     Here we go from the BBC website - it's mentioned in the first sentence. Definitely a UK thing therefore.

     The BBC and Guardian websites are reporting it as Uneven Bars in the pages I've looked at for Paris 2024.

     We'll be driving on the right next and saying Math!

     And now her Uneven Bars.

     When did they stop calling them the Asymmetric Bars? That said, I just chucked Asymmetric Bars into Google and it came back with today's results.

     So it must be a British term.

     @emarktaylor @nba @olympicschat — I’ve never heard it called the Asymmetric Bars here. 🤷♂️

     Elledeeay repeated this.

     My broadcaster is re-running that session. Biles just completed her vaults - and, boy, she made them look easy.
