Hi Mike! Thank you for accepting my comments as the offical answer to your question. I am reposting the information below for your convenience. ================================================================= According to Wikipedia the high bar is also called the horizontal bar. ?The Horizontal Bar or High Bar is an Artistic_Gymnastics apparatus. It is only used by male gymnasts. It is made of metal or steel.? Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_bar_gymnastics According to the Concise Britannica, the Horizontal bar has been an Olympic event since the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. Horizontal bar ?Event in men's gymnastics competition in which a steel bar fixed about 8 ft (2.4 m) above the floor is used for swinging exercises. Competitors generally wear hand protectors and perform routines that last 15?30 seconds. Exercises include the giant swing and various vaults (such as the straddle vault). It has been an Olympic event since the first modern Olympic Games in 1896.? Concise Britannica http://concise.britannica.com/ebc/article?eu=392661 However, it appears that the high bar was first staged as an individual event in London in 1908 according to the following excerpts: ?Gymnastics was one of nine sports on the program of the first modern Olympics, at Athens in 1896. There was team and individual competition on the horizontal bars and the parallel bars, with individual competition only on the pommel horse, rings, vault, and rope climbing.? ?Individual apparatus competition wasn't staged from 1908 until 1924. At London in 1908, there were only two gymnastics events. The men's all-around was made up of slow and swinging movements on the high bar and parallel bars, stationary rings, pommel horse, rope climbing, and swinging ropes.? http://www.hickoksports.com/history/gymnastics07.shtml The History of Horizontal Bar http://www.gymmedia.com/ghent2001/appa/highbar/history_hb.htm Search criteria: High Bars Olympics OR Olympic event Horizontal OR High Bar 1896 OR 1900 OR 1904 OR 1908 +Olympics Best regards, Bobbie7 | |
