====Men's rhythmic gymnastics====
There are two versions of rhythmic gymnastics for men, neither of which is currently recognized by the FIG. One was developed in Japan in the 1940s and was originally practiced by both boys and girls for fitness, with women still occasionally participating on the club level today. Gymnasts either perform in groups with no apparatus, or individually with apparatus (stick, clubs, rope, or double rings). Unlike women's rhythmic gymnastics, it is performed on a sprung floor, and the gymnasts perform acrobatic moves and flips.<ref name=":15">{{Cite web |last=Galofaro |first=Claire |date=7 August 2021 |title=Left out of Olympics, men's rhythmic gymnasts loved in Japan |url=https://apnews.com/article/2020-tokyo-olympics-gymnastics-entertainment-sports-lifestyle-abeb9ae89ceccd0f95728c07846310e6 |access-date=3 August 2024 |website=AP News |language=en}}</ref> The first World Championships was held in 2003. The other version was developed in Europe and uses generally the same rules as the women and the same set of apparatus. It is most prominent in Spain, which has held national men's competitions since 2009 and mixed-gender group competitions since 2021, and France.<ref name=":22">{{Cite web |last1=López |first1=F. |last2=Del Río |first2=P. |last3=Luna |first3=J. |date=8 July 2020 |title=Rubén Orihuela: "Pudimos demostrar que estábamos exactamente igual de capacitados" |trans-title=Rubén Orihuela: "We were able to show that we were exactly as able" |url=https://www.rtve.es/deportes/20200708/orihuela-gimnasia-ritmica-masculina/2026447.shtml |access-date=4 October 2024 |website=RTVE.es |language=es}}</ref><ref name=":21">{{Cite news |title=Rhythmic gymnastics: One man's fight for equality |url=https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Making-a-difference/2022/0217/Rhythmic-gymnastics-One-man-s-fight-for-equality |access-date=3 August 2024 |work=Christian Science Monitor |issn=0882-7729}}</ref> There currently is no World Championships for this form of Men's Rhythmic Gymnastics.
