gymnasts need back-up handgrips

At University of Saskatchewan — back in the day — we’d buy an extra set of both Rings & H Bar grips for the Seniors. Have them break those in. Then put them away for safe keeping.

Quite often they were needed during competitive season.

Devy had a back-up set ready.
