Ribbon (rhythmic gymnastics)

Rhythmic gymnastics routines require the ribbon to constantly be in motion. Compulsory elements for the ribbon include flicks, circles, snakes and spirals, and throws. It requires a high degree of coordination to form the spirals and circles as any knots which may accidentally form in the ribbon are penalised. During a ribbon routine, large, smooth and flowing movements are looked for.
