It wasn't until Spain finished that I realized I had been completely transfixed by their routine. Everything from costuming, to choreo, to the vivid neons in their ribbons just made them absolutely enthralling to watch. All of these ladies were incredible, no doubt, but Spain blew me away.

Oh my gosh. Spain was just hypnotic to watch.

*5 Ribbons:* 🇪🇸 *Spain - **1:17* 🇮🇱 *Israel - **6:11* 🇷🇺 *Russia - **10:45* 🇮🇹 *Italy - **15:46* 🇺🇦 *Ukraine - **20:46* 🇧🇾 *Belarus - **25:38* 🇯🇵 *Japan - **34:51* 🇧🇬 *Bulgaria - **39:44* *3 Clubs - 2 Hoops:* 🇪🇸 *Spain - **46:06* 🇮🇱 *Israel - **50:58* 🇷🇺 *Russia - **55:45* 🇮🇹 *Italy - **1:01:10* 🇺🇦 *Ukraine - **1:06:14* 🇧🇾 *Belarus - **1:11:02* 🇯🇵 *Japan - **1:15:42* 🇧🇬 *Bulgaria - **1:20:33* 🏅 *Ceremony - **1:28:30* 🇷🇺 *Russian Anthem 🥇 - **1:34:57*

Italy's routines were so amazing, I really thought they deserved a medal.

The Olympic games in Rio were magic! The arena is huge; the routines, splendid; the crowd was amazing, supporting the ladies as I've never seen in previous Olympic games. Great times!

Who is watching this in 2020 during quarantine😂

Spanish Team's routines are Mesmerizing and Legendary

italy was absolutely stunning the yellow of the ribbons made them stand out so much

after watching spain being flawless in both their rutines and seing russia make so many mistakes in the first one and still get the gold i'm seriusly hearbroken for spain.

No one is touching Russia after that second routine. Holy balls, 9.4 difficulty and 9.233 execution. Absolutely splendid.

Thank you Olympics God bless you 4 years I've waited for this

I still don't understand how Spain got one of the worst scores for clubs and hoops. Like, did we watch the same routine judges?

The Bulgarian team was so delicate! Loved it 😍😍

They make it look so easy, but it is really, so incredibly difficult!

For ribbons I expected Spain to score higher! Russia’s felt a little messy to me

Year 2021 and I still think that Spain deserved to win this final ❤️

8:47 🥰🥰 what a beautiful colaboration! So complex and it's amazing to see they working as a team to produce those mesmerizing movements!

Was really surprised by Spain's performance for the round 1 and Russia, the round 2 and I think they deserved it !!

They should really have a darker carpet to showcase the athletes better.

At least the Israelis smiled at the end! The Spanish team really looked like they were enjoying themselves - and it makes such a difference to the audience watching. The Italian ribbons was just beautiful.

This is so mesmerizing. I can’t take my eyes off this. The longer I watch this, the more the ribbons look like animation, which is really neat. It seems almost magical

Russia’s performance in Hoops and Clubs is out of this world! Very complex routine!

Italy and Bulgaria are always my favourite teams 🇮🇹 🇧🇬 😍😍

Iconic MADONNA "VOGUE" 1:06:30 Ukraine music was AMAZING!!!! They deserve more! The audience go wild! The power of Madonna QUEEN OF POP❤👑👍🏼

My favorite sports in the Olympics have always been gymnastics, diving and swimming but always gymnastics first. I always thought rhythmic gymnastics was a watered down version of real gymnastics for athletes who couldn’t get to the higher elite tiers but now I see I was incorrect. In all fairness though they don’t do much for themselves as a sport as far as PR goes. People either don’t realize it exists or know very little about the sport. Why aren’t these amazing athletes talked about much or get much advertisement if at all? I just happened to come across this video and I’m blown away. This looks beautiful and extremely difficult. It’s enchanting and lovely to watch. I can’t imagine how hard getting all of that down to perfection would be. I get tangled up just trying to use a roll of scotch tape.

Woooooow SPAIN😮👏👏👏👏👏👏

It just feels like Spain hat the most technical difficulty and Italy hat the most artistic beauty and also impressed me the most.

I really think judges wanted Russia to win pretty bad, I accept Russia's second routine was far better than any other team but Spain deserve more than 17.9 for their 2nd routine, just because they went first to perform, judges were more stingy with their scores, they definitely deserved at least between 18.2-18.4

Spanish team is just a treat for eyes...❤️

Девчонки! Вы - молодцы! Страна гордится Вами! Вы - лучшие!!!!

Italy's ribbon performance ending had me in tears!!

Thank you so much! I love Italy and Bulgaria

The only two groups without a mistake were Spain and Bulgaria (I think). All of those routines were so amazing tho 😍😍😍

Milagro!!! Casi 4 años de espera para volver a ver esta gran final... Ojala y mexico se clasifique y que por primera vez historica se meta en la final olimpica...!

Como eu toci pela Espanha, maravilhosas!!

i love watching gymnastics and rhythmic gmnastics. the flow of everything and the beat of the everything is amazing! its addicting to watch be cuz you can't stop.

