Lots of comments about music lately. I have used music of all genres on this channel, there have always been some who like it and some who don't. In the end, I just choose what I think is best, so you don't need to spend the time and energy commenting. Nobody is forcing you to watch this video. Have a nice day.
Yah bro I was going to talk trash about it at the first part of the song being corny sap, but it's branches out and gets pretty intense. Talented whoever it is.
Relax... Yes the song choice was pretty rough on this one, but the hate comments HELP YOUR VIDEO... So just relax and let them help the YT algo work for you.
Absolutely beautiful video! I love how this part goes so well with the song at 1:39. I wonder if Yuri ever watches these edits or knows how loved he is in the calisthenics community... He will always be a legend and my motivation
You gotta achieve the mindset too , but even then any tweaks or old tears or bad lifestyle habits that get in the way, for atleast 10 good years of work? Forget about it. And you gotta do it in that sweet spot of your prime years that it can handle the overtraining that is necessary for that peaking phase for max effort performances. And even then to do as good as him is still unlikely. Legend

@@GOPIKRISHNANSADASIVANPILLAIbro what are you saying, every gymnastics athlete begins in square one, some have an edge over others because of childhood or genetics, but everyone started at level 1 and kept growing until they became beasts.. I started at level 0(few pushups) but i learnt the planche after 3 years of hard work
thank you for making this video. Yuri's been my motivation in my calisthenics journey. unfortunately i never got to see him compete live since i only found out about him last year.
What you experience when watching this (if you’ve tried any calisthenics at all) is the same feeling I have when watching football … It’s like I know what I can do … I never realised it was possible to be that good , that precise , that accurate. It’s an art to watch in of itself … It’s whee talent, genetics and a lot of hard work & discipline met , and the result is truly beautiful, something to behold.
This guy is ridiculous beyond belief, the strength required to be that smooth and fluid is insane, basically he’s a mutant super Humanoid. What I’d give to be able to do just one of his skills . I’m sure his competition was glad he got bounced from his team so they could hav3 a chance
His strength is absolutely unbelievable, the people who took his dream away a just petty individuals who were unable to perform and jealous of his pur talents.
The greatest demonstration of strength I have ever seen. Beyond human. Short levers help as well as the genes to allow that level of musculature to develop, but years of relentless, focused dedication also. So sad that he made one poor decision and lost out on what would probably have been an Olympic gold.
I turned off the volume (in this particular case the music was a distraction), and was able to peacefully watch as near perfection as possible a extremely talented athlete. Thanks for the video, the music not so much.
I can't even imagine how devastated and upset he was after being suspended from the competition. The Olympic Games are the highest goal that an athlete goes to all his life. But the rules are the same for everyone, and I'm sure he realized the consequences of his action.
Rasu, this video edit, the way you began the video, the song you choose, literally everything makes me cry !!! I was going to comment after finishing the video, but this edit is wholly different level brother, I am commenting right now after pausing the video at 2:26 mark !!!!!!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🎆🎆🎆🧨🧨🧨
No other man alive deserved those beers more! 🤣😜 A thing of beauty & strength like no other. I don’t think ppl can even begin to comprehend how hard that is. & he made it look so perfect!!! 🤯❤️😎
Extraordinary skill and strength. The inverted cross is remarkable. Is he the strongest gymnast? I dunno. But he's truly a force to be reckoned with 😳🤯
Thanks for the video. I like gymnastics very much and this man displays strength and control on a level I have never experienced. It's very sad that he was unjustly prevented from performing at a higher level as he should have. A suggestion on the sound track. I find acoustic music without lyrics is most appealing to accompany high level physical and world class abilities and performances. Words are a distraction and quite dissonant. Music alone is much preferable IMHO. To use the first word that comes to mind when listening to this sound track: suicidal. The gymnast buy contrast was so amazing and full of life. Muting it was a non issue. Thanks
Impeccable fucking video. It's all perfect: Yuri's technique, the choice of music.. man. Gonna be in my playlist when I hit the rings tomorrow for sure. Fuck.
Alot of people out here saying rings are only if you wanna be a gymnast. I kindly say fuck that. I'm commin for ya Yuri... as I still struggle with rings turned out support holds
❤ I am 78 years old from 🇮🇳🙏 gymnast, divers,and weight lifters are my favorite motivator s..I am masters diving champion. Swimming is simple diving is dangerous. 😉
he literally looks like Terminator. You would think doing something this extreme would AT LEAST require breathing with open mouth, no - he maintains this brutal poker face while doing the most difficult exercises.
Just a pull-up on rings compared to bar much harder. A dip on the rings compared to bar dips levels of multitude more difficult Doing what this beast is doing in this video is just absurd strength. Normal everyday people have no idea , because this guy makes it look like he’s using minimal effort . Take the average Joe off the street and get him to perform a deep ring dip . Good luck
Most average joes are just one deep ring dip away from snapping the whole shoulder girdle and obtaining maxed tendinitis in both joints and proceeding to snap the legs as well as they deep squat their way to full body snap city. The overpriced therapy required will take the rest.
