Roman Ring: 

The gymnast takes a jump to the rings, grips at them with both the hands. Then he swings his whole body with jerks so as to speed up the swinging motion. While swinging he may turn upside down by forcing his feet through both the hands and later he balances his body on the hands. He can demonstrate many more skills as Back circle to back hang, Back lever, Back uprise, Muscle up, Swinging with straddle cut etc.
