A wingover is a chandelle, something the 172 is certified for.
It isn't a roll.

I would hesitate to call a wingover a chandelle.
I was taught to perform a chandelle from a level entry @ 105 knots, to 30-45
degrees bank, steeply climbing, descending airspeed, 180 degree turn,
finishing wings level in stall buffet.
IMHO a wingover is much closer to a very steep (over 90 degree) lazy 8.
I do think that the C-172 does perform both surprisingly nicely (when light,
with minimum fuel, and note restriction of MT baggage and rear seat)

Just MHO, Happy landings,
