At the qualifier of 2018 All Japan InterCollegiate RG Championship, Aomori University MRG team was determined to win their 17th consecutive victory. However, right after they started their group routine, the music stopped abruptly. They kept performing without music, which means their score is greatly deducted for the lack of accompanying music. At the finals next day, they showed splendid performance to win the championship.

[Men's Rhythmic Gymnastics] Men’s rhythmic gymnastics (MRG) is a sport invented in Japan nearly 70 years ago. There are two variations of MRG, solo (where gymnasts perform with one of four apparatus) and team, which focuses on tumbling, flexibility, balance, and synchronization. Today there are nearly 2,000 men’s rhythmic gymnasts active in Japan, from junior clubs up through top universities.