@@parkerwilliamson1205 I made that stupid error when I began doing body weight dips going real deep like a hero Both shoulders are still crook til this day. These days I just go to 90 degree elbows . It takes years to develop the strong tendons
@@dashroundaustralialuckily my shoulder wasn't healthy enough anyways because of baseball to go too deep. So it kept me from going too ham because just looking at em brought pain lol but now I can do a full routine with no pain all due to seed retention really. Never would have healed otherwise. Probably still be drinkin too. God speed bro keep pumpin
Yuri Van Gelder's amazing concentration, focus, attention to each individual element, and his mammoth strength is unparalleled in gymnastics. What a disgrace to disqualify him. He deserved to live-out his dream and fulfil his destiny as the best that gymnastics has to offer. Shame to all those who took this away from him...SHAME!!!
Let me tell you something might ease your mind . iam from Egypt reason i tell you that to show you the gab in culture . and that wasn't my type of music at all but man way Yuri was looking sharp while hang up there and singer screaming just was perfect all i seen is Yuri screaming "discipline & hardwork" that got me there . and it motivate me was just what i was looking for , getting gym rings in week from now so iam grateful for you. you will always find ppl who troll or in most cases they are sick i don't mean mentally i mean they got like something chronic so they short temp or get triggered so easy . try consider that while reading comment and you will be fine. sorry for my bad English i was just moved by the great vedio yo made so had to comment.
Many years back I saw a performance it might’ve been this guy. I think it was for some kind of exhibition fundraiser. Dude rolls out to the rings with Iron Man by Black Sabbath playing and he had a skull mask on. And just crushed the hell out of the routine. One of the sequences was backflip to a handstand into an inverted iron cross to a Maltese cross to a standard iron cross to a left side Olympic back to a regular iron cross to a right side Olympic, and then back to an iron Cross and then crossed one of his legs up over his knees, like he’s sitting in a chair and this is no big deal. And that was just one sequence, late in the performance. There was a ton of other crosses and big heavy moves in there. But watching this guy dip down deep Maltese going back up to three-quarter and transitioning holy shit my shoulders are exploding just looking at it. 😂
Yuri Van Gelder is a talented gymnast known for his strength, especially in the rings discipline. While he has demonstrated exceptional strength and skill in his performances, it's subjective to claim him as the strongest gymnast of all time. Gymnastics is a diverse sport with various disciplines, and strength is just one aspect of overall performance. There have been many outstanding gymnasts throughout history, each excelling in different areas of the sport. Some notable names often mentioned for their strength and overall excellence include Vitaly Scherbo, who won six gold medals at the 1992 Olympics, and Kohei Uchimura, a multiple-time world champion known for his all-around prowess. Ultimately, determining the "strongest" gymnast of all time is challenging due to the subjective nature of the sport and the different criteria used to evaluate athletes. Each gymnast brings their own unique strengths and skills to the sport, making comparisons difficult.
Always remember winning is not everything . The phenomenal strength of the man is just incredible, as his is mental strength. I take my hat off to you mate 😁
For boxing you need a different kind of strength. Boxing works a lot with kinetic energy/ force. Meaning most of the power comes from the lower part of the body.
To those who criticize the music and are not satistied which just watching these incredible feats of strenght. The easiest thing in the world to do is criticize, try doing a tiny fraction of what this gymnast can do. Do better
Wow! Question? Was it just the one single continuous routine being shown, or the same repeated from different angles and put together for this video. It would be so nice see the whole routine uninterrupted from the beginning when he grips the rings, to when he dismounts and any score given is shown. That would be awesome. Sad about the music. I found it very off putting to what was being shown. Turned off the sound half way and watched in awed silence. Each to his own. You still get a like though.
Yes, this gymnastics master is absolutely the best ever. I remembered him from back in the day. Didn't realize that craziness happened to him. Over a few beers! what a robbery, I smell a conspiracy🤐
i believe that even top athletes can have serious problems with addiction, and impulsive decisions. van gelder is one of the best on rings and made it to the top only to have it crumble because of his dopamine receptors and nucleus accumbens being focused towards a short term gain (fun and party) over the long term (becoming the best ringsman who ever lived).
I think everyone has his problems and we all have and will do mistakes. I think we shouldn't interpret too much. What we do know is that he is a great athlete and he deserves this.
