Arthur Zanetti Wins Men's Artistic Rings Gold -- London 2012 Olympics

[@oblivion2563]

in my opinion... gymnasts are the ultimate athletes... amazing strength, agility, flexibility, gravity defying moves... just amazing.

[@TvikrPritam]

True that!

[@elynarvaez2000]

Totalmente de acuerdo ..sí en otra vida fuera hombre quisiera haber sido gimnasta

[@thomasgrabowski2202]

true beauty and strength combined....I love it :P !

[@retardno002]

True, but their lower body strength is a bit disproportionate. I do rings (muscle ups, front and back levers, iron cross, l-sits etc.) and combine them with snatches and cleans for power (fast strength) generation. Lots of physical therapy stuff with bands and slanted boards too. As a former MMA fighter I value health and balance more than most.

[@1351caccac]

@@retardno002 fully agree with you that. Gymnasts' legs arent compatible to their upper body strength but if their legs get too big it wont be enough comfortable for them to do skills like planche, maltese, victorian cross,....

Can we all just acknowledge for a second that Iordan Iovtchev is 39 years old and made it to the olympic finals in the rings?! That's freaking amazing! Many people I talk to think that just because you get old your body is still with it if you keep exercising, but that's just true! I don't think people realize that like car parts in a car, the more you drive the car, the more you'll need to replace parts to make it run smoothly and our bodies are the exact same way. It's not about the energy (although keeping up energy is a factor-yes) that keeps your body going when you get older, it's about the good parts that you have left and can get warn out very quickly! This guy looks so fit, but I can tell you at age 39, I'm SURE (especially doing gymnastics), his parts are worn and torn, yet he still makes it to the top ten and doesn't even come in last. This is his six olympics- six! Good on you man and may your parts not have to be replaced soon! Let's have respect for people like this and be understanding of people in their 50's and up who may take a lot more time to get moving. It's simply because their parts are worn out! (FIY it's not an old person writing this, I'm only 33).

[@gonkillua14]

Be honest he looks over 50 yrs old

[@diosdadoapias]

the problem with your analogy is a human is not a car machine. you can not replace human parts with new one. energy could be maintain but there is a difference when one is younger who does not make optimum of its training to maintain optimum strenght.

[@purplesnowqueen12396]

@@diosdadoapias alot of things on a human can be replaced? Hips, knees, rotators cups. Then they can be reinforced with metal if they break. Tissues can also be replaced, such as ligaments and tendons valves. Either from cadavers, donor humans, or animals with similar tissue structure that mimics a humans. So the human body could very well be compared to a car, or machine. All are complex systems, always looking to be improved for the future.

Sete anos depois e ainda continua tão emocionante quanto no dia!

[@james2175]

Zanetti's shoulders are on the same level of his hands all the time, and this is how gymnasts are supposed to hold their positions. Chen's shoulders are always higher than they should be. Also, Zanetti kept his positions for more than two seconds while Chen had trouble holding for that long. The way Chen lands his dismount makes him lose 0.1 for keeping his feet apart, while Zanetti's step on landing only costs him 0.1 as well. Zanetti is the undisputed champion. If you think otherwise, read the code of points.

[@XxOffTonexX]

well in the code of points it says that the shoulder needs to be at the same height as the rings not the hands. Making Chen's holds without a deduction except for one of his maltese holds at the end of his routine. It was close and to the judges discretion, But Chen was not getting deductions for height in his routine, probably mainly being deducted for false grip on every skill (-0.7).

[@alex3114]

Chen yibing still should have one

[@jceepoker3256]

Agreed. Zanettis first planche was wobbling all over the place. Chess movements were so smooth w minimal movement

[@mikey2751]

Bro thats called protraction holding a dead maltese doesn't make it harder or anything the maltese should be slightly higher your shoulder should be slightly higher than your hands cuz look at zaneti it looks like he is doing a back lever and not a maltese and im not spitting words like that even Van gelder held his maltese sligthly higher to show that he is not in back lever also zaneti DID A STRADDEL PLANCHE AT THE OLYMPICS why was he able to do maltese but not simple planches when plance is supposed to be easier than maltese CUZ his maltese was dead maltese almost back lever thats why smh

Chen used a false grip/over grip(using a bend wrist rather than a straight wrist like others) on most of his elements. Judges can deduct marks from you when you use a false grip. It is much harder to do those strength elements with a straight wrist.

