Maltese is a D skill, Inverted is a C skill. Victorian Cross is a super E skill (harder than E and obviously harder than D and C). Victorian Cross was actually thought to be humanly impossible at one point.

Watching the victorian cross and thinking about the strength it takes gives me the chills

1:17 sickest combination I have ever seen.

And Manuel Caruso carries on his legacy today

This video is inspiring... I admire Danny for being the only international gymnast to do a victorian in competition..

@Lancinator1 He rarely gets major deductions on his victorian, if any. He has the best victorian in the world in most experts opinions. Oh and he came 5th in 2008 Beijing olympic finals, so look that up before you comment.

To be able to move your body through space like that would be incredible

he proved that with his victorian cross many years later

this guy is amazing on the rings...

LoVE this montage!

OMG! So epic

Good video. Awesome music choice.

this is fucking awesome.

Danny Rodrigues is one of my favorites on rings and I've been a fan of the victorian since it was first put into the F.I.G Code of Points back in 1993 (when E valued skills were added). I have some exercises for a victorian along with some rings tutorials and fitness workouts on my channel if anyone would like to check them out (thanks).

the victorian cross has to be the single hardest move in all sports to date

"to date" things went a long way since 11 years ago... We got reverse planche, ares, one arm close to impossible and so on.

Cheers. I get it. Man that would take a beast to do thtat

rings are intense youd have to have some killer muscles

thank you. my life is complete lol. it's not exactly the same because he ends in an inverted cross and doesn't push out to handstand, but obviously the guy could push up if he felt like it. it's probably worth the same, that's why he just stays in the cross. i think i need to find a current copy of the USAG skills book because to find something else no one has done yet.

jesus that is real strength

@zuevaxcy23its based on points. point are given for each move. you get points depending on the difficulty of the move and form. A moves = 0.1 points B=0.2 and to E=0.6. so u wont win by doing only A (easy) moves. in danny's case he doesn't have the hardest routine, but his form is good. he does have a few B's in his routine (uprise fwd to L and L press handstand) while his opponents have harder moves in total. danny does however do the victorian(E), but the points dont add up to the others.

"Keyboard heroes everywhere..." tell that to that guy below who says he used to train with Danny. I am not the one claiming anything unbelievable.

@ArmyOfZenMonkeys Baladin 1 is hang to maltese, baladin 2 is hang to inverted cross.

ya type in Blandin next to the video there is a thing were there is a lot of videos and scroll down to that and u will see mens gymnastics named still rings elements really cool and the next one will be PB a guy does and gienger on PB it is amazing!

Fabulous video, however how do you know he is the only one that could hold it? What group is the victorian cross compared to the maltese or the inverted?

man gotta love the victorians eh? :)

what was the original song before it got taken down by youtube =/

@Sinjid142 how is gymnastics "scored"? Is it who can do the hardest moves/combos? Or who can do the routine with the best form? I mean could you win with just doing an easy, basic routine with the best form while everyone is trying more harder and intense routines with satisfactory but not perfect form? Is that what happened here with Danny? Hardest routine, but not the best form?

one time in gym, we were looking through the USAG book figuring out what we should put in our class 1 routines for the upcoming season. we came across two things that we deemed impossible after trying them a few times - the victorian, and one other thing doesn't have a name that i know of. you start with a hang under the rings, then pull through an iron cross, up through a maltese, and straight body press to handstand. it was a Super E. I'd like to see it in London. anyone know the name?

@MrKylarStern1

if you end up in inverted cross and not handstand, it is called balandin 2

That's quite interesting, you know I've been looking for an online edition of the points that each element gives but I can't find out one. Can anybody help me out with this?

Forgive me for my igrorance, but what is Victorian cross? I think it's the exercise when he is in a horizontal position with his back down. Am I right? I saw him on the Olympics, he was great!

Maybe, but don't forget diminishing returns.

I'm very happy because: - you did a good tribute - I (fizniperal) give to the world a rare piece of footage :-) - we help spreading gymnastics on youtube be free to send me a message (i can give you the full quality footage)

it's theoretically a position in which the body is held straight in a supine position over the hands with the arms straight (might help visualising a manna with straight legs instead of in a pike position)

The move depicted here 0:20 and done here 0:25.

Oh please. Seeing him once in person doesn't qualify as training with him.

@ArmyOfZenMonkeys Yes, he can do the best Victorian but his other stunts are not good enough.

that is ungodly

0:28 broke his hand ?

doing L-sits while watching him on TV doesn't count as training with him buddy.

Wow *.* But isnt it unhealthy to have the ellbow bent like this? All the gymnasts have an angle of more than 180 degrees.

Zoran (like Danny Rodrigues) can do on rings, but also: Morlantau, Courtney Tulloch, Andrei Kobelev, Manuel Caruso and Kolya Nikolay Konovalov can do them on rings. Mikhail Balakin and Zoran Pesterac are the only ones I've seen on the floor (fingertips).

He can't flare or do a planche. And it said he got first place overall; WTF?! Channel name is "StraitAlex" REGION III CHAMPIONSHIPS 2010 From: StraitAlex | Apr 16, 2010 | 238 views Alex Strait Received 1st on Floor, Vault, Parallel Bars, and All Around So yeah what do u think?

This guy can't even hold it why does he use it in competition! No one has ever done a Victorian; even Victorian himself! If you're doing it correctly your arms should be under your back and you should be arched, not hollow. Don't give this guy any credit.
