| The Gymwheel is in continuos
motion, rolling
on both hoops. The gymnast, positioned inside the wheel, appoints the direction of rolling by shifting his body into the rolling direction. Straight line differs according to central and decentral exercises. During central elements, the gymnast is mostly situated in the wheel center. As opposed to decentral elements where the gymnast is situated outside the wheel center wich leverages the wheel in a special way. This discipline is devided into a-, b-, c- and d-elements (highest difficulty elements), |
"decentral exercise" |
| which has to be done in a
prescribed number
of lanes (one lane is composed of 3 wheel rotations). In straight line with music the gymnast trys to interprete the music with his movements. Because of this the performance- and stance rules of the "regular" Straight-line varies: postures (arms, legs, ...) are widely released, wheel stagnancies and leverages in the middle of the lane are permitted. The number of lanes are not constricted. The gymnast has the chance to widely create his exercise in harmonie to the music free. In straigh line the competition area is 3m x 23m plus a securityzone. |

| During the spiral the gymnastic
wheel moves
circularly on one hoop. By accordingly shifting his weight, the gymnast has the ability to control the wheel on it´s circular path and executes different exercises, which are also categorizised into a-, b-, c- and d-elements(highest difficulty elements). |
"small spiral" |
| A distinction is drawn between
"big spiral"
where the inclination has to be more than 60°, and the "small spiral" with less than 30°. Both kinds of spiral have to be shown in the competion exercise. The competion area is 13m x 13m plus securityzone. |

| For doing the vault right,
the gymnast actuates
the wheel from outside. After a fast startup and a dynamic jump, the gymnast reaches the top of the gymnastic wheel, by an athletic, forcefull push he gets into a flight phase to land secure on the meadow. A difference is made between different kinds of jumps (somersault, flips, barrel rolls...). These jumps, depending on the difficulty, have a different final notes. While in the german national section just the male competitors have to do the vault, in the international section also female competitors have to do it. |
