Beginner's Guide: Rings - Strength in Suspension

Beginner's Guide: Rings - Strength in Suspension

00:49

Ever wondered how gymnasts hold a perfect cross with arms fully extended, no swing, no momentum to hide behind? This is your crash course in the rings. We break down the strength holds, the swings, and the dismount — the elements that separate the rings from every other apparatus. Learn why stillness is harder than movement here, and what judges are really looking for in a hold. Watch the best of gymnastics live and free on Eurovision Sport.
