    In men's artistic gymnastics, floor exercise is the first event in the Olympic order.
    The gymnast has 60 to 70 seconds to perform a mixture of acrobatic and non-acrobatic skills, including circles, scales, and press handstands.
    Unlike women, men perform without music.
    They are able to showcase strength, balance and elements of flexibility to create a harmonious rhythmic exercise.
    In this video, we'll take a look at the 5 most difficult skills performed on floor.

    I feel like it needs to be acknowledged how insane the Liukin was for that time. Not only was the skill unprecedented, but he was doing it on a floor with significantly less spring to it than today. Just amazing.

      Nagorny and Liukin are incredible difficult to perform due to the amount of height needed on the jump. Anyone who performs them deserves respect. Nargony is esp undervalued too. It's difficulty is much more than Liukin but it's only scored 0.1 higher.

    Next year there will probably be a new addition to this list from Nikita Nagornyy. This man has been practicing an even harder skill than his triple pike. The new skill is a Triple salto backward tucked with 1/1 turn or better known as a full twisting triple back. I remember when he first started competing the Liukin everyone thought it was impressive and now he’s adding a full twist to it.

    • @honeyfromthebee
      @honeyfromthebee Před 3 lety +3

      That’s a good point. I’ve thought about it myself. I’m thinking it’s just form habits at this point. Even with his triple pike, which is massive, he still bends his knees, has a small leg separation, and has flexed ankles. He has the power, but would love to see him clean up some of the small things where he loses small tenths.

    • @ianstratton1629
      @ianstratton1629 Před 3 lety +2

      When you hit it right, pikes generate a lot of rotation. Some argue you can rotate faster piked than tucked. Has to do with pulling your feet over your head as opposed to knees to your chest. But piked flips are also way more technical, which makes them harder even though they can seem to flip easier.

      Not in MAG. As far as I know, only Kristof Willerton has competed a triple layout in men's power tumbling. That was on a rod floor, (bouncier than an artistic spring floor like you see here), and with the kinetic energy of roughly 80' of accelerating whips to help him build power. Doing a triple layout on a square floor is a considerably more difficult prospect.
      Here are Willerton's passes from the invitational where he debuted the triple layout: czcams.com/video/Wawhph2QMXY/video.html

    What's the most impressive of them? ALL OF THEM!! These guys are the closest we have to actual superheroes. By now, about 150 men have run 100m in under 10sec, but you won't find even a handful of people being able to perform any of these skills.

      they can indeed but the only "points" are by D-score - you can create a skill that has a low D value
