I actually really like this. It's a purer form of the sport and focuses on maintained agility and grace. It seems to be more like what the ancient Greeks would have done: bring groups of their finest men/soldiers together to show off their exemplary ability in advanced athletic skills.
@@MegaUpstairs It's legit. One of the ice skating pairs in the winter Olympics from the 70's? had their medals taken because they participated in a professional show a few months before they competed. Some of them may have been from the circus or similar bot not many.
@@djm4854 Historically, to be eligible to compete in the Olympics, you may not be a professional athlete - you may not ever have accepted money or compensation for competing, or received money or compensation for advertising a product using your athleticism. You have to be doing the sport for the sake of the sport and making no money from it. Professional athletes who make money from their sport are ineligible to compete in the Olympics. Today, professional athletes are considered eligible in most sports, but some actually have different leagues for professionals and amateurs.
Only the ignorant mock these athletes and their training. Everything in sports has a starting point. Gymnastics would be nowhere today without what it originated from. Respect!
I know that uniformity of physique and stature have been a long-standing expectation in many events and that the view is only shifting relatively recently, and many people still hold more specific preferences. That said: wow, the similarities form one athlete to another is quite striking! _(This is not meant to address ethnicity or race.)_
That wasn't "gymnastics", but calisthenics or warm up. The horse stuff was kinda gymnastics, but they were a little more advanced than that in competition. Not much, though.
@@erikbaran7197 Synchronized calisthenics was part of gymnastics back then, as was rope climbing, high jumping, running, and many of the apparatuses we know today. Just because the sport changed doesn't mean it's not the sport.
Very much Parkour vibes! Wouldn't it be fun if Parkour got to this lever and there was an Olympic challenge set in each city the games are hosted in and the contestants had to adapt to the architecture of the local region? That would be fun! And we can use use drones to watch!
I'm pretty sure I could do most of the floor exercises, the apparatus however is an altogether different matter, still seems so basic compared to today!
Military training was really the only organized training available for most anything including corporate management. And military training models continue to be some of the best training models available. If only people would make use of those military models ... especially nutrition, wellness and exercise.
I think it would be the sheet if we could put gymnastics outdoors in the main stadium where they do track and field. Definitely gives a different feel.
Wow they are synchronized 😍 and this was from the 1920s so definitely 2000s gymnastics will be a lot different 😒😒 this vid is precious. They could be our grandfathers 🙂🙂
Wrong. This is the actual event. You may notice the uploader is the IOC by the way. This is how gymnastics was performed and yes back in 1924 many events were watched by small attendances. No travelling fans, media entourage or vast swathes of team mates and family cheering them on. just a few curious locals.
Kinda silly, but I would prefer this to the unrelieved repetitive tedium of modern gymnastics routines. For how much longer do we have to endure men's high bar or women's vaulting?
LOL most people think that. I'm not named after her. She is actually only a few years older than me. So unless my mom is able to predict the future....

This is amazing - such a pure form of the sport!
Keep in mind that they were not proffessional athelets, since it was forbbiden. They were just regular people with regular jobs

Who cares ?? They’re all dead now !!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nobody remembers them or cares about anything they did
Forgive my sports history ignorance, but what do you mean by forbidden?

It was more like a workout routine for everybody, to promote public health. Like PE class.
It kinda makes me wanna cry to think about how these men who brought us to were we are today died:( thx rip

Respect!
True!!
The whole vid I thought they were stretching and warming up to actually preform😂 it’s so different now
In 2024, Paris Summer and Winter Olympics games marks 100 Years
Since 1924.
it wouldnt even be considered a warm-up today

I could just hear a Monty Python sound bit in my head.. "hup, hup, hoo!" as they go over the obstacles lol.
it was so different then! wow! it's kind of weird! some of it seems so basic! so it's like a big team event!

