2008 Beijing Event Finals - Chen Yibing SR (Gold - 16.600)

[@BMLtagger]

Chen Yibing is the Lord of the rings!!! His routine is beautiful, I have watched it over and over..

[@johndee759]

Is this the highest score.

[@ericwakker3988]

I loved his form in his forward roll. So nicely shaped!

[@darkfantasyseeker]

@@johndee759 One of the highest i think

[@ulises_atlantis]

Yes. It is the best ​@@johndee759

[@CoByTuWywinac]

He is brilliant!!! No other gymnasts perform still rings routine with that swing and strength perfection, it is truly mastery level and 16.600 isn't his best score, he did 17.300 and this is outstanding! I'm absolutely amazed, an epic still rings performer

[@H.Pierre0]

Fourteen years later, I would like to ask you in which competition and in which year he obtained a score of 17.300 .

[@hmcy]

When Chen Yibing is in his best form, no one can beat him as he's the best on the rings, now or ever. He's the one and only.

[@SSbrolly36]

Most ring routines are tough to watch, but I couldn't remove my eyes when i saw this. The best ring routine I've seen.

[@russiangymfan]

Agree, any gymnastics coach who teaches rings should use this video as a lesson material.

[@shazi453]

really dude? Have you even TRIED rings? its one of the hardest and don't judge his arms till YOU did what he did

[@gymnast768]

christ. what a legend. absolutely incredible

[@ahchiu9]

To date, this is still my favorite Rings routine of all time

[@NelAquino24]

I love gymnasts. They do the most hardest maneuvers/positions with elegance and beautiful form

[@thesilentstorms-]

Rightful two time rings gold medalist!

[@nathan10120]

he won silver in 2012. He was robbed.

[@KAMAZcrOBHOM]

Rings his hobby, like a fish in water, GOD OF THE RINGS

[@moefro777]

It's got nothing to do with the size of their muscles. Their arms actually do bend backwards slightly. It's not uncommon for people to have hyper extension in their elbows like that, but it tends to be exaggerated in rings gymnasts because of the stress that rings places on the elbow joint.

[@delibertatem4922]

This is so unfair! I watched this on NBC and even the commentator was surprised when Brazil got a higher score. He even said personally I thought Chen's performance was a little bit more perfect!

[@Koreaninja7]

well, i'm not too sure about this, it's just a guess, but for rings you get deducted everytime you swing (particularly when holding a strength position), and also, his feet may have been too far apart when he landed to count as a stick, which also may have been deduction.

[@jolly_roger2]

I was wondering, did they change the pointing system between this olympics and the next ones? Because I haven't seen this difficulty puntuation in the next Worlds Championships or olympics. The same Yibing had a 6.8 difficulty in London Would like a response, thanks.

[@chung2F5]

They update Code of Points in regular intervals. They've changed it again for the 2017-2020 period, you can check out the FIG site for the new changes.

[@VoimaVahtila]

The rules change for each olympiad (every 4 years). Back then you used to get +0.1 for moving to a higher hold, here he has from cross to maltese +0.1, maltese to invert +0.1, cross to invert +0.1, also the honma to maltese used to be F, now it doesn't exist. D+E+E+D+D+D+E+F+C+D=7,0 + 0,3 for combinations = 7,3. Plus the judging used to be way easier, with nowadays judging this would have gotten around 7,5 for execution instead of the 9,3 he got, and his jonasson & both honmas to hold (cross and maltese) might have received a non-recognition due to going through support. Hope this helps :)

[@CoByTuWywinac]

Just before Olympic Games. In fact, in Beijing and i don't know why that happend , he's difficulty score was lower as he usually did, becouse he drop few strength moves like pull to maltese (balandin) or maltese push to planche maybe it's was a strategy chineese coach... i don't seen here video when he did 17.3 but here is he's 17.0 => watch?v=UpcgyCkGmtg Enjoy :)

[@H.Pierre0]

Thx for the link

[@Sameronei]

thank you

[@omxpablo19]

when did he get a 17.3? this routine is perfect already.

[@safehaven11]

Chen YIbing is very clean.

[@Sail17]

wow. just wow. and i've seen a lot of routines.

[@russiangymfan]

malvernraja: No, Chen Yibing was NOT the last gymnast to perform on rings; he was the 7th, and there was one more gymnast to perform.

[@crystal3286]

his performance at the london 2012 was even better than this, totally deserved a gold medal.

