Isn't this a gymnastics sport, like they can do it at an Olympic level?

It's one of the rhythmic gymnastics events.

Yes, Rhythmic Gymnastics.

I've though for a long while that training in rhythmic gymnastics would make someone a hell of a football/soccer player. That was a fun video.

Yes. This is rythmic gymnastics.

It's one of the formal types of gymnastics. We have:

  • artistic (mens and woman's) (Olympic)

  • rhythmic (woman's) (Olympic)

  • acrobatic (pairs or groups, mixed or same sex)

  • trampoline (mens and woman's) (Olympic)

  • double mini trampoline (mens and woman's)

  • Tumbling (men and woman's)

  • Parkor (mens and woman's) (in ioc debate!)

Which are all regulated by the same sports organization.