Now imagine if Biles had traveled back in this period of time and show them her moves 😁
Biles this, Biles that... Could you stop bringing her name on each gymnastics video?
Stormer Ferrari biles is great
Maurits which would have made her twice the athlete then anyone back then.
it looks more like an opening ceremony to me :D
Paris Olympics 1924 2024 100 Years ago 🇫🇷🗼
Wow. . .this looks more like a modern dance routine than a gymnastics competition to me! Definitely different than what I'm used to!
More strength! Instead of dancing jumping around lol
Name of song is “Return to Tomorrow” by JC Lemay from Cinematic Emotional Stories.
It's so different! Wow!
Very much Parkour vibes! Wouldn't it be fun if Parkour got to this lever and there was an Olympic challenge set in each city the games are hosted in and the contestants had to adapt to the architecture of the local region? That would be fun! And we can use use drones to watch!
Crazy to think that here we are, nearly 100 years later, and the sport hasn’t changed at all.
What an amazing rythme !
Paris is set to host again on the 100th anniversary
Before steroids.
They are not alound to use steroids
free runner They still use them.

it was 93 years ago.....everything would seem basic compared to today.

6 isn't old. Daiane Dos Santos didn't start until she was 12 or 13, and she is a three-time olympian and former world champion on floor.
Back in the time when denmark was in ol with gymnastic (Im danish)😂
I think it would be the sheet if we could put gymnastics outdoors in the main stadium where they do track and field. Definitely gives a different feel.
Wow. They can... skip really high.
That was actually really good. I enjoyed it very much 😃
some of those dynamic stretches look more like ballistic stretches. the look painful.
Very hard training for all gymnastics
I must say, it's a pretty sight:), but how did they judge it???
Wow they are synchronized 😍 and this was from the 1920s so definitely 2000s gymnastics will be a lot different 😒😒 this vid is precious. They could be our grandfathers 🙂🙂
Actually my grandfather was one of them. Still have the bronze medal.
These guys were jacked even back then.
Beautiful video
Kids do those in their gym class
Gymnastics in those days looked like military training
Paris gonna shine again in 2024 ☺️

Are any of them alive still?
this was 93 years ago...they're probably all in their 20's or so in that vid. that would make them 113 or so now..... #math
no
But they were alive in the 70s and 80s so they could see how much the sport had developed.
The East German judge gave this performance a 7.4 out of 10.
Likes a middle school PE class
That was more calisthenics than gymnastics!
I'm in pain watching them warm up. I wonder how many of them had muscular problems as they aged... :)
Kinda silly, but I would prefer this to the unrelieved repetitive tedium of modern gymnastics routines. For how much longer do we have to endure men's high bar or women's vaulting?
que doideira 100 anos
totally cool video. nice job. what music is that?
The one that predicts our grim future
can someone tell me the music used in this video please? much appreciated!
Can’t wait for paris 2024
How are they scored?
no scores! They did for health life! the coach was Niels Buck from Denmark!
Seems more like a team stretch/ warmup to me...
very different from today!
Pas mal la natation synchronisée sur gazon.
thats just "conditioning" right?
nemov22 now yes, back then it was the actual performance 😂
This is more like parkour training
96 years ago...
thats a lot of people in a team
When there wasn't "diversity" in gymnastics and European men dominated the sport! 😊😊😊
These very handsome men! Wow!
I'm confused is it like a warm up??
tout comme les cérémonies d'ouverture ressemblaient à des défilés !
We're not yet in 2024 and I can say that these games had more panache.
LOL most people think that. I'm not named after her. She is actually only a few years older than me. So unless my mom is able to predict the future....
is pretty diffrent
pretty damn scary
1차세계대전이 일어난후의 올림픽..

Wrap this around your head; this was 92 years ago. 92 years before 1924 is 1832. America had been a country for 56 years.
smartbutt
OMG just can't understand the performance
It's synchronized swimmi--oh, wait, that's right.
0:47 harder!!!!
Au moins ils ne sont pas dopés...
At least no doping....

I know East Germany didn't exist until after WW2. I was just joking with my last comment.
some of my friends could do that!!!!!!!!!!!!
yet athletics has done nothing but improve as time goes on, maybe this type of discipline was wrong then
Neat.
