Michal Stratievsky, Yarden Ron and Tamar Stoller took the gold for Israel with a score of 28.450 points, beating out trios from Russian and Portugal. It was such an unforgettable performance.
The World Acrobatics Championships took place in Geneva, with the Israeli team stunning their audience and judges.
When you think of acrobatics, images of crazy flips, stunts and extreme moments enter the mind but for this competition, it turns into a sort of dance, expect the moves are vastly different.
Yes, these three flip and jump and twirl, but in the sense of how people usually associate acrobatics.
These are well put together moves, choreographed with the proper timing for a presentation.
Like this viewer said in the comments,
“Wow, just sensational acrobatics! A sheer plethora of strength, beauty, execution all perfectly timed. Imagine the thousands of hours of rigorous and demanding training it takes to pull this off…flawlessly. An encore may be desired but I have no idea how they could possibly improve or do anything more to gain a gold medal.”
The 2020 Acrobatic Gymnastics World Championships was was originally scheduled to take place in Geneva, Switzerland from 29 May to 31 May 2020.
The 27th edition of the competition was postponed due to the pandemic.
Michal Stratievsky, Yarden Ron and Tamar Stoller could have possibly used the extra year to hone and polish their presentation.
Every single move executed by these three acrobats have been thought of, timed well, and practiced for days and days on end.
The result is what you see in the video.
It is a balance of flexibility, grace, and strength.
Just look at the way they stand on each other or how they lift each other up and about. This is two and a half minutes of excellent execution, where one mistake could ruin it all.
There’s just no way a human being could do such things.
Set to “Goons and Greasepaint” by Midnight Syndicate, it’s a chilling type of music that will completely mess with your senses as you watch these three at work.
And when you get to the stereotypical organ part, these acrobats execute a stunning pose stacking one on top of each other.
Another viewer was so impressed, he commented,
“My original comment ; ‘that was brilliant’ ; I can’t expand on . I’ve watched – I don’t know how many times this last 48ish hours or so ; and can’t think of anything more complimentary to add . Your coreography (how is that spelt stupid me) , timing , movement / distancing , fluidity is just beautiful . Perhaps many similar examples exist ? ; however , this is the first time I’ve seen something like this sooo immaculately performed.”
Even someone from a different country, who speaks a different language, understood what acrobatics and music can do for viewers.
Israel took home the gold. Michal Stratievsky, Yarden Ron and Tamar Stoller put in the work and the results show.
Let’s hope they repeat this year.
