Promotes and supports athlete-focused rhythmic gymnastics programs for all ages in Manitoba.
On March 30 Rhythmic Gymnastics Manitoba held a Control Competition at the University of Manitoba. The athletes had the opportunity to do 2 routines each, and receive feedback from the judges. There was a good turnout with 25 athletes in all NS levels from HPTCI, Arabesque and Sapphires. A special thank-you to Emily Richard and Tracy Chu for their work planning this event!
