Don’t Lose Your Head
Rhythmic gymnastics is a type of gymnastics in which athletes utilize props such as hoops, balls, ribbons, and other objects to improve their performance. Rhythms combine gymnastics with dance sets to music. Gymnasts may include leaping, contortionism, and precise dance movements in their routines.
A ball, such as this Bulgarian gymnast Silviya Miteva, is one of the most popular props for rhythmic gymnasts. Miteva’s flexibility and the photographer’s talent combine to make it appear like a silver sphere has replaced her head.
