The world is upside down! The gymnastics wheel and Cyr wheel are very popular in Aachen and are highly suitable for performances. The University Sports center offers courses at different levels for both of these special disciplines. Interested individuals can join in at any time. Training is offered for both aero wheel gymnastics and the Cyr wheel. The "minimalistic" Cyr wheel, is a modern development of the gym wheel. It's a simple coated metal wheel, in which one can artfully make different rotational movements.
