Oleg Borisovich NOVIKOV,
artist, leader of the group and creator of the act, is “Champion on
Horizontal Bar of the Russian Federation” and former member of the
Russian Olympic Gymnastic Team (1988), - presents with his four partners an
original horizontal bar act, which includes spectacular combinations of
gymnastic exercises and sophisticated cascades and difficult stunts such as
triple-and double somersaults with a 720-degree pirouette from a 6 meter-high
horizontal bar.
This act is unique in this
genre, and as it is, is distinguished not only by a high position of the
horizontal bars, but also a possibility of being transformed to different
heights. This makes it possible for the performers to execute various gymnastic
and acrobatic elements.
This act has been displayed
for 13 years ago, and all members of the group are owners of the title:
“Master of Sports” and prize winners of several
national and international competitions in Sport Gymnastic.
