Gienger Release

description Gienger Release Overview

The Gienger is a release-and-regrasp skill performed on the horizontal bar and adapted for the uneven bars. From a swing, the gymnast releases the bar, completes a backward somersault with a half twist, and catches the same bar again. It is named for German gymnast Eberhard Gienger, who performed the skill during the 1970s, and it requires precise timing, rotation, spatial awareness, and a secure regrasp.
