That’s the hardest sport in Olympics, you need to combine an superhuman strength with an amazing body control and balance. Maltese planche in rings is absolutely crazy
The amount of strength and body control to do that is almost superhuman. which is why I believe gymnastics is the hardest sport in the Olympics, for most other sports, you could at least give it a go.
@@guillermodiaz2773 weightlifting is extremely difficult, but gymnasts is def way harder. Not only do you need to have this amount of strength you need endurance power, flexibility, and endurance.
@@guillermodiaz2773 I am a lifter and I really think gymnastics is way harder. The movements are so much more complex and they have a higher ceiling than lifting
@@itsmefriedpotato6429 extremely strong athlete who also created one of the most extreme element on the still rings, the problem is that he often gets his points deducted because sometimes he bends his arms and other times his form isn't the cleanest (shaky rings, oscillating, etc...), not to mention his dismounts aren't those you see in olympic champions.
I wouldn't say pain tolerance, we mostly do tendon and muscle conditioning to avoid pain and injuries, if you're tolerating pain it means your joints aren't strong enough ahah
Isnt it crazy how 99% of what these guys do is reliant on strength and balance but at the very end you also need to do a flip with a bunch of twist - something very different from the rest of the routine
His strenght Is insane, but his routine looks like a bunch of elements (perfectey executed) one after the other with no connection. Still insane body control
just coming form the mens' floor final and wondering the same. although there was a high level of technical difficulty, the artistry is missing and I don't enjoy watching these things as much.
gymnastics is obviously the most difficult sport - simply because that is what it purports to be. "can you top this?" anyone can throw a baseball, or run. having said that . . . it also takes a very specific body type.
