Back hip circle

The back hip circle is an element in men's and women's artistic gymnastics.

The back hip circle is a basic skill and is usually one of the first learned by beginning gymnasts.

[1][2] On bars, the back hip circle is usually performed in combination with a cast.

In this move, the gymnast still circles backwards around the bar, but does not return to a front support.

On beam, the Yurchenko loop and the Teza both end in back hip circles.
