Abstract  
Objective of the study was to determine the actual difficulty of the competitive programs of the leading Russian teams in aesthetic gymnastics.
Methods and structure of the study. The experiment was carried out during the Russian Aesthetic Gymnastics Championship 2023 in Yaroslavl. It was attended by the 6 best teams - finalists of the Russian Championship in Aesthetic Gymnastics, performing under the program of Masters of Sports of the Russian Federation.
Results and conclusions. In connection with the change in the rules of competitions in aesthetic gymnastics (2023), the difficulty of competitive programs has increased significantly, and therefore the gymnasts’ compositions have become more dynamic, spectacular and varied. At the same time, the greatest contribution to the total technical value of exercises is made by combined series (42.8% of the total difficulty), including body movements and an element.

Keywords: aesthetic gymnastics, technical value of elements, mandatory elements, series of body movements.
