THE RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS

My favorite sport is the rhythmic gymnastics. I am rhythmic since I was 4 years old with the "Club Gimnàstica Rítmica Gemma". I started doing it at school as an extracurricular with my friends. I really liked it and wished you to arrive on Wednesday to be able to do rhythmic gymnastics. When I finished the school I had to leave it but after 1 year I returned to rhythm but in Roses with the same club. I did not like it because I was alone and I did not know anyone and I left it. This year I came back because it's a sport I've done since I was a little girl and I really like it. I do it with a friend of mine and we like it very much. I'm also happy to go back to rhythmic gymnastics and I hope to continue doing it for more years.
