Yuri Van Gelder European Ring Champ

[JimmyDeLocke]

There are a handful of guys in the world who perform at this level, but Van Gelder is the toughest. Anybody who has anything negative to say has never worked the still rings . . .

[yamipablo]

men i saw a lot of gymnasts but this guy is amazing, i mean the legs domimion is incredible, if u look, he never miss an angle, the only fail is that he overexceed de impulse after the dislocation and he pass a lil on the domination, but not another mistake, simply amazing

[weedisallineed1]

on of the reasons i don´t watch body builder videos

[Powerman8885]

and Danny Rodrigues and Chen Yubing and Alexander Balandin=)

yeah, Yuri's the ultimate beast

[hblueboy97]

Bow

[LMatii]

that guy could do like 1 hour of flagman

[martijn41292]

he use more then once coke but, only one time just befor a competiton! he only said he used it so he didn't have to go to the world championship of 2010 because the presure was to big for him! you people have to know things first before you say something! he got fired from the army because of the coke. but now he is cean!

and BTW he is not gay he got/had a little asian girl friend! and also he is 1,65m in height

[MrWienno]

he jused coke once and he regret it he is a real champ!!!

[yuritim]

the worst female commentator! They all suck.

[MrMiky2911]

how tall is he???

[FIRST465]

He have the most perfect planche and iron cross ; D

[TheLeopardTail]

Anybody know why Yuri van Gelder was never in the Olympics?

[awhoergek]

@TheLeopardTail A lot of very bad luck in the past. And recently because he used cocaïn in his spare time.

[slammers91]

@TheLeopardTail

The old rules were only the number one off the kwalification goes to the olympics. Last kwalification he become second so no olympics. There are also wildcards but some guy of Jemen got the last one. We thought the last one was a "fight" between Yuri and Aljaz Pegan because he never did olympics too. So we were very surprised Jemen got it.

But now there are new rules.

[wubs23]

@TheLeopardTail same reason he was fired from the army. he used cocaine.

[helloremix]

@wubs23 Discharged, not fired. He used coke? I didn't know that.

[wubs23]

@helloremix yes, twice i believe. but he is so good on the rings, i dont get what the big deal is, let him do what he wants in his free time.

[davidwoo9194]

You can lift all the weights in the world and still you wouldnt be able to do this.

[FIRST465]

Lord Of The RINGS.. YEAH !!!

[Lagauder]

unglaublich dieser typ. der beste ringeturner überhaupt

[tonykingi]

his head doesn't like it's his. lol

[jabdinoor]

female commentator came in her pants talking about his biceps

[neversaydie511]

mrworkout79,gymnanst dont take steroids. the get that mass amount of muscle from hard work and eating right,granted it may sometimes look like they do take steroids they dont.thier muscles are just huge because of the amazing strenght it takes to do thoses moves.

[Aldind2x]

@mrworkout79 Actually steroids DO NOT help gymnasts at all. The added muscle mass from steroids is a disability. Most gymnasts are midgets that don't weight much. They are just ridiculously cut.

[razaviknows]

@Aldind2x i agree, the dynamic muscles built during gymnastics exercises are BUILT for gymnastics, and develop the way they do for the specific movements used in gymnastics. the stationary exercises in weightlifting put gymnasts at a disadvantage.

[alderaforall]

@razaviknows seeing someone do this is way more impressive than seeing some meathead pick up a dumbell 50 times.

[razaviknows]

@alderaforall well that doesnt have anything to do with what i said......3 months ago. and thats your opinion...isnt it?

[norbeex3]

@razaviknows that is not true you should read more about this topic gymnasts have amazing strength when it comes to handling external weights. you're right gymnasts use a lot of dynamic muscle but on the still rings you only use slow-twitch muscle fibers If you look at the routine there isn't a single dynamic movement except for the somersaults but those are hardly requiring strength at all, one transitioning into another slowly.

[theredhead562]

@norbeex3 your an idiot and have never done rings. The strength required to even to a simple planche, back lever, front lever, maltese, or tick tock. Not only that but every single giant is a dynamic movement..