@@art_of_defying_gravity i am not trying to speculate or imagine things beyond what all the involved people, including van gelder, have said. his colleagues have said he is a party guy, and he himself admitted as such. he has two sides to him, where he is a serious and top form athlete, but also a propensity towards partying and vices. i don't care to make a moral judgment, because no one is perfect. however, it is simply my personal opinion that van gelder made a serious mistake to drink and party (even if a little bit) before such an important moment of his career such as the olympics, especially when he was already on thin ice for being caught positive for cocaine before multiple times. he should definitely have given his performance, for which he was actually a very strong contender to get gold, and THEN partied and got drunk as much as he wanted. instead, he made a crucial mistake to drink before, and the olympic committee and coaches etc. simply could not allow that since he was already considered penalized before for cocaine use. but, alas, that is simply how addiction and short-term thinking works, and we simply have to accept that addiction comes in many forms and can affect anyone. this is what i take away from the life story of van gelder, hopefully even if his olympic career is gone forever, he can continue to bring up gymnasts, gymnastics, and especially speak to the glory of the rings for the rest of his life. after all, in the calisthenics and gymnastics community he is very well regarded as a talented gymnast. his story can be inspiring precisely due to his mistakes, and not inspite of it.
Rings is the only real gymnastics discipline, the rest are easy in comparison. Van Gelder is probably the best there ever was on rings. A bureaucratic mess like the olympics cant affect that fact, much as they wish they could. He was not a drug addict, he was a sportman.
The time and investment he made in gymnastics was way more than partying. There are people that basically make partying a full time thing, often musicians and bartenders, etc. He wasn't like that. All it takes is one incident is a month long period to fail a drug test, or it could be even more than one month, depending on the nature of the test. Edit: I suppose the leaving the Olympic village when he knew it would get him disqualified did demonstrate a genuine problem of self-control, although the performances stand on their own. I don't like him, but I would still cite Jon Jones as the best mixed martial artist ever, even though he was impulsive and frequently used drugs and drank/drinks to excess.
a piece of paper or a trophy of gold is meaningless to immortality. even when there are no longer Olympic Games and all previous olympians have long been forgotten, there will be place for greatness. it will be preserved in time, until time itself is no more.

For boxing you need a different kind of strength. Boxing works a lot with kinetic energy/ force. Meaning most of the power comes from the lower part of the body.
They would do better at wrestling than boxing, boxing requires explosiveness more than sustained periods of strength.

instead, he made a crucial mistake to drink before, and the olympic committee and coaches etc. simply could not allow that since he was already considered penalized before for cocaine use.
but, alas, that is simply how addiction and short-term thinking works, and we simply have to accept that addiction comes in many forms and can affect anyone.
this is what i take away from the life story of van gelder, hopefully even if his olympic career is gone forever, he can continue to bring up gymnasts, gymnastics, and especially speak to the glory of the rings for the rest of his life.
after all, in the calisthenics and gymnastics community he is very well regarded as a talented gymnast.
his story can be inspiring precisely due to his mistakes, and not inspite of it.
Rings is the only real gymnastics discipline, the rest are easy in comparison. Van Gelder is probably the best there ever was on rings. A bureaucratic mess like the olympics cant affect that fact, much as they wish they could. He was not a drug addict, he was a sportman.
The time and investment he made in gymnastics was way more than partying. There are people that basically make partying a full time thing, often musicians and bartenders, etc. He wasn't like that. All it takes is one incident is a month long period to fail a drug test, or it could be even more than one month, depending on the nature of the test.
Edit: I suppose the leaving the Olympic village when he knew it would get him disqualified did demonstrate a genuine problem of self-control, although the performances stand on their own. I don't like him, but I would still cite Jon Jones as the best mixed martial artist ever, even though he was impulsive and frequently used drugs and drank/drinks to excess.
@@michaellopez2070he should have left the celebration for after he had finished his performance he has trained so long and hard for.
Espectacular y musica perfec 👌🏴
I loved the music
Almost all the people will scream like the song when they try this.
Guys, what calisthenics athlete, do you think is the most closer to Van Gelder, i know nobody is on his level but the most closer
Freaking Beast !
More than a Superman
The music for this video sucks. It is horrible!!! He is a phenomenal athlete 💪
Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's horrible
You Suck!
At 198lbs I did 5 1 arm pull ups with each arm. But that was 40 yrs ago. Gotta be young and un injured! This guy probably could do 15 each!
Nasty choice for the music, bro.
REAL MASTER
a piece of paper or a trophy of gold is meaningless to immortality.
even when there are no longer Olympic Games and all previous olympians have long been forgotten, there will be place for greatness.
it will be preserved in time, until time itself is no more.
Great music…
Really cool video, randomly suggested. But the music definitely takes away from it. Sorry.
I was about to disagree with you when I heard Aphex Twin at the start, but after hearing the second track I agree fully.
@@bjm1777 yeah Apex twin is legit, it was the second song for sure.
Agree
Amazing seemingly effortless control. Are we sure he’s not Superman and able to fly?
