Lords of the Rings

[@vikakmv9261]

Still my favorite gymnastics video, the clip with Albert Azaryan at the beginning with the kids really is touching

[@Maddolis]

The amount of muscle and fitness required for this event is unreal- one of my favourite olympic events for sure.

[@thesilentstorms-]

Yes, Azaryan is the first two-time Rings Olympic Gold Medalist. This record has been tied once (by Akinori Nakayama) and has never been broken.

[@MrMictian88]

Albert Azaryan -> Freddie Mercury of the rings :D

[@fabiorodrigues3x]

This guy's stylish af

[@PeopleOfTheSun100]

You can really see how Yuri Chechi changed things, the strength he displayed really raised the bar. Can't wait to see Jovtchev and Arthur Zanetti in London this year, should be a great competition! Chen Yibing is fantastic though

[@dhruvraghav10]

It was amazing, wasn't it?

[@imirish4702]

love the Azaryan cross. He was well ahead of his time... brilliant athlete... mesmerising.

[@pofkeltlt]

an awesome thing i noticed, when seeing him side by side to other athletes, is that unlike them, he does not use inertia, he does it all staticky... calmly...

[@AnAdorableWombat1]

Not ahead of his time! He invented the maneuver and it was named after him.

[@KaoWins]

Jordan Jovtchev is the rightful gold medalist of 2004 Athens Olympics, heck Yuri Chechi himself pointed this out after the routines were over.

[@tashaschneider1419]

These guys are so amazing - favourite sporting event EVER!

[@CosNaProgu]

That is by far the best ring compilation I have seen, thanks man

[@hermanosdesangreverdellc.399]

I have been watching this video for mora than 9 years. Pure inspiration!

[@adryano402]

My god . Chechi does the cross and greets the jury bowing his head 3 times

[@dadbad67]

Yuri Chechi is still in great form and teach both, gymnastic and calisthenics here in Italy

[@yordancho]

Jordan Jovtchev: 2004 True Olympic Champion (Athens, Greece) Very accurate description my friend ;]

[@tix5094]

yes, I agree

[@BatSvilko]

WOW! what an amazing video, my skin thrilled!!! enjoyed every minute! I didn't knew that that in the 50s there were so many strong people! And you could add the dude which invented the inverted cross in 1938 thank's too for being objective and giving props to all of the athletes and even recognising Jordan Jovtchev for being winner in 2004 (where after watching all the qualified mens in my humble opinion Tampakos didn't deserved even to be between the first 3, but thats other question)

[@brandond2868]

Jordan Jovtchev, that 2004 routine had all the strength elements all done in a row without rest. This was before a swing to strength element was a requirement. So he just did them all in a row and got huge connection bonus for it. And really was the true winner of gold in 2004.

[@Attila1025]

One of my favourite youtube videos.

[@gega27tt]

awesome! RESPECT for all the gymnasts specially at the rings! wow

[@jp500ayno]

Albert Azaryan has swag on the rings, its all in the mustache :3

[@freerunnerJ]

Yuri Chechi at 4:54. Now THAT is badass! lol

[@kayper54]

Nah... the guy playin' to the crowd is the best. HE's the one who makes look not only easy, but FUN! I need a vicodin....

[@marcxopoco]

Albert Azaryan, greatest male gymnast ever.

[@minhkhoi_sw]

He was very strong even though people don't have much experience like nowadays. I mean how did they know the method, how did they program their routine, how did they achieve those skills that professional gymnast still struggle nowadays

[@pradysaligram4130]

Replying 11 years later woah how different that guy’s life must be

[@markbowerii7632]

can we take a moment to appreciate what it takes to just dead hang from those rings for just a moment? This event it's just such an incredible display of arm, back, upper body, and core strength and control. These athletes spend a great deal of time on their strength but I'd be surprised if they didn't spend even more time on control.

[@MarioPiconGymnastics]

Iordan Jovtchev the best of all times. He competed in 6 olympics. And was the true 2004 champion, not Tampakos

[@powerteniapowertenics3806]

Even Yuri was better than tampakos he deserved the bronze at most

[@crysty200718]

Dmtry Bilozerchev was just great, even with his sad accident he was just great! God bless him!

[@victoriasawanas]

I so love the music. Very nice and beautiful video. Thank you.