[norbeex3]

@theredhead562 and you should read the definiton of dynamic movement:

"1. of or concerned with energy or forces that *produce motion*, as opposed to static"

fag...

[gcoote]

@mrworkout79 100 % Idiot

[DKMN81]

o m g aha lol his arms are almost bigger than his head dude and hes skilled as fuuuckk wow awesome lol

[animalfreak101010]

OMG his muscles!

[Powerman8885]

Jealous people say he's gay...But he's a FUCKING TANK

[ClanceyDelion]

@Powerman8885 Thats because of a medical reason of a personal nature :P

[Gabriel77Rhcp]

He is Sportacus !

[jonnycoyle]

awesome biceps bet he can fuck any bird he likes

[007guy19]

is he on steroids???

[MigueLedN22]

@007guy19 no he was on cocaine but not any more

[benmahesh]

@007guy19 no, all gymnasts are strong like that

[darkattilla]

@benmahesh he use coke again but that has nothing to do with hi strength it even gets less in stead of more tho

[samenzwering]

I really like the little "wow" at 1:05 :-)

[ShaolinIronLeg]

Man, that routine was solid and he has an awesome physique!

[truegamer4ever]

Dang! Dude got some arm strength!

[samanthasmith69]

jesus christmas don't ever get him mad. he'll poke you and you'll get a hernia.

[sumdumfoo1]

that female commentator has a sexy ass voice

[southoreast]

I agree with you.

[BumHendrixxx]

look at chen's inverted cross, thats the best

yuri is the best in europe, but not in the world and

maybe Danny Rodrigues will be Europes best next.

[southoreast]

Chen is strong on the rings, but Yuri is stronger. Yuri was born for the rings whic explains why he only does the rings. As far as inverted cross, Yuri's head literally goes under the rings. That's not only gnarly, but Chen can't go that low.

[southoreast]

And just because Danny does the victorian or inverted maltese, that doesn't make him the best. Do you know how many gymnast could learned that move? They choose not to because that's Danny's signature move to distinguish himself from the rest. It takes more than one move to be the best.

[hejjeghedderkasper]

He's a fucking beast main

[benbluesing]

omg what a biceps...

[joejonny11]

respekt

[iobolio09]

hey guys who think its better chen yibing or yuri van gelder ? i think its btter yuri ^^

[southoreast]

Wow, that's a hard one,lol. I always tried to stay away from that comparison cause those two are not only immaculate on the rings, but they're built like bulldogs.

[arnold670]

very nice shoulder. he is trulY the LORD OF THE RINGS!!!

[MrArbitrager]

far out he is SOOOO good, i couldn't see anything bad with that routine

[NasDa]

He is one of the best but Chen Yibing is a little big more steady than him.

[TheNoHoS]

O_o sick

[Genomatekk]

Chen Yibing seems so much better though, I mean... you don't see Chen Yibing wobble as much as Yuri does.

[lachebeckie]

joerie wan qelder of hoe die dat uitspreekt :H

[yuritim]

What a lame stupid chick commenting along.

The weakness comments on a ring routine I've heard.

[Kevinsf]

He is banned by the FIG for using cocaine.

[Exerciso]

really!?

[dDriCk29]

@Exerciso yuri holds his arms more straight

[trashboi]

Yuri is de TOP. Er zijn maar weinig mensen die de top bereiken. Goede mentaliteit, hard werken, discipline. Zonder dat lukt het niet. En je een beetje gelukkig voelen in de prive leven. daar heeft verder niemand iets mee te maken.

RESPECT Yuri. Je bent een geweldige vent. 5 sterren natuurlijk en het beste van Bert in Amsterdam

[Sylar000000]

Was he in the 087 Bejieng Olympics?

[bla7091]

He wasn't... the european champ didn't qualify, even though he scored a silver medal at the world championships the same year

[NasDa]

No, he wasn't there since Chen Yibing beat him in 07 worlds, therefore he lost the ticket to Beijing Olympics 08.

[MRCAdanceteam13]

omfg! that guy has the HUGEST muscles I have ever seen!!!!

[samwald18]

wow, that chick is a bad comentator, awesome routine not soo great dismount. he pikes it down and she like praises him for it