[@HereForTheShips]

Yibing! He's the best and so cute! He's sooo strong

[@hyunjoon.watterson]

1:01 WOW THIS LANDING! VERY CLEAN

[@Sameronei]

is maltese to inverted more difficult than maltese to planche or vise versa?

[@ralucagymnast]

Beautiful is the word which springs to mind watching this; absolutely perfect. Where the judges deducted I have no idea? Anyone have a clue?

[@CaptainYoX]

Wonder if you saw Chen's performance today and his grace in accepting silva.

[@Sameronei]

what happened to him? there are no videos on YT of him in 2010, also he took not part in the 2009 WC

[@fraka899]

@ralucagymnast you probably know till now, but victorian is an inverted maltese.. it's barely impossible

[@ivayloivanov3744]

This might be the highest rings score ever.

[@lordketurah]

"The judges were mesmerized ..." We all were mesmerized ... we all were :D

[@joshuachan100]

Does anybody know why he uses high bar gloves??

[@Rasvatri]

i don't get how he gets this start value of 7.2 ? He preforms the same routine now and only get 6.8, were the bonusses still around on the olympics?

[@johndee759]

What a monster score.

[@vathaj]

keep uploading....... amzing

[@MrMbogza]

who is better, yuri van gelder or chen yibing ?

[@Rasvatri]

@joshuachancuevas just what i tought :p Yeah, and tampakos etc doenst excist anymore either, too bad they took out the bonuses :)

[@johnsonz.5069]

.....they are called hyper extension. it creates better line

[@kevinrznd995]

why does it create a better line? i have hyper extension elbows as well, but it feels like a lot harder

[@Rasvatri]

@Sameronei You can see his crash in the QF of the WC with his dismount, so he wasn't qualified

[@flatlinerking]

@IAMcandiiiii West German gymnast Andreas Aguilar would like a word with you .. check the 1991 world championship performance

[@lordketurah]

You look at Chen's routine and you can't catch anything wrong with it in slow-motion...

[@fraka899]

@admetric i think that actually at this moment aleksandr balandin has improved a lot, and he can defeat chen..

[@ralucagymnast]

That sounds really weird, and for some reason, doesnt sound difficult. Obviously it is, because I have never seen any gymnast perform one. Is it even in the modern Code of Points?

[@hmcy]

@SuperEsds go stretch ur arms to see if there straight or not, not everyones arms form a straight line while being stretched.

[@ralucagymnast]

What is a victorian???

[@srgymnast1]

he didn't qualify for the olympics, but he should have had a shot because hes like, the ONLY person in the world that can compete with chen yibing then

[@systemnate]

Great positions, but I think his holds are not quite 2 seconds. Watch the progress bar..most of them are 1.25 - 1.5 seconds.

[@seaweed9999]

Chen Yibing is cute!

[@TheUnheardVoices_]

🤩

[@Musicaddict2209]

the only errors in that routine are in his yamawaki and whip it to cross but apart from that hes flawless

[@VRJaguarandi]

Clean Routine

[@fraka899]

@IAMcandiiiii ok dude I know who chen yibing is.. but nobody lasts forever.. he is still the best but I see some great pretenders...

[@t3chnon3]

how the fack is 0:54 humanely possible...

[@daboss1221]

the azarian was .1 high (did not enter cross perfectly) first maltese his feet were low yamawaki was labored back up rise planche was low feet low on yamawaki maltese chest low on landing these are the obvious ones. more can be said but i didn't want to be picky

[@govahnator]

Funny, that's exactly what your wife said about you. Only a true champion could display such class as Chen did, despite being treated unfairly by the judges. That's something a desperate Brazilian like yourself could never hope to comprehend, Even Zanetti knew who was truly better, judging from his surprised expression. So I just have to point out that this whole mockery of Olympic sportsmanship shows how little Brazil has going for itself and is far from producing a real champion in gymnastics.

[@akawhippy]

Oh shut up. But I think Anton Fokin from Uzbekistan is cute too.

[@govahnator]

But that's not what your wife said when mine were wrapped around her. Right, and I suppose the 99.9% of expert analysts on TV around the world, former Olympic champions and coaches, and the U.S. gymnastics team were all wrong, or they all simply conspired to call it in favor of the Chinese athlete because they all just hated Zanetti when they saw his face. Only a desperate Brazilian starving for a gold medal handout could continue to fabricate excuses to justify Zanetti's undeserved medal.

[@omxpablo19]

gras.

[@holkn]

i checked, still think he's not as good as Chen Yibing.
