What is another word for asymmetric bars?

Pronunciation: [ˌe͡ɪsɪmˈɛtɹɪk bˈɑːz] (IPA)

Asymmetric bars, also known as uneven bars or uneven parallel bars, are used in artistic gymnastics for women. These bars are designed asymmetrically to provide different heights for the gymnast to perform a variety of swinging, balancing, and release moves. Depending on the country, these bars may also be referred to as uneven rails or asymmetrical bars. Interestingly, the use of asymmetric bars was not introduced until the 1950s, where it was first used in the World Championships. Since then, the skill level required on these bars has increased significantly, with gymnasts performing complex routines that involve twists, turns and gravity-defying moves. Overall, while the name may vary, the importance of these bars in women's artistic gymnastics remains the same.
