Welcome to our first Newsletter of 2016! January
and February flew by with the preparation of an
action-packed Rhythmic Gymnastics season,
highlighted by the European Championships in
Holon (ISR) in June and our training camp for girls
in July in Obertraun (AUT). Of course we also
looked even further ahead, to the new Olympic
cycle 2017 - 2020 for which the FIG is working on
an updated Code of Points. Our meeting with FIG

"Aspiring to create a performance environment for Rhythmic Gymnastics to flourish in the UK"
Mid-February, in sub-zero weather, our Russian friends offered our Technical
Committee a verywarm welcome at the Olympic Center in Moscow. We
gathered there to hold our first TC meeting of 2016. The main task of the
meeting was a discussion with Natalia Kuzmina, President of the FIG RG-TC.
She shed her light on the new qualification system for the Olympic Games,
which will commence with the Tokyo 2020 Games, we discussed the
"Aspiring to create a performance environment for Rhythmic Gymnastics to flourish in the UK"
preparation of the test event in Rio and the new Code of Points for the next
Olympic cycle 2017-2020. The first draft of the new Code of Points was
presented to us and Mrs Kuzmina asked for our remarks, especially concerning
the junior programme which we will happily provide. Our two next TC
meetings will be in Holon, the first from 14 to 17 April, when we will draw the
starting order for the European Championships, and the second during those
Europeans from 12 to 21 June.
Mi-février, par des températures en-dessous de zéro, nos amis russes ont
offert à notre Comité Technique un accueil très chaleureux au centre
olympique à Moscou. Nous nous sommes réunies pour notre première réunion
CT de 2016. La tâche principale de cette réunion était une discussion avec
Natalia Kuzmina, Présidente du CT-GR FIG. Elle a mis la lumière sur le
nouveau système de qualification pour les Jeux Olympiques, qui débutera avec
les Jeux de Tokyo en 2020 ; nous avons parlé de la préparation du test event
à Rio et du nouveau Code de Pointage pour le cycle Olympique à venir (20172020). Le premier projet du nouveau Code de Pointage nous a été présenté et
Mme Kuzmina a demandé notre avis, spécialement concernant le programme
junior, ce que nous allons faire avec joie. Nos deux prochaines réunions CT
auront lieu à Holon ; la première du 14 au 17 avril, avec le tirage au sort de
l’ordre de passage pour les Championnats d’Europe, et la deuxième lors de ces
Européens du 12 au 21 juin.

2 months before the Olympics all eyes will be on Holon, where Europe’s best
junior and senior gymnasts will gather to battle for the continental title. The
Local Organising Committee is in full swing, tickets went on sale and the
website was launched. At the recent Moscow Grand Prix we saw the
extraordinary level of some of the juniors, and by then, the seniors will have
their routines perfected for the Olympics. A competition of a dazzling level
announces itself. And the OC is very pleased and anxious to welcome the
gymnasts, specialists and rhythmic gymnastics fans in their new sports center,
build especially for this beautiful sport.

2 mois avant les Jeux Olympiques tous les yeux seront tournés sur Holon, où
les meilleures gymnastes juniors et seniors de l’Europe se réuniront pour
décrocher les titres continentaux. Le travail du Comité d’Organisation Local
avance bien, les billets sont en ventes et le site internet a été lancé. Au Grand
Prix de Moscou, nous avons pu voir le niveau extraordinaire de certaines
juniors, et jusqu’aux ChE, les seniors auront leurs exercices perfectionnés pour
les JO. Une compétition avec un niveau éblouissant s’annonce. Et le CO est
très heureux et anxieux de souhaiter la bienvenue aux gymnastes, spécialistes
et fans de la gymnastique rythmique dans le nouveaux complexe sportif,
construit tout spécialement pour ce magnifique sport.

On 22 April Olympic host Rio de Janeiro (BRA) organises the ‘Aquece Rio’ (Rio
Prepares) test event. This is the second and last qualifying event for all
gymnasts. 7 groups will battle for 4 remaining places, but with one place
guaranteed for host nation Brazil, it basically means 6 groups for 3 places. For
"Aspiring to create a performance environment for Rhythmic Gymnastics to flourish in the UK"
Europe, Germany, Azerbaijan, Greece and Finland are competing. In the
individual competition 23 gymnasts fight for at least 6 places. 3 more places
are reserved for continental representation and one for the host nation. These
4 places can still go to the next eligible gymnast if the conditions for the
allocation have been fulfilled. 1 gymnast is invited by the Tripartite
Commission, the so-called ‘wild card’. The reigning World Champions, the
Russian group and Yana Kudryavtseva, are invited to compete, as are
Margarita Mamun and Melitina Staniouta. We wish our gymnasts, coaches and
judges a fantastic competition!
Le 22 avril, l’hôte Olympique Rio de Janeiro (BRA) organise le ‘Aquece Rio’ (Rio
Prépare) test event. Ceci est la deuxième et dernière chance de se qualifier
pour toutes les gymnastes. 7 ensembles seront en compétition pour les 4
places restantes, mais puisqu’une place est déjà garantie pour la nation hôte
le Brésil, il n’y a finalement que 3 places pour 6 ensembles. Les Fédérations
européennes suivantes seront en lice : Allemagne, Azerbaïdjan, Grèce et la
Finlande. Du côté des individuelles, 23 gymnastes se battront pour au moins 6
places. 3 places de plus sont réservées pour la représentation continentale et
une pour la nation hôte. Ces 4 places peuvent toujours aller aux prochaines
gymnastes éligibles si les conditions pour l’allocation ont été remplies. 1
gymnaste est invitée par la Commission Tripartite, appelée ‘wild card’. Les
Championnes du Monde en titre, l’ensemble russe et Yana Kudryavtseva, sont
invités à concourir, tout comme Margarita Mamun et Melitina Staniouta. Nous
souhaitons à nos gymnastes, entraîneurs et juges une sublime compétition !
