About This Event
The Horizontal Bar — a single 2.8-metre-high bar — is where men’s gymnastics reaches its most dramatic heights. Elite gymnasts string together multiple release-and-regrasp moves, launching themselves metres above the bar before catching it again at high speed. The event rewards athletes who can combine complex releases with a powerful, controlled swing and a stuck landing to finish.
Format
The 8 top qualifiers on horizontal bar (maximum 2 per country) contest the final. Each performs a routine scored on difficulty and execution, with bonuses possible for outstanding release combinations. The crowd-favourite event often produces the biggest atmosphere of the gymnastics competition.
Nations to Watch
Japan and China trade dominance on horizontal bar at the Asian Games. South Korea fields athletes capable of reaching the podium. The event rewards gymnasts who are fearless in their release elements and explosive in their swing generation.
