From the official Report of the 1956 Summer Olympics:
Probably the most popular and spectacular item was the women's gymnastics team exercises with portable apparatus and music. It was a spectacle of controlled rhythm and concerted movement that has never been seen in Australia before. Hungary was the noteworthy winner, but public acclaim calls for mention of Sweden (second) and Rumania, with their exciting and unforgettable music and costumes.
The event would be the foundation for rhythmic gymnastics, which would debut at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
