The
Frenchman
Joseph Martinez, who was best in the wake of the World Championships
in 1903, is considered to be the first World Champion. In 1905 and 1907,
it could not be decide whether the rings should be swinging or not – therefore
the rings were simply left out.

Frenchmen, Czechs
and Italians led for a long time, until the small Slovene Leon Stukelj
came up and became Olympic
Champion and World Champion twice.
(At the 1936 Olympics in Berlin,
at the age of 38, he even achieved the silver medal, behind the
Czech Hudec, who achieved the Golden
one.)
The “power master” of the 1950'ies was the man with the little
beard:
Albert Asaryan, who started the longstanding
Soviet and Japanese dominance at the rings in 1954 and 1958.
Titov,
Voronin, Nakayama, Andrianov, Dityatin
and
Gushiken
are the names of the most remarkable giants. The
1990'ies will
always be remembered due to the fivefold World Champion and “Lord of the
rings”
Juri Chechi.
In his footsteps the Hungarian
Szilvester Csollany
was
following, being the favourite for Ghent, but was beten there by
Jordan Jovtchev. The successful revenge came 2002 at his Hungarian home,
and in Anaheim 2003 dominated
Tampakos
and Jovtchev
together...
but from Melbourne 2005 on dominates
Yuri van Gelder
as "King of the Rings" and won the very first medal for
the Netherlands. 2006 in Aarhus won
CHEN, Yibing
the third ring's medal for China and repeated this success in
2007.
YAN Mingyong is the reigning champion
2009, and also 2010 and 2011 the King of the rings came from China:
CHEN, Yibing won his fourth title ...
Arthur ZANETTI was the first
Brazilian winning Gold on rings and 2014
the next Chinese was the best in Nanning:
LIU, Yang.
After Tampakos (2003) a second Greek athlete won a rings titel -
the European champion Eleftherios PETROUNIAS
in Glasgow 2015 and two years later, 2017 in Montreal again!
... and now, in Doha 2018 hattrick on the still rings!
Stuttgart 2019 celebrated the very first rings world champion from Turkey: Ibrahim COLAK!
2021 in Kitakyushu after 2014 China regained its air sovereignity on still rings back again, by LAN, Xingyu, followed by stron Italians ...!
*2022 in Liverpool Adem ASIL won the second rings gold after Ibrahim Colak (2019).
Nine years after his success, China's LIU Yang took his second title in Antwerp 2023 and bronze also went to China; 3-time World and 6-time European champion Petrounias had to settle for silver!
