Cassina 2 – double twisting Kovacs

April 26th, 2008 | Gymnastics, horizontal bar, Olympics

Igor Cassina from Italy was 2004 Olympic Horizontal Bar champion in the final that was delayed 15min by audience disapproval of Alexei Nemov’s score.

He’s known for the Cassina, full twisting layout Kovacs.

Click PLAY or watch his routine in the Olympic Final on YouTube.

Now check out the Cassina 2. Outrageous.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube. (lousy quality)

Obviously he actually only caught one. And the video clip was looped.

Here’s an even worse video clip of the skill.

    Very cool. It think there will be some terminology issues since this skill is done with twisting in a tucked position and the former Casina was done in a layed out one.

    The second video is mine, sorry for the quality there are some problems with youtube’s codecs

    Nice! I knew he was working on it; awesome that he’s finally catching it.

    I assume this will be a G?
