Men’s rhythmic gymnastics (MRG) is a sport invented in Japan nearly 70 years ago that combines calisthenics and elements of Swedish, German, and Danish gymnastics …
MRG was made an official event at the National Sports Festival held in 1947, and the All-Japan Intercollegiate Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships started in 1949 (All-Japan Inter-High Championships were introduced in 1952).
There are two variations of MRG, individual (where gymnasts perform solo with one of four apparatus) and team, which focuses on tumbling, flexibility, balance, and synchronization.
Today there are nearly 2,000 men’s rhythmic gymnasts active in Japan, from junior clubs with students as young as five up through top universities like Aomori, Hanazono, Kokushikan, and others

Excelle Sports: What do you feel is your biggest strength right now? What do you feel that you need to improve on?
Maile O’Keefe: My biggest strength right now is beam only because I have a lot of difficulty and I’m pretty consistent on that event. Even though I improved a little bit on bars, I really feel my bars could use a little bit more work and a little bit more difficulty and consistency. …
Excelle Sports: Who is your gymnastics role model and why?
Maile O’Keefe: I really look up to Laurie Hernandez. She’s so happy and so bubbly. She does so well on the competition floor. I really have a role model in the gym too. One of my teammates, Olivia, she really helps me through the tough times and I help her. We just get each other.

Westerns this year are being held in conjunction with two other major events. May 5-8th.
BC Gymnaestrada and the Delta Invitational.
Over 1800 participants hosted at the Olympic Oval in Vancouver.
That’s almost certainly the biggest Gymnastics event ever hosted in Canada. 🙂 Fans can pay one admission price and see all 3 events. Cool.
UPDATE – Gymnaestrada tickets are sold out.
This “BEST OF THE WEST GYMNASTICS FESTIVAL” will have LIVE streaming.
Thanks Chris.
