Can we identify patterns in the trajectories of body parts in wheel gymnastics? What do they tell about the movement? What is surprising? What is predictable?

No need to reinvent the wheeel
The title is meant ironically. For many, the German Wheel sport is entirely unknown, so in a way, it will be reinvented for them through this project. At the same time, it reflects a humble approach—not seeking to redefine the sport, but to showcase its beauty and complexity through a novel visual lens.

The data I use is mostly the knowledge I have acquired over the past decade and videos I have of people doing the sport. After explaining the basics and key facts about the sport, the project delves into questions of how patterns change depending on the difficulty of movements.
