Yuri is truly a gifted elite gymnast whose specialty is rings. Normally his competition rings routines are about 40 sec. in duration. However, in this video, he's using a pulley system that connects to his waist-called a Dream Machine. This pulley suspension system literally supports half his weight. This allows him to perform all his static strength moves in sequence repeatedly for a few minutes. Wish I had one of these 50 years ago.

5 min of continuously doing the iron cross, maltese and so on - he can't be human

Well, he's tied up so that definitely reduces his weight, but still impressive

Peter Barbounakis its not 50% because he doesnt have a belt, the strings are tied to his pants.

Most of the people watching in the audience have no idea how hard these moves actually are. There is almost no reaction to his iron cross just because he looks calm. The straddle planche is 3 tiers of difficulty easier than the iron cross and he gets tons of applause for it. It's kinda sad how underestimated bodyweight fitness is taken for.

straddle planche is difficulty level (B,C) while iron cross is level B , so definitely straddle planche is harder.

Exactly. Nobody shows any reaction to someone doing a Maltese, Planche or Front Lever, but people go crazy when they see the same person doing a handstand or a human flag. That is truly saddening :(

Why does he need the harness? He can do all those skills perfectly without it.

It is called a dream machine,It reduces your weight of half your bodyweight

so bad that gymnastics are orientated towards discipline and he was forced to leave olympic games cause he drank outside of the village... and by the way, he is not the only lord of the rings, pretty much anyone specialized in rings having obtained a world championship or olympic game is so called.

It's a safety harness. There's no padding on the floor as shown throughout the video. And yes he's strong enough to hold the moves this long.

He actually is extremely strong and good in the rings, but for this demonstration they used it because there is NO way to perform such a long routine in the rings with THESE SKILLS even an olympic level athlete.

I'm a big fan of Yuri as an athlete but this was straight-up unethical, to do this routine assisted when nearly no one in the audience would have been able to appreciate this. Some people are saying, oh he used the Dream Machine because no way could he have stretched out his routine for long enough for the presentation. Yeah no kidding. That's what assistance does; it makes it easier and therefore you're able to do things you wouldn't ordinarily be able to do. Maybe next time he can do his routine wearing an exoskeleton, or as a CGI hologram. If the audience was there just to gawk at an old dude's muscles in downlighting Yuri should have just done a bodybuilding routine. And if he needed more energy to carry him longer on the rings than usual he should just have snorted a bigger bump than usual beforehand.
