It’s gonna be like in the old cartoons, when the character is running off of a cliff but keeps running in the air until it realises there’s no more ground underneath it and falls down 😄
People who haven't tried rings have zero clue how incredible this is. I'm a strong chap, I was a sponsored whitewater kayaker for years, 24 years windsurfing - I have rings at home and I can not do any of the moves he does. It's next level. So much admiration and respect.
Missed an inverted cross in his routine. As for the rest of the elements just stunning to witness his control and strength displayed. He's not just a lord, he's a full blooded still rings royal.
His inverted cross is actually very good. He used to do pineda to inverted. But I could not find the entire routine for this movement. Maybe I'll put it in another video.
Maybe when it comes to shoulders and arms. But what about climbers? They are the strongest pound for pound when it comes to finger strength. And weightlifters definitely have stronger legs. Powerlifters have probably stronger pecs. Strength is specific, saying athletes in any sport are the "strongest" is stupid because they specialise in a specific kind of strength. Not trying to put down anyone, gymnasts are amazing. I just found sport comparisons to be stupid
Gymnast have the best physics out of all the sports people weightlifters could learn a lot from these guys I know they do that pull up curl on the bar that just slaughters your biceps try doing 10 and see
In gymnastics it's called hook grip. You position the rings on the inside of your wrists. This shortens the lever of your arms, making static strength holds a tiny bit easier.
Wow... at my best I could barely hold the iron cross, and it wasn't perfectly aligned I believe. As for the rest, just impossible without heavy specific training. And to do one figure after another like that is otherworldly. Damn!
He treats him like some thing of his own. And his behavior is so arrogant as if he was showing this performance. At the same time the champion’s behavior is so modest.
I was thinking the same. I mean, I don't know who of them is better, but at least I found really inopportune and unkind (not to say disrespectful) towards a legend of gymnastics to make such a remark. Well, given the accent of the speaker, I would have expected any...kind of unkindness.
Jury Chechi is the only Lord of the Rings: 5 times w champion, 1 gold and 1 bronze at the Olympics (and he missed his second olympic game due to a broken Achille's tendon, otherwise it would have been another easy gold).
"Petrounias has won the gold medal at the European Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Basel, Switzerland surpassing the legend of the sport from Italy Yuri Chechi. This is the fifth gold in a row for him who has become one of the greatest gymnasts of all time and one of the greatest athletes in the world of sport "
@@Peterpan-ok hey, we are talking about world championships, here, that's what makes you a legend in gymnastics. Chechi won 5 and Petrounias only 3,. And Chechi had a broken tendon in 2000 and another injury in 1992 which stopped him for years , otherwise he would have at least one olympic gold more and european and w championships. I realize you are greek, but 2 world championships more is a lot. Most of all, when there is another athlete who's been given the nickname "Lord of the rings" 20 years before you, who is better than you, that nickname applied to you is immediately laughable. Write back when Petrounias wins 2 more world championships
@@marcofoschi3811 I also realise you are italian! The comment i wrote it wasn't mine but from a newspaper! Anyway at the time Checchi had won those medals the competition wasn't so hard as today!
Write me back when Chechi would have won more European golds from Petrounias! Never! Instead Petrounias has still the opportunity to win more medals! The last one have won it after a surgery that he had on his arm!
@@Peterpan-ok don't even talk about injuries because Chechi missed 1992 olympics due to a broken Achilles tendon and 2000 olimpics due to a broken bicep. Facts are that in the european championships a lot of champions from the rest of the world don't compete, in fact Petrounias has been beaten often in the world championships: he wasn't the best. Facts are that any mentally sane man will tell you that a world championship is 10 times more important that a european championship. And Petrounias is still 2 gold short from Chechi . And also 2 bronze medals. So write back when petrounias wins 2 golds and 2 bronzes at the world championships.
@@jonny_037 ..he won 17 not 26...and 4 of those in a competition that most athletes don't even go to..a collegiate competition...Petrounias skills accede Yuris by far technically.
That’s a dumb comment by a person who has never owned a competitor’s license issued by a national sports governing federation. I’m always amazed at people criticizing sports, athletes, rules, officials ect. thou they never completed in any meaningful may in athletics

Someone needs to tell him about gravity
gravity is still a theory 👍
Non, at the contrary, let him continue to believe that he can fly.
Naw, he needs to tell us about antigravity.
It’s gonna be like in the old cartoons, when the character is running off of a cliff but keeps running in the air until it realises there’s no more ground underneath it and falls down 😄
It'll get to him in time.
Amazing routine! He looks like he could hand out on the rings all day. An incredible display of this athlete's strength and control. Much respect!
he was up there for days and someone even gave him a haircut
Now SEVEN times European Champion! Well done Eleftherios :)
Should I do a new edit of petrounias?

I do ring dips, I cannot even comprehend the strength he has
His name is a Harry Potter spell. Mans been fooling all the muggles
This dude is awesome, that takes a lot of training and a lot of strength. Amazing.
That is true talent and amazing strength and dedication. Bravo.

He does have his own element. The "Petrounias" is from front lever to inverted cross. He's my favorite one
@@P-Sr would love to watch it.
Seems pretty tough that said.
He never did his physics homework in school, so he didn’t know that this was meant to be impossible.
the moment when you have to be athletic to realize how inhuman the stuff he does actually is
Arms on these guys are crazy
Beautiful work..
There is possibly a argument that gymnasts could be pound for pound the strongest athletes in the world. Especially after watching that.
Possibly? There’s isn’t a debate, no sport challenges your whole body like gymnastics.
@@hames100 So true. I'm still trying to master the false grip.
"possibly"?? No other sport even comes close my man

Calistenics more like it
That yamawaki to maltese is just magical. So much control.
If you refer to 0:54, it's actually Jonasson, because he's in a piked position. Yamawaki is tucked, I'm sure you know that 👐
Keep posting these there inspiring.
Legend has it that this guy sleeps in the iron cross position.
Impressive, Most impressive...
Guy just won his 11th gold medal yesterday ..Amazing athlete 👏
He is just different. I think gold is the only colour he likes.
Eleftherios Petrounias on the rings is proof of the existence of God. Thanks for the video. Cheers. :)
Οτι και να πει κανεις λιγο θα ειναι. Φοβερος! 💪
Gymnasts earn there medals 🙏
That was a sensational performance!
*INCREDIBLE!!!* 😳

For a long time i thought I was Oliver Tree's only fan. Really sets off the video! ❤️🔥
OH.. My GawD

Look at his hands on the iron cross he's not even gripping the rings its the little things.

Van gelder good too
Good grief. Open handed I still can't even get a Planck without a band assist.

Yeah, incredible power-to-weight ratio.
Great

He is him but isnt it Juri Van Gelder?😄😁
Dope.
loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooord!!!
Nah bro this title belongs to van gelder
Werid editing. Holds slowed down, multiple routines mashed into one video. I think it takes away from what he is actually doing.
Thank you for your feedback.
Is there any women ring discipline?? 🤔
Not in official gymnastic tournements.
😮💨
Yuri looks better on the rings, has more power, pop & snap.
The only real lord of the rings is Jury Chechi!
Once upon a time! Now Petrounias rules the rings!
