Russian_Junior_Rhythmic_Gymnastics_Championships
The Russian Junior Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships (Russian: Первенство России по художественной гимнастике) are organized annually by the Russian Rhythmic Gymnastics Federation.
Competitors are divided into the following two age categories: juniors (Russian: юниорки, 13–15 years old) and girls (девочки, 9–12).[1] (As of 2020, age 13 to 15 years corresponds to birth years 2005 to 2007, and age 11 to 12 years corresponds to birth years 2008 to 2009.) Juniors perform routines corresponding to the Candidate for Master of Sports (CMS) skill level, girls performs routines corresponding to the First Class skill level.
Some events can be held simultaneously with the senior nationals. For example, in 2019 the individual events took place in January in Kazan as "Russian Junior Individual Championships" (Russian: Первенство России в индивидуальных упражнениях), while the group events were held as "Russian Junior Group Championships" (Первенство России в групповых упражнениях) in the summer in Moscow's newly built Gymnastics Palace simultaneously with the senior individual championships.
