We’ve got a couple of gymnastic disciplines for you today. First, Dim will show us some work on the pommel horse!

So, he mounts the horse, and shows us a few tricks!

Next, the rings! Gino will show us how it’s done. First, jump up and catch hold of the rings.

Now, he’s going to lift himself up, until he’s right upside down! And then, a perfect dismount.

Ernest wants a go, but he says he doesn’t need the rings, he can just do a snozzle dangle! See him pull himself up, and then an elegant dismount. Well done!
