In gymnastics, does the High Bar, or Horizontal Bar spin? Or is it a still bar that does not spin?

I would think it would have to spin, because they use chalk, which is used for grip, and if it was a static bar, not one that spins, that would tear your hands...I think, anyways...I was just watching the olympics and it came to mind.|||it doesn't spin..if it spun, the bars would be much easier...








they use grips to help minimize the chance of getting blisters, though|||It does not spin





If you watched closely you would notice the athletes wear a leather pad that covers their palm and has loops that go over two or three fingers. This protects their hand while they do the bar. ...and they can still get blisters!|||Um no the bar does not spin and yes you are very observant.... they do get very big "tears" which we call rips... but no it does not spin.
