THE SPORTS OF EXPRESSION

Rezumat

In this study, we have gathered as much data as possible about the emergence and development of expressive sports. These sports share common characteristics but also many differences, which are highlighted in the study. The development of these sports is constantly influenced by human imagination and creativity, as well as the human desire for perfection and beauty. Sometimes, we tend to believe that we have reached our maximum potential, but each time this is surpassed through creativity and flawless technique.
There is an increasingly pronounced dynamic of change from one competition to another, from one Olympic cycle to another. Regulations need to be changed, elements updated, and choreographic components modified. Today, technology helps us progress faster and achieve bodily techniques that, years ago, we couldn't have imagined. Progress, change, reevaluation for sports that have long struggled to combat subjectivism. Yet, this is the way art tells us that it is present, no matter how objective we strive to be. A virtuous performance can matter more than we might believe. In conclusion, expressive sports belong to that category where art and sport are in symbiosis, and the spectator can only let himself be carried away by the emotions of the moment.
