Palace of Rhythmic Gymnastics opens in Minsk

The building attracts attention from afar with its unusual architectural shape. The walls create the effect of soaring gymnastic ribbons. The project to build the center was delayed for a long time.

Head coach Irina Leparskaya said she was running from pillar to post to get the project rolling until the Belarus President, head of the National Olympic Committee Alexander Lukashenko took the project under his control. The active stage of the construction project began in October 2016.

The rhythmic gymnastics complex comprises two large training rooms, two rooms for beginners, four choreography rooms, an aerobics room, a swimming pool, two saunas, a gym, a sunroom, a cafe, 18 hotel rooms, a cardio area, a physiotherapy room, a massage room, medical treatment and recreation rooms for athletes and coaches, and an administrative unit.
