uneven bars
Asymmetric parallel rails
Uneven bars, also called asymmetric bars, is a women's artistic gymnastics apparatus consisting of two horizontal bars set at different heights.
Gymnasts perform swinging, releasing, and catching movements while transitioning between the bars, demonstrating strength, timing, and aerial awareness.
The event is a staple of Olympic and competitive gymnastics, judged on difficulty, execution, and composition.
She scored highest on uneven bars with a flawless dismount.
