What are those things that you put on your hands when you do the bars in gymnastics?

The "things" that gymnasts put on their hands when they perform on bars are called grips. Grips are friction reducers that help prevent hands from getting "rips" which are caused by the continuous pressure of the hands on the bar. Some coaches discourage grip use in the early years of training as they can be quite cumbersome for the athletes to deal with, but the more hours spent on the bar, the more rips a gymnast is likely to acquire.

Everything in gymnastics requires your both of your hands, to an extent. If you were to lose one of there hands, however, you would still be able to preform gymnastics. On floor you can do one-handed backhand springs and front handsprings. On highbar you can do one-handed swings and giants. You could not efficiently preform rings, parallel bars, or pommel horse however. Vaulting would be a challenge too, but you could overcome it! Good luck!!
