[Lorentz5]

[TurtLePimpin]

[BlacksAreBeautiful]

ridiculous!!!!!

[kanshiketsu89]

Holly f**k, he's crazy... But maaaaaaaaaaaaaan... I feel sorry for his elbows... :D

[johnseeley]

It's slow motion. The straps don't waver that slow at normal speed....especially for a small gymnast. Plus, if it was normal speed, when powering down from the invert to cross, his center of gravity would be more in between the rings...passing through a maltese position..but it's not.

[SchmidSteven]

@johnseeley Look @0:26, as soon as he enters the cross. A person (although small) can be seen walking at normal speed. No slowmo here.

"i didn't know gymnstics was at that level in 36"... LOL. people are monkeys by nature and their bodies are made for this stuff.. in 1936... in 1036.... in 5000 AD....etc. there always were acrobats. they were better ones in the past times than now i believe

[redblackJACKtricking]

[FanaJel]

The Nazi must have been totally astouned to learn what the sludge from the eastern Czech Rep. can even do. Pitty we didnt defend ourselves a bit later time, with men like this.. :(

[Merida79]

Alois Hudec (1908-1997), Czechoslovakia, its from Berlin 1936

[parkerguitars222]

it looks like its in slow motion.

[moefro777]

it is in slow motion

[dyingtolive93]

False. If you look in the background you can see people walking in normal motion.

[TumblingDiaries]

[sean11davis]

[mtgzach]

OMFG lol.

[extremegymnast]

holy crap

[shain78]

nice!

[ApolytonGP]

nice long hold. I really hate the 1.5 second holds that people don't get deducted on. Of course if he had done a pullout, I would have babies with him.

[3sets]

The new code is out 1.New hold deductions:

o2 sec = 0.0

o< 2 sec = 0.3

oNo stop = 0.5 and non recognition

[LongShlong125]

ain't that from the Nazi propaganda film?

not that it really matters , nice long hold. nowdays it's better we get to see victorian crosses

[tomdamho]

omg upside down iron cross, down into iron cross then into front lever i didn't realize ppl back then had that strength.

[genericname1234]

They didn't, he's a cyborg.

[niksujoksu]

i'm capable of doing cross and front lever, you just need to train hard

[3sets]

O ya but there swing was Level 5.
