bufanda o bandera como nuevo aparato???

TC members after consultation with specialists and coaches from different countries proposed to eliminate rope apparatus for the programme of senior individual due to women change of body having leaps as fundamental group of apparatus. It causes a lot of micro-traumatism and injuries. Media (TV) do not transmit qualifications/finals for rope apparatus in any competition, especially
world cups, world championships and Olympic Games as it's an apparatus that is not visible in the air.

Apparatus programme is for 2011 – 2016 as follows: Hoop, Ball, Clubs and Ribbon. In a search of new form and new apparatus TC RG did elaborate a Regulation of "Free Programme" following the Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championship. Incorporation of this Regulation to World Championship Programme require acceptance of Rhythmic Gymnastics circles and EC FIG approval.
