Let me express to you the unique struggle of playing an sport that nobody knows about (tm). The thing is that every time someone asks you if you play a sport, you either have to awkwardly lie and say no or go through the effort of explaining the whole thing! I’ve gone through the point system of rhythmic gymnastics so many times I want to scream~ Similar to other dance-adjacent sports, no one thinks it’s a real sport, either! Like, you think the splits don’t take effort? You wanna memorize these routines? Also, with rhythmic gymnastics specifically, everyone always thinks you do aRtIsTiC gymnastics, and then as well as explaining the sport itself you also have to explain how it differs from its sister sport. It’s,,, so,,,, annnnoyyyying.
