Rituparna Chatterjee combines sports and fitness in a lighthearted manner - enter her gymnastics world!
Gymnastics is called the mother of sports requiring a perfect combination of balance, strength, flexibility, agility, coordination and endurance to execute a typical pattern of exercises that combine grace and mathematical precision in an aesthetic form for its spectators. If mastered well, it can help you do any other sports easily. Gymnastics evolved from ancient Greek exercises including skills for mounting and dismounting a horse, and from circus performance skills.
The cities of Sparta and Athens in ancient Greece are generally credited as being the birthplace of gymnastics as a sport. The most popular type of competitive gymnastics is known as artistic gymnastics. In this discipline, women compete in events such as floor exercises, vault, uneven bars, and balancing beam, while men compete in floor exercises, vault, Roman rings, pommel horse, parallel bars, and horizontal bar. The International Gymnastics Federation, or FIG, is the organisation that oversees all of the recognised gymnastics competition disciplines, including artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, trampolining, tumbling, acrobatic, aerobic, and parkour.
Rhythmic gymnastics also incorporates aspects of ballet, gymnastics, dance, and the use of apparatus, among other things. It consists of five individual routines that are performed on a floor area using the following five apparatus: a ball, ribbon, hoop, clubs, and rope. The focus is more on the aesthetic than the acrobatic aspect of the performance. At this time, participation in the rope event is not permitted. The Olympic Games, the World Championships, the European Championships, the World-Cup series, and the Grand-Prix series are the most important competitions for rhythmic gymnastics.
Rituparna Chatterjee is an accomplished gymnast who competes in artistic and rhythmic, as well as in fencing, painting, and travelling. Rituparna, a national gold medallist in artistic gymnastics, began her training in the sport at a very young age while she was still attending the Girls' High School and College in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, for her academic studies. She went on to become a national champion. She attended the University of Allahabad for her Master's degree in Psychology and graduated with honours (a central university). When Rituparna was in the fifth grade, she competed in the 19th Sub Junior Gymnastics Championship in Mumbai, which was organised by the Maharashtra Amateur Gymnastics Association in 2005. There, she won the first of her two national gold medals. This event served as the beginning of her quest toward achieving national success. Other national competitions in which she won medals include the following: the All India Grand Millenium Masters Gymnastics Championship in 2005, which was co-hosted by the Gymnastics Federation of India and the National Sports Academy in Allahabad; the 48th All India Junior National Gymnastics Championship in 2007, which was hosted by the Jalpaiguri District Gymnastics Association in West Bengal; the 49th Junior National Gymnastics Championship in 2008, which was hosted by the Orissa Gymnastics Association in Cuttack; and the 54th All India (Andhra Pradesh). In 2005, Rituparna participated in the International event–2nd South Central Asian Gymnastics Championship, which was jointly organised by the Gymnastics Federation of India and the National Sports Academy, Allahabad. Rituparna was a performer in the rhythmic gymnastics competition. In addition, Rituparna has been a rank holder in a variety of events at multiple Uttar Pradesh State Gymnastics Championships. In 2009, she participated in a National Level Gymnastics Camp that was held in the Balewadi Stadium in Pune.
Olympic gymnast Ms. Deepa Karmakar had been one of Rituparna's competitors at the Jalpaiguri National Championship. In addition, she was featured on the souvenir cover of the 21st National Sub Junior Gymnastics Championship in 2007, with the gymnast and winner of the Arjun Award and a bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games, Mr. Ashish Kumar.
Rituparna attributes all of her success to the fact that she was able to train and discipline both her body and her intellect via gymnastics. This enabled her to concentrate on and perfect the more nuanced components of any study that she pursued.
In addition, Rituparna claims that the training she received from Indian and international coaches, as well as the participation she has had in both national and international competitions, have been of great assistance to her in both understanding and acquiring various performance techniques, as well as providing her with the opportunity to engage in an interesting cross-cultural exchange while interacting with regional and international gymnasts.
Rituparna expresses her gratitude toward her family for their unwavering support and boundless enthusiasm during her entire career as an athlete. Her late grandpa was a well-known doctor in Allahabad and was known as Dr. S.K. Bhattacharyya. He was a significant source of inspiration for her. Because he was a fitness enthusiast himself, he had instilled in her from a young age the belief that it is essential for every person to maintain a healthy level of physical fitness.
The advice that Rituparna gives to everyone is to maintain a regular fitness routine despite the monotony of everyday life, because disciplining your body teaches you how to discipline your mind as well, which is necessary for the laborious work that is necessary for greater accomplishments and glory.
