The velodrome at the CNAR isn't known for its balletic echoes. It's a place of whirring wheels, the clatter of high-speed training, and cheers meant for cyclists. But this past Friday, it bore witness to a different kind of athleticism. One painted in swirling ribbons, punctuated by the staccato of a ball on polished wood, and filled with the grace that comes from pushing the human form to its expressive limits.

Mexico's rhythmic gymnastics team – individual competitors and the senior national team – unveiled their first technical control of the year. It was a dazzling display and a critical waypoint towards their twin goals: The Paris 2024 Olympic Games and the Pan American Championships this summer.
