Russian Gymnastics Day
October 31 · Level 9 · #348 of 2238
Russian Gymnastics Day celebrates a sport that brings strength, balance, flexibility and precision together. It also recognises the coaches who help beginners build confidence long before their first polished routine.
How it is celebrated: gymnastics clubs and sports schools organise demonstrations, competitions, open training sessions and workshops. Young participants can explore different disciplines and try suitable exercises with a coach's guidance.
Artistic gymnastics was part of the first modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896. Rhythmic gymnastics made its Olympic debut much later, in 1984.
