Gienger

The Gienger is a gymnastics move involving a back handspring followed by a salto (flip) with a twisting element, typically performed on the uneven bars or during floor routines. Named after German gymnast Eberhard Gienger, it requires precise coordination to execute a backward somersault combined with a half or full twist while airborne. This complex skill demonstrates strength, timing, and body control, making it a popular and challenging element in gymnastics routines to earn higher scores.
