description Side Handstand (Beam) Overview
Side Handstand on the balance beam is a handstand variation in which the gymnast's body is oriented sideways in relation to the beam's long axis. The hands provide the main points of support on the narrow apparatus while the legs are lifted into an inverted position. The element requires controlled entry and exit, shoulder stability, body alignment, and precise balance because even a small lateral deviation can move the hands or feet away from the beam. It is practiced as a balance and acrobatic skill in gymnastics.