[@mr.harrow222]

Best vid on youtube! This is a great anthology, it contains almost everything you need to know about still rings! These guys were phenomenal, mad respect!

[@PeopleOfAr]

this man is a pioneer, you can't compare him to current champs. He was the main man in his own time, he even invented moves that are still very popular today and bear his name in remembrance. You guys need to put things in perspective instead of bashing a legend. It's easy to do that for the current guys as well you know. With the drugs and steroids they use... Everyone deserves respect and certainly this man who made an impact on the sport in his time.

[@akawhippy]

Yuri chechi has always been my favorite male gymnast.

[@SkateTutor]

All of these athletes are AMAZING!

[@MuhammadAli-xr1qc]

Alber Azaryan is King of the Rings.!

[@shagy13]

Alexander Dityatin won 3 gold 4 silver and 1 bronze for a total of eight. Still one of the greatest showing of talent ever but not eight golds.

[@user-dd1oy7co2j]

Albert Azaryan, Alexander Ditantyin, Dimitri Bilozerchev, Chen Yibing ones of the Bests. But Szilveszter Csollány is closest to my heart. An avid athlete and teacher, I am deeply sorry that he died. R.I.P.

[@omxpablo19]

5:41 its so perfect.

[@sandro14esandro14e]

Wonderful to see what a human body can do with determination

[@accoev4791]

amazing progress in the sport in the past of the years

[@fabiorodrigues3x]

0:43 fookin beautiful

[@rbaleksandar]

They are all superb athletes. Stop arguing who's the best etc. etc. Just enjoy watching them for this is pure art.

[@tagmandan]

Sunking ''state of mind'' is a great track to play over this great video

[@DiGiTaLdAzEDM]

Awesome strength!! Just ordered a nice set of wooden rings from Xtraining Equipment tonight. Shoould be a great addition to my home workout setup.

[@thesilentstorms-]

Albert Azaryan! First Rings Olympic Champion to defend his title, I believe.

[@curlcurllocal]

Most impressive humans alive. Amazing.

[@Space_Soul_Jupiter]

Azaryan number 1

[@Basichamp]

Downloaded and saved, before Gema is going to close this video again ;) Yuri Chechi = epic move xD !!!!

[@AS-ReHMn]

!... I never thought that Szilveszter Csollany will pass away sooner than Albert Azaryan, but unfortunately, he did in 2022. 1. 24... R.I.P. Szilas!

[@tomicgym]

great video.But i suggest you to put to the top of the rings the two time olympic champion Dimosthenis Tampakos.

[@murat_yurttas]

THIS is the real beast mode. Great respect to all of them.

[@lexsoft3969]

3:41 I think that is the 1st time I saw rings performance on a photo in a newspaper, featuring Dmitri Belozerchev. So, everytime rings performance is discussed, Belozerchev comes to mind.

[@rosejimenez9166]

Great workout.....

[@bboyroyds]

best gym video i've ever seen. Van Gelder is a tank

[@handstanddude]

Very nice compilation....!

[@lexsoft3969]

Although I am more familiar with the names of Alexander Dityatin and Dmitri Belozerchev, I have to say that Chen Yibing and Zhen Dong are the most impressive to me here. For horizontal bar, Epke Zonderland at 2012 Olympic is the most memorable.

[@stefimandi186]

R.I.P. Szilveszter Csollány.

[@natcomber13]

Agreed. One of the best inverted crosses ever.

[@Fizniperal]

The last 6 are clearly the best, even considering the athletes are now competing. But Yibing Chen is on another level.

[@GeoffTaucer]

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

[@Fizniperal]

one of the best video ever

[@briantbmoth6472]

This move is so impressive! Yuri did a very job. 💪🏾

[@donhancock332]

To really appreciate this event and how difficult it is, try out the rings at your local cross- fit gym.

[@lexsoft3969]

No need to prove it. I can imagine how hard it is that I don't want to try. A combination of strength and other things I cannot think of. Just awesome.

[@theharnix]

Dan Grecu...Where is he?

[@Peppermint1]

Why the movement at 1:09 is not longer at the Olympics?

[@ManiekStar]

10 min of epic :)

[@granthashimoto4385]

My abs burn just watching this

[@jgaides]

u should make a montage like this with all the events

[@jamchew1982]

yibing is a freaking beast... unreal moves.

