Updated Cyr Wheel Regulations – Version 4.4
NEW: Cyr World Battle Regulations
The 2026 Cyr World Battle Regulations are an initial version of a Code of Points based on experience gained at the IRV Cyr Wheel battles in 2011 (Arnsberg), 2015 (Lignano), 2022 (Sonderburg), 2024 (Almere), and 2026 (Göttingen).
Cyr Technical Programme
Minor adjustments and clarifications.
Cyr Artistic Programme
The artistic impression evaluation has been adjusted: some of the criteria and descriptions have been changed.
Cyr Difficulty Catalogue
Definitions for spindle position, horizontal split position, and vertical split position have been added to the foreword.
New elements can be submitted until 31 December 2026 through the submission feature in the online database.
Important note: There are elements that currently do not have a video; these are the greyed-out elements in the Difficulty Catalogue. These elements will be removed from the catalogue, unless videos are provided by 31 December 2026. So if you have the skills to do one of the greyed-out elements, please submit a video and rescue the element!
For questions or clarifications, please contact: mhanisch@wheelgymnastics.com (Melanie) or hnarten@wheelgymnastics.com (Hauke)
