Rope (rhythmic gymnastics)
The rope is an apparatus used in
armpits.[2] At the ends, there may be one or two knots and an anti-slip material to help the gymnast hold on.[3] The rope may or may not be colored, but bright colors are preferred.[4]
The fundamental requirements of a rope routine include leaps and skipping. Other elements include swinging and throwing the rope in different directions.[5]