[@lordn3m3sis]

Yuri Chechi of course :) Proud to be italian!!!!!!!!!

[@TheBlueSclerae]

The cameras progressively got better from the start to the end of this video.

[@Patdu67]

Balandin and Rodrigues are awesome too !

[@Zver4eko]

Nice! Lord of the rings =) I'm just waiting him to look at the rings and say "My precious".

[@TheRogueMonk]

can someone help me get arms like that? how do they workout? they all have great long head of the biceps

[@jabalkatatata]

You should add the sixth Olympic games to Jordan Jovtchev's list and his admirable 7th place when he is 39 years old :)

[@jasonbannister4139]

An excellent video. However, a 'lord of the rings' without the inclusion of Li Ning, Yuri Korolev and Andreas Wecker... that could be a problem!

[@pradysaligram4130]

Yuri Van Gelder 🙏🏻

[@moefro777]

@MNgymnast25 van gelder admitted to recreational cocaine use. It's not a performance enhancing drug...

[@OD_Geek]

I came here after hearing the news about Szilveszter Csollány. :'(

[@Rtype1000]

OMG, ultimate in balance and strenght. LP

[@RottenRroses]

Even though I find the rings competition to be the most boring and unappealing of all the gymnastics disciplines, I must admit it is impressive.

[@TheRogueMonk]

can someone help me get arms like that? how do they workout?

[@Sinjid142]

@TheRogueMonk if you want a similar body you have to do artistic gymnastics or do rings training

[@hollowsunlight]

I'd add Yan Mingyong and Danny Rodriguezs for sure

[@robib.7098]

Good video but where is Ivan Ivankov ?? :-D

[@shattersidvik]

Plange press to hand stand is easy... I did one on parallel bars at a weight of 220 lbs. Of course, I hurt myself but still...

[@tpeterb]

01:39 to 02:17 is pure power and balance!

[@TheNervousnation]

...yeah but like how many pushups can you do bro? ...yeah but like how many pushups can you do bro¡¿ 9:22 this is absolutely incredible ..to me, the suppression of that vertical and rotational momentum. I know its Olympic season and whatnot... ...and yeah i am only recently fascinate and amazed about what the human body can achieve...but I'm here now! no, i was not paying attention at the time it occurred, in fact i could care less....throw a few years ata doo, and look here, I am blown anew the fuck away ! also, i am lazy and need to get off my ass. Chen Yibing all day

[@giovannyramos9697]

Anyone know what the name of the soundtrack? thanks

[@hermanosdesangreverdellc.399]

5:36 El primer Jesucristo invertido. Técnica mas difícil

[@darrylnimmons1334]

LOVE THAT MUSIC .DOES ANYONE KNOW THE SOURCE.

[@vikakmv9261]

It’s in the Description :)

[@rudyrg313]

Good video... But where is Dan Grecu ?

[@southoreast]

@Dalamen Man! I thought i was the only one who thought that. He greatly resembles Guile, doesn't he? lol!

[@Beadle87]

serious strength,respect..

[@violetaterzieva7673]

Jordan Jovtchev is the best and number 1. for me !

[@CEMOSHKUPI]

RESPECT

[@miki4630201]

Whats the time of the song

[@TheBladedOne]

a true iron cross

[@exzonbg]

Jordan Jovtchev ftw 6 olympic game in a row

[@CrocoduckRex]

Chen Yibing -> Jovtchev -> Dong Zhen

[@Pakerek4444]

drum and bass- terminator style

[@Tigerchoke]

i agree,its sad....they can actually let go of the rings nowadays,their forearms rest on the rings....that being said azaryan with his long arms and normal grip must have had forearms made of adamant

[@omxpablo19]

2 questions. i know false grip helps the forearms, but id imagine without false grip your wrists would have to be alot more solid. does it make it that much more difficult on the wrist? 2. why dont current gymnasts cut the false grip or resting forearm bullshit and just strengthen their forearms?

[@yolandarodriguez2154]

Where are they now😮

[@xehanortxix851]

Living in the galaxy🪐

[@dufe1145]

the most worth 10 minutes video of my live.

[@gitanso]

Where is André Zanetti???
