Top 10 Gymnastics Horizontal Bar Releases at Olympic Games | Top Moments

[@felixwijnberg438]

I watched the horizontal bar finals in 2012 live and Epke Zonderland, and it was the best I've ever seen period.

[@OlivL0live]

Same, what a memory! And live also for the Hambuchen one which was really clean, powerful and emotional for its farewell routine. But Uchimura and Neimov have the best styles by far in my opinion, also Wecker was clean AF 😲

[@Anogram]

That must of been awesome. I am jealous.

[@chaoticyank5772]

Number 1 was so well deserved. I have the biggest smile on my face from that one.

[@TheCaptainJade]

Epke’s routine is just so fun to watch! So sad he fell at Rio, but at the same time I’m happy that it opened up the field for Hambuchen to get his long awaited gold. We’ll see Zonderland wow us again in 2022 I think!

[@モレッグ]

Not so beautiful. Judges did not take off the point where they should.

[@brunnoribeiro3840]

And he's a surgeon. At school at the time and he won the european championship in 2019. Epke is epic!!!!!

[@LegoMovieTutorials]

@@モレッグ what did you smoke while watching

[@モレッグ]

@@LegoMovieTutorials Take a look at his legs when his three combo flips, it’s not closed and last Cassina is not twisted enough. So his performance is dynamic, but not beautiful in terms of the standard of gymnastics.

[@strangelee4400]

I'm usually horizontal at the bar too.

[@rinzebrouwer3808]

He actually has done 4 elements in a row at his home gym

[@grinner76]

I remember watching Epke's routine live back in 2012 and gasping while he did those 3 releases in a row. I was expecting to see it in the top spot. Wasn't disappointed.

[@happyeverydayeverydayokay3407]

The last performance was breathtaking! Deserves to the number 1 !👏👏👏👏

[@vsoltero88]

Epke is the most exciting one for me. But for overall beautiful routines, I don't think you can beat Kohei and Fabian. Fabulous routines, all of them.

[@BlingThePuppy]

You can tell Zonderland did outstanding by the way his competitors (incl the silver & bronze medalists that year) were so genuinely happy for him after his scores came out.

[@bloodrainicorn6193]

No wonder Nastia Luikin can swing a bar so beautifully. Look at the form in Valeri’s routine. Stunning. Absolutely Mesmerizing.

[@danceblues1713]

Zonderland's 2012 HB routine never fails to amaze me. Never get tired of watching that.

[@juliefitzsimons3882]

The flying Dutchman. Super appropriate. What a great and exciting routine

[@reubenaceabayabay1990]

I always go back to Epke’s routine. Truly amazing.

[@rockymcduffie8603]

liukin was a total stud in every way

[@luukjoling1]

Love seeing no.1 Epke without commenters, this way you can really hear the crowd! Goosebumps! 🌈

[@anne-marie_.]

Yeah let's go

[@yh-yd8ku]

Epke's powerful maneuvers are always amazing.

[@hanlieloyd9260]

Cassina's routine is beautiful. Also Hambuechen and Uchimura did such amazing work.

[@RegenbogenNeko]

You can hear the german commentator go berserk in the background with Fabian Hambüchens performance 😂 And what a great Performance it was!

[@isabelsmith3775]

if you look in the crowd during Epke's routine you can see a guy in an orange shirt taking pictures but he stops at the 3 releases in shock and tries to give a standing ovation

I've seen Epke Zonderland live during European Championship in Szczecin 2019. He is amazing!

[@TheFetter04]

So glad to see Alexsei Niemov on the list he won me over a long time ago watching him win bronze pretty much single handidly for the team that was failing badly round... his parallel bars were jaw dropping!🥇

[@playonkorg]

Epke and Fabian, each other's neighbors and each other's direct opponents and each other's close acquaintances......thats power.

[@bbatjargal1549]

Nemov and Uchimura are OUTSTANDING!

[@Agju]

i don't usually watch men's gymnastics but i happened to be watching in 2012 and caught Epke's routine and its stayed with me all these years. i still can't get over (no pun intended) how he was able to do that. :)

[@Rose07013]

Epke and Igor Casina are the most breathtaking routines ever I watched their performance every now and then never get tired of watching their routine 👍my favorite

[@jdtaylor81]

Cassina - he changed the game on high bar

[@justinmechanic17]

Epke didnt care if he died up there 😂 Omg man. Incredible.

[@lexsoft3969]

Yeah... Epke Zonderland. I watched his performance live on TV : it was wonderful.

Igor was really something.👌 Flawless.👌

[@sweetpjeb23]

I'm not gonna lie. I never realized how fine Valeri was back then... why do so many male gymnasts have perfect bone structure?

[@jromh8813]

Apart from the fact that they average what 5,7 at most? Valeri a pretty good looking dude though

[@АлексейКошкалда-н3й]

Это космос. Ребята,... молодцы

[@xtk7]

Nemov’s 6 straight releases at his last olympic should be mentioned among them.

[@roelvanrossum5709]

First of all its 4 straight releases, and the first 3 of them are basic level. But I agree with you it should have been mentioned

[@OEdwardsZ34]

Zonderland was absolutely superb

[@Lea_Kaderova]

I met Alexei Nemov once, he is so cool guy.

Thanks for posting!!!! Great video.

[@yui7073]

Zou’s part is too short. He is so cute but talented and powerful. Best time of Chinese gymnastics not like the Rio one. And 2008 Olympic is really competitive and so many talented gymnasts from many countries all offered great performance.

[@roberthorton9820]

Zou received the typical home cooking bonus. He legitimately earned silver.

Just curious why don’t you put the full routine footage of the Beijing gold medalist? Like the other nine.

Maybe they couldn't find the archive footage for the entire routine?

Yeah really and Zou Kai's full routine can easily be found.

Zonderland is great on flights, but has inconsistency regarding body alignment and positioning of the legs. I prefer the American and German routine.

It kinda makes me happy too when they landed and they're also smiling after that. Like yaaaaaas you did it! I'm so proud of you, stranger!

Trent Dimas came out of nowhere to win the high bar gold at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. Check out the releases in his routine.

[@scaryfear21]

Andreas Wecker is my personal choice. Absolute concentration! Geetings from Russia.

[@Malfoy1594]

Epke is INCREDIBLE!

[@Cookingtrade]

Nice one I really love it

[@ctbozzzz]

Where is Trent Dimas’ shocking upset from the 1992 olympics?? Though not considered especially difficult by today’s standards, it was one of the silkiest, most perfect routines I’ve ever seen. And he knocked all the soviets off the podium in a once-in-a-lifetime routine. It was USA’s last chance for any medal at the olympics and I’ve watched it over and over and over!

[@JennaLeigh]

Gotta give a shout out to Trent Dimas who shocked everyone by medaling in Horizontal Bar in Barcelona in 1992!

Great video.

[@PageMarker1]

Got to see Nastia's Dad, the original Gaylord and Kovacs (phenomenal routine!), the German guy escape the misfortune of competing against the best of them all, the Flying Dutchman, amongst other outstanding performances. I thought Wecker had the best technique of them all with very little if any pike in his giant swings as it showed in his clearances in his release moves.
