She did Gaylord 2, Jim, not Kovacs, so far as I’ve ever heard. Some on the internet mixed up the two MAG skill names, I believe.

Why is this only possible on a channel bar? Seems like I could do it in the pit with the spotting block. Does anyone see that first drill as an advantage for flyaways, too?

I’ve seen a similar progression for Kovacs in swinging up to a stand on bar before.

I liked the progression but I’m a handful of years off from needing it right now (heck, we need our own HB first!)

Wow. I have been waiting for Kovacs from a female for years.

This is a great technique, I have been doing this for years. Only possible with a channel pit. Also good for teaching kovaks, we will have a level 10 girl competing a kovak this year for Oregon Gymnastics Academy.
