The Borkan – Geinger low to high

January 31st, 2010 | bars, Gymnastics, NCAA

After seeing the The Grable – Jaeger 1/1 low to high, ch recalled a similar skill.

This is Lindsay Borkan, who competed for Penn State.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

Still difficult to do without deduction, but much “cleaner” than the Grable.

I’ve seen this skill before done by other gymnasts. I assume it was not named the Borkan.

From American Academy of Gymnastics, as a club gymnast, Lindsay was coached by the great Leonard Issacs in Wheeling, Ill.

I’ve seen this done numerous times with level 9 and 10 gymnasts. That was about the cleanest I’ve seen it done though.

Yeah, that was pretty.

Too bad high school gymnastics is nothing like that anymore..

I think in the places lucky enough to have high school gymnastics, it is just like club gymnastics. Meaning the kids competing are of various levels of quality, gymnastically speaking.

That video was taken at my high school, and I have competed in the state meet there myself. In Illinois high school gymnastics is very competitive, and the top varsity teams are made up of Level 9 & 10 gymnasts, and even an occasional former elite.
