Just before reaching the highest point of the back long swing, the gymnast swings his legs fast backwards into a slightly arched position, simultaneously pushing rings out and down. At this moment, the gymnast releases the rings and flight vertically down. He lands in a slight squat.

The gymnast uses the energy from the back long swing of the legs to subsequently raise them high up. Then the potential energy of the body is converted into kinetic energy when the gymnast after releasing the rings falls freely towards the ground under the effect of gravitational force.

• Early or slow back swing of the legs.
• Bent arms.

• Physical preparation 1

  Stretching the pectoral muscles is important. Exercises can be done in pairs.

• Physical preparation 2

  Another option is to stretch the pectoral muscles using an expander.

• Drill 1

  First, practice the dismount from swinging on the still rings.