Really love their outfits look how stunning they were

Wow that was stunning!! Did anyone else get major anxiety every time they threw the ribbon though? 😂 I cringed thinking someone would drop it

I have been waiting for this over 2 years !! Thanks so much !!

these girls are what i want to grow up to be and that is a proud healthy athletes

A ESPANHA 🇪🇸 VEIO MUITO BRASILEIRAS 🇧🇷 ! QUE LINDASSSSS .. cheio de charmes e samba no pé …

Most beautiful sport ever

oh my, the DIFFICULTY of Russia's 2 hoops and 3 pair of clubs, just wow, probably the best hoops and clubs routine ever

Wow. I actually enjoyed Japan. Surprised they scored so low. Not saying the best but definitely not a low 16 in my opinion. Edit : Spain and Bulgaria 😍😍😍

Thank you Olympics God bless you 4 years

Italy was my favourite is was so beautiful

Russia’s 3+2 routines are always the most interesting and amazing to watch! It was the same in the 2012 Olympics. Their 5 Ribbons routine can be easily removed from history (especially those awful leotards), but their 2 hoops + 6 clubs routine is amazing!

Omg tysm Olympic channel! Blessing us with quarantine content!

Italy. Was Fantastic!!! Never seen such beauty with Such Great Music..thank you

I love when they use bright neon colors 😍

Russia won But Spain took our hearts !

Bulgaria was just breathtaking and so were all of the other performers ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love love this final. Spain captivated me, tottaly, Italy was amanzing too (deserved a medal) and the second routine of Russia was out of this world.

Spains routine was GORGEOUS thwy deserves the gold

I DID MY WAITING...FOUR YEARS OF IT!

Todas son maravillosas 👏🥇y cualquiera podia ganar, pero nuestro equipazo también lo hizo genial con una medalla de plata ❤👏🌹saludos 👍🎥🌹

chills all over the Italian's performance

spain's ribbon was amazing!!!

Italy took my heart.

Thank you Olympics chanel for this beautiful gift in quarantine! please ... we also want to see rhythmic gymnastics of the Sydney 2000 Olympics! Thank you

Todas son maravillosas y solo por llegar hasta aqaqui, ya son todas unas campeonas 👏❤saludos amigos 👍🎥🌹

Spain deserved gold medal

Thank you very much for the upload, Olympic! As many here, I've been waiting for some time! ;D

55:45 there were 3 Anastasia's!!!I guess thats a common name in Rssia

The video in the link in the description seems to be better quality than here on KZfaq. Shows more detail, those clubs are really hard to see on far away shots. Any way, thanks a lot for another upload, Olympic channel

I agree with the booing for Japan's 5 ribbons score. That routine was fire. It deserved better.

Russia made several mistakes in there 5 ribbon routine…. I know they came back 100% stronger and smashed it with their clubs and Hoop routine…BUT Spain and Bulgaria didn’t make any mistake…. In both of their routines/ Me personally I thought Russia deserved the Silver Medal not the gold medal. Which makes me assume they could’ve given Yana the gold medal and not to Margarita…. Why so forgiving to the Russian team in the group all round and not Yana in the individual event….I mean it just doesn’t make sense! Plus she only made one mistake instead of several. I don’t want the excuse of because of the difficulty! Yana had more difficulty in her hoop, ball, club and ribbon routine then Margarita’s

Try guys brought me here. I've been missing out this incredible sport.

Italy for the winning ribbon throws in the air! They created an image of blazing topaz in the stage there.

I love this sport so much! I am a little confused, however, at why the commentators thought Ukraine's leotards looked "more like costumes than competition attire". To me they looked more athletic than the Russian's ribbon outfits, for instance, is there something I'm missing? I was a figure skater, where we have deductions for "illusion of excessive nudity"...

GORGEOUS AND TALENTED GYMNASTS

Spain’s performance was much better according to me.

Finally!!! Thank you Olympic Channel

Incríveis! Um verdadeiro exemplo de muita disciplina e treino! Adoro esse esporte!

can't believe no ones talking about belarus, their ribbon routine was so cool!

Extraordinary👏👏👏👏👏👏 i'm in Indonesia 🇮🇩

I love the fact that Russia select a brazillian song for her routine. Kisses from Brazil.😘

finally! I've waited years!

Que linda as espanholas dançando samba.

Thanks for the uploading, Olympic Channel.

Israel’s song was Phantom of the Opera!! Love it!

Cerimônia emocionante.👏👏👏

THANK YOU 🤩

Russia in 3 clubs - 2 hoops was very complex and difficult. They really deserve gold

I still can't believe Spain wasn't given the Gold Medal.

I’ve never seen this sport before and coming from an unbiased point (I usually root for USA or Mexico or Guatemala), I think Italy and Russia were just spectacular.

This is so beautiful :O

Wow amazing performance!!!!

0:30:03 iconic moment

Wow que 😍belleza todas excellentes 🥰👏👏👏🤸🏽

beautiful

amanzing! thanks

El ejercicio de cinta que más me gustó fue el de Italia , españa y el 2 hoop y 6 clubs ukraine ,italy y Rusia

the italians and spanish had me mesmerized

Finally, !!!!!! Since since so long time, Beijing 2008 too pls

Team Bulgaria deserved medal

Spain was definitely the best, but Israel’s was so dramatic and impressive ♥️🖤

0:30:06 thanks! I always wanted to see what an appeal sheet looks like 😹

They are all so pretty and elegant. Wow

I love how i instantly recognized the phantom soundtracks in the beginning of Israel. I thought i was tripping but then it played the theme
