Uneven Bars
The uneven bars consist of:Low bar: 1.7 meters highHigh bar: 2.5 meters highThe bars are about 42 cm apart, but gymnasts can adjust this distance. They are made of fiberglass with a wooden coating, which gives both flexibility and grip.
Timing & Swing Are Everything
Unlike the other apparatuses, uneven bars rely heavily on momentum and swing rather than strength alone.Gymnasts must maintain perfect rhythm to transition smoothly between skills. Some of the hardest moves include:The Def – a release move with a full twist in the air before catching the bar.The Bhardwaj – a transition skill where the gymnast does a full-twisting backflip from high bar to low bar.The Tkachev (Jaeger & Gienger) – high-flying releases and re-grabs.
The Dismount is Crucial
Routines end with a dismount, often involving double backflips, twists, and layouts.A perfect landing is key to avoiding deductions.