Both Zanetti and Chen had absolutely stunning performances, and a lot of people saying Chen was robbed. However, I have to agree with the judges on this one. Chen's shoulder's positioning in his crosses cost him the gold, despite having a better landing. Overall Zanetti had better alignment and execution.

[@MariadeLourdesAraujo-ts2fr]

Gringos aceitem que doi menos.

Chen had a good landing, but you have to account for the fact that they also get deducted for legs being apart on landing, along with even the slightest execution errors, like the way his body was too high above his hands on his Maltese crosses.

Congratulation to Brazil, Zanetti is definitely one of the best, but this time his victory is a salty one.

[@VoimaVahtila]

@Allen Clw , Are you serious? Did you miss how Chen has overgrip in all his holds, too high malteses and for his crosses he goes way too high and then lowers to the hold. Whereas Zanetti had flawless strength elements, overgrips only in his 2 malteses, his only clear mistake was that one step on the landing. If something here was wrong it was Chen getting way too many points just for being the previous olympic champion.

People still wondering why Chen lost - Azarian cross held too high, maltese too high, whippit cross caught high and lowered, second maltese high, slight wobble in handstand, feet very far apart on landing, false grip every strength skill. You have to be extremely critical if you want a real explanation for results. If you compare routines, you will notice now probably that Zanetti's strength moves are all level, some with no false grip, this makes a huge difference.

[@gabrieldeabreu624]

@Everything Blessed You're right, strenght training is all about repetition of movement patterns, as you accumulate more time spent, if you're doing it right, you'll definitely be stronger... But for elite gymnasts, theirs strenghts are close to peak, and they have to keep a really high volume of training to maintain this level, therefore, recovery potential plays a huge role, so it's hard to keep up as the years go by (But 20's and early 30's are just fine). For women it's due to their flexibility, they don't need raw strenght that much, and as they get older they tend to have less estrogen (And more testosterone, women tend to get stronger around their 30's), wich impacts your joints constitution and makes harder to perform the moves. Of course there's a lot of variables to justify their peaks and their downs, but i pointed some reasons to start, it's not only about human performance, but human performance in elite gymnastics context.

For all those arguing about them not having muscular legs. It's an Olympic sport event where your execution and performance is everything. Many of these isometrics require you to push from your waistline (centre of mass). Naturally it would be much easier to hold these positions if your centre of mass isn't shifted any lower than that. In fact, most calisthenics athletes prefer slim body and strong upper body muscles more than a traditional body building physique for the same reason. You need insane straight arm strength for these isometrics and if your centre of mass is more towards you lower body it will be a lot more difficult to execute them holds properly.

Nothing builds Physical Character and Mental Discipline more than Men's Gymnastics.

I cannot begin to imagine how difficult this is

Zannetti, Yibing and Morati, they are the best of the best. No words..

People keep complaining about Chen's gold sign. Why don't you do some research before commenting. Gold and Red are colors that mean wealth and luck and are apparent everywhere in China. He wasn't thinking he was gonna win gold and had that sign made.

[@smei4356]

Thank your for the explanation. But, seriously, the sign he put up in front of his chest is the national emblem of PRC. It is not about colour at all.

Is this elbow bending genetics or does it come with the training? Most gymnasts have overbending elbows (more than 180 degrees)

[@anelcoel]

It's probably genetics, at least in my own case. I'm a woman, not a gymnast and I have overbending elbows.

[@artificialisdeus]

I think its a little of both. Constant stretching, use of the tendons and ligaments at full range of motion, and locking out of elbows on certain skills can alter the elbow beyond the normal scope of human movement. Two friends of mine, one a dancer and one a squash player, both can hyper extend certain limbs because of their sports. Though I don't have any study to back that up :)

[@Graphicationed]

artificialisdeus Hellrun1 Can be genetics or it can be achieved with just getting used to the pain.the first few months hurt like hell, afterwards you get used to the pain and then you just become stronger in the elbows. no study to back this up by the way, just self experience with rings and floor work. I also believe I will suffer in my elderly days, but then again, "yolo" right?

[@shockslice7632]

Hellrun1 The elbow does in fact naturally bend slightly more than 180°. Walk to a mirror, lift your arm to the side, and put your palm face up. You will see it goes a little over 180. But I take your point, there may be more bending over time from the physical stress.

[@andreiradu7851]

***** You should be careful with that, connective tissue training should never hurt. When doing straight arm training you should always work at a level where you dont feel the pressure on your tendons or you will develop tendonitis over time. The trick is to increase the angle/force gradually
