CYR Wheel Regulations – Updated January 2022

This information is important for all Cyr Wheel gymnasts, coaches and judges attending the World Championships in Sonderburg, Denmark, in May 2022.

An updated set of regulations was published in January 2022 and will be used to judge the World Championships in Sonderburg.

There are no major changes to the regulations that were prepared for the 2020 World Championships, but we would like to clarify a few significant details.

Difficulty Catalogue

  • Change:
    – See Page 29 for the following NEW update:
    Previously, Big Spiral skills were not permitted in element combinations. It is now permitted to use D or E difficulty Big Spiral skills in element combinations. Combinations involving a big spiral skill together with a skill from a different category will have the following format: D or E difficulty BIG SPIRAL skill + C, D or E skill from a different category. This is based on the general rule that A/B skills cannot be combined with C/D/E skills in element combinations.
