The Gienger is a gymnastics skill performed on the uneven bars for women and the high bar for men. The release move looks like a half-turn layout "flyaway" above the bar.
The skill starts in a front swing with a "regular" grip and swing, normally out of a "giant" swing, though, and then the gymnast performed the Gienger and catches the bar facing the opposite way in a "regular" grip.
Some of the gymnasts that perform this skill are Nastia Liukin, Terin Humphrey, and Courtney McCool.
