still rings
Continues to reverberate
Still rings are a men's gymnastics apparatus consisting of two wooden or synthetic rings suspended by straps from a frame approximately 2.8 meters above the floor.
The gymnast grips the rings and performs a routine of swings, holds, and strength positions while keeping the rings as motionless as possible—hence "still." The iron cross, where the gymnast holds his body upright with arms extended horizontally, is among the most recognizable still rings elements.
