i too think that pole dancing would be an interesting add in the olympics, and i support my opinion about this sport because i am a rythimc gymnastics athlete, and i know how hard it is, how much skill, talent and patient it requires, how many are the risks of injury, the hours you must dedicate to this every single day... So don't be rough on this sport... i hate it when people say "it's not even a sport!". well it is, and a difficult one...

Rhythmic Gymnastics is totally a sport! I am amazed when I watch it. It is the coolest combination of acrobatics, dance, gymnastics, and just pure awesomeness. As a dancer I totally sympathize with people telling you what you do isn't a sport simply based on the fact it is women dominated and it is more artistic than most sports. Rhythmic gymnastics totally belongs in the Olympics. I wish dance were. Anyway love watching rhythmic gymnastics! :D

They are both difficult in their own way. You can't really compare artistic to rhythmic.

[Stylewith Sarah]

rhythmic gymnastics is way harder than normal gymnastics btw

[Stylewith Sarah]

your ridiculous why don't you try doing rhythmic gymnastics, its harder than it looks, trust me, and its not lame its probably one of the most exciting sports out there

which team is on 0:37? please..

How could ANYBODY question whether this is a sport? This is like the ultimate challenge to what one can do with their body apart from pumping it full of steroids and packing on insane muscle - and THAT'S a sport? I'm sure that the haters and doubters - and most people - don't even KNOW a rythmic gymnast. Why do you suppose that is? Because it's f$##$@#g HARDER than most people can even handle. Not a sport? Oh please!

What's your sport? Sitting on your couch all day posting dumb comments on youtube?? yeah... I thought so.

Coming from a 17 year old artistic gymnast who has trained for almost 12 years now, rhythmic gymnastics is completely different to artistic as we do tumbling/bars/beam etc however rhythmic you're controlling yourself and an object such as a ball whilst keeping in time and not losing focus. All the speculation about it not being a creditable sport is absolute bullsh*t, i could not even attempt to do half the stuff these women do! Keep up the amazing work that is put in to this beautiful sport.

I am a rhythmic gymnast and it takes A LOT of strength, coordination, flexibility and power. Someone who doesn't even do or know how to do rg, I suggest that you don't make idiotic comments. AND Horseback riding takes a lot of skill to coordinate and control the horse. I do jumping and it takes a lot of strength, mentally and physically, to stay on the horse. Before you make these comments, you should actually try the sport. You would fail the second you got out there

It takes extreme strength, dedication, and time. Isn't that what all sports take? Basketball? Soccer? If anything, rhythmic gymnastics is even harder than those sports.

Why, at the moment of Olympic Games everyone criticize other sports ? Olympic Games are not supposed to be a beautiful event where the respect is very important ? What does it brings you to criticize other sports ? Does olympic athlete criticize other athlete ?

I'm a rhytmic gymnast and I do horse riding too and I thinks that all your criticals are stupid because all sports are sports, you don't do the same movements, don't work the same muscles but you do sport !

Sorry for the mistakes
