[@everthcruz788]

A most difficult apparatus great work and skills by these champions

[@santosofyan7512]

Amazing, Max defend the Gold Tokyo

[@azdedergyanvasiliyefievic4225]

Marius Urzica love from Greece

[@JoshuaWhittle]

These men's skills are just amazing omg

[@johnnywang5465]

I feel Urzica should have won also 2004…. After so many years, Xiao Qin is still the GOAT on the apparatus, even the performance 2008 wasn’t the best…

[@PageMarker1]

The Romanian was a pleasant surprise, and I didn't see his 2004 performance. Agree on Qin, best I've seen. Breaks form to slow down.

[@izziemeghan2446]

I’d just like to mention Louis smith who won a bronze at Beijing and silvers at London and rio :))

[@aliensoup2420]

Lee Chih Kai of Chinese Tai Pei.

[@AidanHolland]

Since 1988 every athlete who won the Olympic gold medal in the pommel horse were either reigning world champion or european chsmpion going into the Olympics.

[@marvnuts]

I'm just imagining all the banged knees and charley horses these guys get during practice.

[@aliensoup2420]

I did it in high school. One guy dislocated his knee-cap hitting the horse during a competition. Pommel horse was the least of my worries. I was more afraid of dislocating a shoulder on rings, or falling onto the parallel bars. I never learned any advanced skills because I was too afraid of injuries. I didn't even bother with the vault. Running full speed into a solid object was not my idea of fun.

[@Jukka70]

Just amazing, and that has got to be the hardest apparatus by far. It's taken out more athletes

[@absidyabsidy2727]

Rings are harder imo, but horse is definitely scarier

[@ivanjimmyleonardovasquez7717]

Marius Urzica he's the best

[@allaina6399]

Me watching with carpal tunnel syndrome: 👁 👄 👁

[@MrCbell57]

This guys definitely done his time on a pommel horse!

[@penguinbelly]

It's like their skills and strength devolve over time.

[@jeffersonferreira1931]

Urzica ❤️

[@chithongnguyen2590]

The first and the fourth, incredible.

[@MariaBuendia]

I love Max Whitlock but seeing the Hungarian guy is beautiful 💕

[@oszivlogs2560]

Yes. And Krisztián is so kind in real life.

[@TheMajesticice01]

Isn’t he! He’s the best I’ve EVER seen!

[@TheMajesticice01]

Khristian from Hungary is so elegant on the pommel horse! Nice long lines

[@Ueiksg]

Question: can you use the underside of the apparatus?

[@aliensoup2420]

Only if you want to look perverted.

[@misaelcruz4804]

why do they all rotate counter clock-wise?

[@AnibalOrtiz-rf9kx]

Marius urzica el mejor

[@niharika_raina]

See the description. When did pommel horse become badminton?

[@nestrmex6028]

Romanian and Hungary were the best

[@aeh5109]

Teng Haibin is so cute

[@katew5952]

lol intern needs to reread the first line of the description

[@fathimarania8633]

Please make a video for the great athlete marit bjoergen of norway making history i

[@spritualandhealthy7704]

Amazing whooooooweeeeeeeeeee wow

[@chuckcassidymusic]

Imagine what Max Whitlock would score if he pointed his toes like everybody else at this level! Like 17 or 18!

[@KyKCuk51]

Urcika was tie best

[@kodrinsky]

Berki!!!

[@kimemerson8728]

People have NO clue how difficult this apparatus is.

[@Hmongboi228]

I still can't even comprehend how one would go about training for this at a young age. Obviously, this gymnastic event is easier when younger but what about "older" people past their 30's? Is it even possible to do this at 30+ years of age?

[@bbatjargal1549]

This is the most difficult and condemned apparatus for male gymnasts! Probably, the best pommel horse gymnasts were Soviet and Russian - Dima Belozerchev, Vitalii Scherbo and Alex Nemov, the Soviet, Post-Soviet and Russian gymnasts!

[@jamil41345]

No there was a north korean guy who used to do best performance

[@bbatjargal1549]

@@jamil41345 About whom you are talking about? I know there was a North Korean guy who did a very hard Vault, which was named after him! Other than that I do not remember any North Korean male super gymnast!

[@jamil41345]

@@bbatjargal1549 His name is Pae Gil - su

[@omegacroc2928]

@@jamil41345 tbh I would say Chinese are the best at pommel horse. Xiao Qin has the best form and cleanest swings of all time.

[@andcar2544]

Why only 5 for MAG but 10 for WAG???

[@natalialemishka1291]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ferdyoga7463]

Let MAG do balance beam instead of this one

[@elmotociclista9296]

Not hating on Max... But come on! These guys have a great form... Max Is piked and doesnt point toes nicely

[@ianmckenna6146]

Even if he doesn’t have the best shape he has the highest difficulty, which has earned him two Olympic gold medals

[@elmotociclista9296]

@@ianmckenna6146 sure, also he was a great all arounder, but... His form alone Is far from the rest on this list.

[@sneakymongoose8703]

I agree but its just the way the judging is. Max is clearly the technically weakest pommel horse worker on this list, but he not in terms of deductability. (for example) he clearly has the least height in his basic circle than anyone else, but this isn't deductable unless he actually brushes/hits the horse. He is able to get out a routine of incredible difficulty and keep up an execution that isn't deductable, even if it is clearly less proficient than his predecessors

[@NavinKumar-ie5ye]

Very difficult games 🙄🙄

[@hei198709]

2000 one is the worst still like Xiao Qin the most even he had a near miss XD

[@naturestories9427]

[@jerrymarcos68]

Don't get me wrong. I like Max, but those flexed feet.. 😢 don't let me enjoy this routine

[@aliensoup2420]

Max doesn't have a great body style, but he has the most difficult, long routines. The Asian men often have the most elegant form on Horse. Notice how straight and extended the Chinese guys are.

[@WokeQueen2]

Can you guys Get Twice to perform at the Olympics? The Japanese really loves them

[@CarlsCozyCorner]

Imo pommel horse is one of the most boring events in gymnastics. Maybe the most

[@pmasepticmind]

You spelt hardest wrong

[@Agnosticc]

It's amazing... Badminton is also boring.

[@Sunflowers9191]

Yes it’s boring to me too because all the routines look the same to me 😅

[@lexsoft3969]

For me, floor exercise without somersault is the most boring.

[@zereqiel3756]

because you dont have a clue what is going on.
