Unknown Olympic Sports

[Gungnir]

I have not been watching the Olympics this year out of protest but with the number of Television channels that are replaying the games, it is hard not to notice. I've seen a competition that I have never seen before:

It was a team event with about five or six women. The routine is a cross between gymnastics, ballet, and extreme jump roping.

I was watching Belorus' team--absolutely stunning.


What is it?

Probably rhythmic gymnastics
