    Lots of comments about music lately. I have used music of all genres on this channel, there have always been some who like it and some who don't. In the end, I just choose what I think is best, so you don't need to spend the time and energy commenting. Nobody is forcing you to watch this video. Have a nice day.

      You gotta achieve the mindset too , but even then any tweaks or old tears or bad lifestyle habits that get in the way, for atleast 10 good years of work? Forget about it. And you gotta do it in that sweet spot of your prime years that it can handle the overtraining that is necessary for that peaking phase for max effort performances. And even then to do as good as him is still unlikely. Legend

    What you experience when watching this (if you’ve tried any calisthenics at all) is the same feeling I have when watching football …
    It’s like I know what I can do …
    I never realised it was possible to be that good , that precise , that accurate.
    It’s an art to watch in of itself …
    It’s whee talent, genetics and a lot of hard work & discipline met , and the result is truly beautiful, something to behold.

    Thanks for the video. I like gymnastics very much and this man displays strength and control on a level I have never experienced. It's very sad that he was unjustly prevented from performing at a higher level as he should have.
    A suggestion on the sound track. I find acoustic music without lyrics is most appealing to accompany high level physical and world class abilities and performances. Words are a distraction and quite dissonant. Music alone is much preferable IMHO. To use the first word that comes to mind when listening to this sound track: suicidal. The gymnast buy contrast was so amazing and full of life. Muting it was a non issue.

    Yuri Van Gelder also missed the 2012 Olympics because he admitted that he used cocaine three days before the Dutch championships. Yuri is a grown man. He is not a victim. Yuri is responsible for Yuri missing the 2012 and 2016 Olympics.

  • @yidy1
    @yidy1 15 дней назад

    Yuri Van Gelder is a talented gymnast known for his strength, especially in the rings discipline. While he has demonstrated exceptional strength and skill in his performances, it's subjective to claim him as the strongest gymnast of all time. Gymnastics is a diverse sport with various disciplines, and strength is just one aspect of overall performance.
    There have been many outstanding gymnasts throughout history, each excelling in different areas of the sport. Some notable names often mentioned for their strength and overall excellence include Vitaly Scherbo, who won six gold medals at the 1992 Olympics, and Kohei Uchimura, a multiple-time world champion known for his all-around prowess.
    Ultimately, determining the "strongest" gymnast of all time is challenging due to the subjective nature of the sport and the different criteria used to evaluate athletes. Each gymnast brings their own unique strengths and skills to the sport, making comparisons difficult.

    Question? Was it just the one single continuous routine being shown, or the same repeated from different angles and put together for this video.
    It would be so nice see the whole routine uninterrupted from the beginning when he grips the rings, to when he dismounts and any score given is shown. That would be awesome.
    Sad about the music. I found it very off putting to what was being shown. Turned off the sound half way and watched in awed silence. Each to his own.
