apparatus. In recent years, there have been huge achievements in our group events of rhythmic gymnastics, which means that we have narrowed down the gap between ourselves and the advanced level of the world. By the accumulated power we have against world-class strong teams, we regard the group events of rhythmic gymnastics as the key event of 2008 Olympics that we will obtain breakthrough medals.This paper, based on methods of documentation, image analysis and mathematical statistics, conducts analysis and comparison of the top six winners at the Russian stop of world cup in Apr.2005 and the counterparts of China's Tenth National Games in the group events of rhythmic gymnastics. The studied subjects are the technique levels of"three-person hoop exercise & two-person exercise with clubs","five-person exercise with ribbons"from 12 group competitors, all together 24 sets of combination. By the above analysis and comparison, we can see the gap of technique levels in the group events of rhythmic gymnastics between home and abroad. Rhythmic gymnastics include apparatus technique and body technique which is composed by jumping, twisting, balancing, and flexibility/waving representing four kinds of body difficulty. The group events of rhythmic gymnastics have two sets of apparatus technique, one for same apparatus, the other for different apparatus. In order to find out the causes of the gap of technique levels in the group events of rhythmic gymnastics between home and abroad, this paper, also makes comparative analysis and study on the change exercise of difficulty, non-change exercise of difficulty, teamwork performance among team players, proficiency degree of apparatus use and the level of completed performance in the group events of rhythmic gymnastics between home and abroad. All the above analysis can be used as the reference items for improving our technique levels in the group events of rhythmic gymnastics.It is reported that compared with the world excellent groups, our groups are inferior in that we lack variety seriously in choosing the change degree of difficulty; our difficulty value is obvious lower and difficulty type imbalanced; our teamwork exercise type is also imbalanced since inclined to the low-value teamwork exercise; we still lack variety in the added score type of proficiency degree of apparatus use; our players'apparatus technique and body technique in the gymnastics performance are still far behind the world excellent players. These gaps have been the long-term neck pain that hinders the improvements and development of China's group events of rhythmic gymnastics. Therefore, we must firmly hold the historical opportunity of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, carefully carry out the 2008 Olympics Contribution Plan issued by General Administration of Sports of China, and concentrate on the study of period regulations of New Olympics. We have to use the most effective methods to improve the level of our players'apparatus technique and body apparatus in the gymnastics performance. In addition, we should also see the technique development tendency of rhythmic gymnastics and improve our combination level by creating sets of high degree of difficulty, novelty, and variety, so that we can narrow the gap between ourselves and the world excellent groups in a short term, and thus realize our target of raising our national flag in the 2008 Olympics.
