The second video where he is wearing a uniform is during podium training, not during competition.

Aha, the thought had crossed my mind. Is there any video of him in the competition?

Definitely still a beast!!!

I always wondered, how come gymnasts always look at their feet during inverted hangs? Isn't it better form if they had a neutral head position?

Try it some time and you'll know why.

When I would do inverted hangs on the beach and see all the way down it was kind of trippy but I think I didn't have as steady as balance. Maybe it allows to focus better or be more steady.

I have tried it many times. I understand that it is much easier to be focused when lookup up, but I figure that it's like anything that is praticed often... the CNS will adapt. So I always do inverted hangs while looking forward. Are you implying that I should stop before I adapt to this position?

When you are looking up, you know where and when (if you have a swing) to kick up.

That guy will always be my gymnastics hero!
