It's a double-twisting double layout over the bar, the only men’s element worth 0.9 in difficulty all by itself. Japan's MIYACHI Hidetaka has rather gone overboard with this whole Kovacs business, performing the hardest move ever in gymnastics at the World Championships in Montreal, Canada in 2017.

#GYMNASTICS BAR MOVES CODE#

The D score is the total marks calculated by judges from the value given to each move performed by the gymnast via a Code of Points, which is renewed every Olympic cycle. This starts at 10 and marks are removed by judges for loss of form such as toes not being pointed or a fall from the apparatus. Both marks are shown to viewers, so for fans of the old-school perfect 10 scoring system, check out the E score. Scores on all apparatus are made up of an execution score (the E score) and the difficulty score (the D score). You know it’s coming because you see the gymnast winding up beforehand. These days the gymnasts have taken it to extremes, not just the move itself, but by combining it with additional Kovacs to get more points from the judges and also to see how long viewers can hold their breaths. Below, the video shows a 'basic' Kovacs, the second somersault that Egypt's Mohamed Afify does over the bar.

The only way to describe it is somersaulting stupidly high backwards over the bar, which is already 2.8 metres off the ground. This ridiculous move was first performed in competition by Hungary’s Peter Kovacs in 1979 but only became more mainstream recently. You’re looking at his beautiful form – toes pointed, legs straight and locked together, high and difficult somersaults, and boom, a perfect landing and the exact moment he knows he's won Olympic gold.

So sit down, relax, and watch Japan’s UCHIMURA Kohei – that’s King Kohei to you – perform on high bar at Rio 2016 in the individual all-around event. Both will be featured in the ‘What to expect in the high bar final’ section below but one of those is also featured here as the showcase for a check-this-out routine. There are two gymnasts in particular to watch during qualifying that fans hope will make the final, for the romance of the sporting stories alone. It is the last event of the artistic gymnastics competition and boy could this particular event be the finale to end them all. Only the men do the high bar – or horizontal bar if you like – one of six apparatus for men.

The last of the apparatus to be profiled in Tokyo 2020’s Bluffer’s Guide to Artistic Gymnastics series before the final two disciplines – the individual all-around and the team events – take you up to the actual Olympic artistic gymnastics competition itself. No matter how many times you watch it you will never not hold your breath until a gymnast makes it through.
