DIMENSIONS Measures of the apparatus are published by the FIG in the ''Apparatus Norms'' brochure.
EXERCISE An exercise on rings consists of swing, strength and hold parts. Generally, gymnasts are required to fulfill various requirements including a swing to held handstand, an aerial dismount, and of course, a static strength hold. More experienced gymnasts will often perform more than one strength element, sometimes even doing different holds back to back. One of the most famous skills done on the rings is the Iron Cross. This is done by extending both arms straight out from the body and holding oneself up in the air for at least two seconds. Other common strength moves include the inverted cross (simply an upside-down iron cross) and the Maltese cross where the gymnast holds his body parallel to the ground at ring height with his arms extended laterally. This is regulated in the Code Of Points . Gymnasts specialized in the Rings discipline EXTERNAL LINKS |
