Set to music and incorporating props like ribbons, clubs, ropes, hoops, and even balls, Rhythmic Gymnastics European Championships fuses mind-boggling feats of contortion with elements of dance, creating a magical sporting spectacle. Here's where to watch 2024 Rhythmic Gymnastics European Championships live streams online for free – from anywhere.
The 2024 event at the Papp László Sportaréna in Budapest, Hungary, is unusual in that it also doubles as the Oceania Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships. That means there are Paris 2024 Olympics slots available for two continents' worth of hopefuls.
Individuals looking to secure qualification must tackle the hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon on Thursday and Friday, while the group competition sees groups of five perform two routines, complete with apparatus, while striving not to descend into chaos.
Boryana Kaleyn is the reigning European all-around champion, and she faces a serious run for her money on at least two fronts, with world all-around supremo Darja Varfolomeev and the woman she dethroned, Sofia Raffaeli, both competing.
