Men's gymnastic rings continue to amaze fans and challenge gymnasts every year. It is one of only a few gymnastics events that are still a male only event. This apparatus requires amazing control and flexibility. And the upper body strength that is demanded in order to successfully complete the sequences of swings, lifts, and holds keep fans fascinated.












Gymnastics rings have a history dating all the way back to the 1800's. Adolf Spiel, a German gymnast, first introduced this event to gymnastics and is credited with its start. His original equipment featured triangular handles and rope cables. From there, the event went on to eventually appear in the 1924 Olympic games in Paris, France.











The basic framework of the equipment has remained the same from Spiel's original set, besides the handles going to a circular shape. Many different materials have been used over the years to make the equipment needed for this event. Materials have ranged from hemp to steel cables and wicker to wood handles. The current measurements accepted by the gymnastics world are 18 cm diameter circular handles and 300 cm cables placed 50 cm apart.











Skills are always advancing in difficulty, but some fundamental skills still remain relevant. Skills on this event that date back to its beginning can still be seen in performances today. These fundamentals include holding arms straight in a handstand position or holding your arms horizontally resembling a cross. Routines usually consist of a sequence of holds, swings, and aerial dismounts.











Deductions will be given for any flaw that exhibits the gymnast lack of body control. Common deductions on this event are for poor posture and shaking arms. Also, the handles must appear still at the end of every skill set. Dismounts can quickly earn penalties if the gymnast lacks control and fails to land on their feet. As with any other event, any falls from the apparatus or during dismount will end in deductions.











Albert Azaryan is often noted as one of the great rings gymnast in history. He is credited with internationally introducing many popular skills such as the iron cross and the crucifix. Azaryan was the first person to win 2 Olympic gold medals in the rings event. A title only held by one other gymnast in history, Akinori Nakayama.











Gymnastics rings continue to display a gymnasts amazing ability to challenge their body. The control of the extreme upper body strength needed is an example of the true athleticism of a gymnast. Exact precision, difficult skill sets, and pushing limits are all what's expected to compete in today's elite competition circuit.
