Need help in finding the name of this movie.

Not too many facts to go on but I remember:
1. Beginning had a male gymnast working on the highbar w/ plenty of chalk
2. The body of the story takes place in a european town (narrow alleys and made of stone) and he uses his gymnast high bar abilities in the end.
3. I remember seeing it at my Aunt's house in the late 80's.

Gymkata (1985)

-from IMDB
Johnathan Cabot (Kurt Thomas) is a champion gymnast. In the tiny, yet savage, country of Parmistan, there is a perfect spot for a "star wars" site. For the US to get this site, they must compete in the brutal "Game". The government calls on Cabot, the son of a former operative, to win the game. Cabot must combine his gymnastics skills of the west with fighting secrets of the east and form GYMKATA!

Really, really bad movie!!! Saw it once for the Kurt Thomas eye-candy, but even that didn't make it watchable.

I agree that it was Gymkata (clue #3 was really the key here).
