Impossible is nothing

Coach Sommer pointed this one out. In terms of pure strength few can compete with gymnasts.

French Olympian Danny Rodrigues, the first athlete in history to compete what many considered an impossible strength element on the still rings; the Victorian. In fact he is so incredibly strong, that he has two variations of the Victorian in his routine. Be prepared for a little drama in the middle of the clip.

A "victorian" is a cross with the body held on the horizontal and facing upwards.
