There is a new blog by the same editor that does Gymnastics In Europe – Moves to America!.
It’s posted by a gymnastics coach and sport psychologist in training, focused on “issues” in the sport. Great idea.
The first two issues are Artistry and Difficulty. Click through to check them out.
Ana Porgras is mentioned as one example that there is still some Artistry in Women’s Artistic Gymnastics.

I agree with the blogger about artistry. It’s not the code that keeps the routines from being artistic, it’s the coaches who don’t make artistry a priority.
Gymnasts have always been trained to have the difficulty before they actually need it. Those big tricks take so long to learn, it’s not good to wait until a year or two before you need the trick in competition to start learning it. That means coaches with gymnasts that they think have elite potential are always going to be teaching them advanced skills at a young age. Especially since they think if they wait, the gymnast will be “too old” to learn the tricks.
