Rhythmic gymnastics at the 2024 Olympics will soon get underway, and the individual podium promises to be historic with no Russian or Belarusian competitors.
will soon get underway and the individual podium promises to be historic, as it will feature no Russian or Belarusian gymnasts, and there is no clear favorite since Tokyo. Since 2021, five different gymnasts have won the five titles awarded at the European and world championships, so the medals could go a number of different ways.
Germany’s Darja Varfolomeev is likely the top contender for gold. In 2023, she achieved a historic sweep at the world championships by winning the all-around and all four event finals, becoming only the second rhythmic gymnast to do so. Known for her flawless execution and dynamic performance style, a medal would mark only the second individual medal for Germany; Regina Weber won bronze in 1984 representing West Germany.Bulgaria’s Stiliana Nikolova is a significant competitor for Varfolomeev.
Italy’s Sofia Raffaeli, the 2022 world all-around champion, finished second behind Varfolomeev in 2023. She faced a challenging start to the Olympic season due to a coaching change. Renowned for her expressive artistry and meticulous choreography, Raffaeli should secure a medal if she avoids major errors, marking Italy’s first individual medal in rhythmic gymnastics.
The United States has one athlete competing, Evita Griskenas from Orland Park, Illinois, who will compete in her second Olympics. Griskenas, who placed 12th in Tokyo's qualification round, aims to reach the final in Paris.Bulgaria made a significant impact by dethroning the Russian Olympic Committee in Tokyo, preventing a sixth consecutive title for Russian athletes.
To celebrate 8 days out from the Paris Olympics, Lawrence Zarian continues "Chasing Gold" and joins Team USA rhythmic gymnast Evita Griskenas to learn how technical it really is use to the hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon on the Olympic level!
