Rhythmic Gymnastics v Figure Skating -Step Up Showcase Music

Thank you for the 10,000 views!

This is a montage I made comparing Rhythmic Gymnastics and Figure Skating.

Both sports are incredible, and require a lot of artistry and grace, not to mention strength and flexibility. Rhythmic gymnastics uses Ropes, Ribbons, Balls and Hoops (Possibly more) on the floor and includes lots of dance like turns and contortion. Figure skating is a mixture of sport and art on ice, including jumps, spins, footwork and spirals. This video shows the strong, incredible, beautiful and firey sides of each sport.

Comment and let us know which one you think is best!

There are a lot of factors about figure skating not covered here:

1. JUMPS. By far and away the most difficult part of figure skating, that isn't even touched in rhythmic.

2. SPINS. I know you spin, but we spin for 20-30 rotations sometimes, and at much faster speeds with more changes of position. That's physically demanding.

3. BLADE. We do everything we do on a blade not even a centimetre thick. Yeah.

I think rhythmic takes more flexibility, but skating takes more strength and skill.

@debbyryan1393 I disagree with you.Figure Skaters have to go want gymnasts do,but 10x harder.Figure skaters have a blade with 2 edges,toe pick,&are skating on ice.SLIPPERY WET ice. I'd like to see a gymnast go on the ice and try to do what they are doing on the ground.Gymnasts CANT go on the ice & do what figure skaters do;but figure skaters can get off the ice &do what gymnasts do.&Figure skaters have to be equally as fexaible.You should try doing an axel,their even hard on the ground sometimes

@stirrupqueen oh no you are totally wrong, usually i respect the opinion of others, but your soooo wrong >.< I mean there will never be a figure skater throwing a ball metres high and then catch it with their back... you have no clue of rhythmic gymnastics

uhm no they dont use them... maybe for galas, but that looks terrible ...(their performances are more terrible than my english!)

and i never said it would be harder... i said they have nearly the same level

[stirrupqueen]

@BaLaylaLerina Yeah it does need strenth but we figure skaters can do what gymnasts do off ice and on ice. and the gymnasts can only do it off ice. figure skater also use balls, hoops, ribbons, and more. so its not harder skating is.

@beyondsection17 JUMPS we have jumps too, not in the same way, but also hard...

SPINS Daria Kondakova, a very excellent Rhythmic gymnast is doing 10 spins on her foot, with changing her position, and caroline weber has also nice tunrs, going up and down and up again while turning ...

BLADE... maybe gymnasts have no blade, but we have hoop ribbon rope clubs & ball and they throw them very high and catch them with their back...

Rhythmic gymnastic needs strength too ...

[BaLaylaLerina]

@ImHurtXxXIceSkater thats not true!!! I am very defendet by your comment! Because every sport has another difficulty, in ice skating you have to do all things on a blade, but in rhythmic gymnastics you have 5 apparatus (ball, hoop, ribbon, rope & clubs) it really hard to handle them...

So in MY OPINION: No Ice Skater could ever be a professional rhythmic gymnast and No Rhytmic gymnast could ever be a professional ice skater !!!

But If you think RG is easy I hope to see you in London ;)

figure! <3

[palacsintakat]

Rhythmic is way harder but ice skating is way scarier. Lol

[stirrupqueen]

Figure Skating!

[stirrupqueen]

@loveices me too!

[stirrupqueen]

@TheEquestrianKat It's called an axel. :P

[stirrupqueen]

@Gina10179202 ummm..... no its not! Spinning on barefoot is super easy. I do it all the time. Spinning on a blde that is less than a quarter of a centimeter on slippery ice a gymnast can't do that!!
