There is a loophole like this for women’s gymnastics! For our warm-up time, it states all athletes who touch the bar has time added to the total warm-up time. The loophole is having athletes who don’t even plan on doing bars to touch the bar a couple times to ensure more warm-up time for all of us. Never knew that men’s gymnastics had a loophole too though!
@@PeelTheAvacoda One time when I was on swim team, the lady forgot to count my time so she just gave me last. I could see at least two people finish after me lol.
When you compete, when theres less than 10 seconds in your beam routine, they ring a bell. If you don’t finish your beam routine in the given time limit, they take 0.1 from your score reguardless
YOU GET 50 SECONDS!?!? I’m a female gymnast and for my level we get like 1 minute 30 secs (for beam). And for other events (floor, vault and bars) we get *for example* 7 mins and we take a turn, next person goes, then the next and repeat until time the time runs out! Basically we get like 1-2 mins per person In our group, they add all the time together. And if someone takes more time to do their routine then everyone else, we all have to rush to make sure we have our routines warmed up. It’s so crazy!
Okay, so if you have to reset the bars but you didn't do your routine, wouldn't you still need to reset them before the routine? I'm confused on the time frame here
This is why I hate rules. Why can we not just say each team gets 50 seconds x the amount of gymnasts. Rules are ALWAYS blinding. ALWAYS needed. But ALWAYS blinding.
This rule is ridiculous. Once it's all set up, you should put your chalk on, stand in position, alert the judges, then go. What benefit is there to making this part of the event/time limit?
It sounds like they could use 90 seconds since they just used this guy's extra 40 seconds in addition to their own 50 seconds. So yeah, why watch them all use a loophole when allotting an appropriate amount of time is the real answer.
Just more evidence of the petty bureaucracy and power plays that occur among the board members (unelected?) who may not have the actual experience in the sport, so they have no real life experience on which to create proper regulations.
I WAS SO confused at first. Not only did I read that caption wrong COMPLETELY. Having thought it said "we found a fruitloop..." But the thumbnail confused me to too! I mean, why would a gymnast be afraid of jumping down from the parallel bars? SPECIALLY when his whole team is waiting below, ready to catch him! Moreover, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being gay! Furthermore, you should never call someone who is gay, a fruitloop!... Also, what the heck does being scared of heights havento do with being gay anyways! 💀 My bad.

I bet its originally 60 and then some math "genius" finding if you take away 10 sec from every min per athletes and lets say there's 60 of them, that's 10min worth of time slashed. And if there's other warm up or cool down routines or watever, some genius can just slash another 10 sec and when you add all up, an event that takes 7am-1pm can now be 8am-12pm.
The fact that you have to do that in order for them to adjust the bars without it eating into your time is crazy. Soo annoying. Just another crazy rule lol good on the team for finding a loophole
We have a similar thing in powerlifting. Everyone would usually do 3 attempts in each of squat, bench, and deadlift. If an athlete doesn't want to do one of their attempts, the convention is to run down the clock, rather than saying before hand that you're not going out. It gives the other lifters that little bit more recovery time.
I had no idea each person could adjust the bars!! I thought you all had to use the exact same height/width! Wow, thanks for sharing, I’ve been following forever and someone didn’t know that!! So nice for y’all☺️
I'd never thought about it, but it makes total sense if you think for just a minute. People have different body proportions, and if it's wrong it is gonna severely hamper performance because of being cramped or stretched.
Thanks for this vid. Watched Olympics all my life. Never understood why do gymnasts keep sitting on bars after getting done. But now it makes all the sense. 👍
That’s straight up OG team work. Love it and admire the sport and sportsmanship of gymnasts. I am not a gymnasts by any means but heavily into calisthenics which mimic quite a few of your movements. My point being, is made respect because this style of training is utterly brutal.
