Dariya Zgoba – Bar transfer

Dariya Zgoba (Ukraine) won gold on Bars at the 2007 European Championships and was a finalist at the Beijing Olympics.

I’d call her unique transfer a Stoop Stalder on low, “hecht” to high. Love the Pak to Stalder, too.

Click PLAY or watch it (10sec) on YouTube.

ComeBackCathy calls it a “Zgoba”. I’ll buy that.

Dariya Zgoba UB Glasgow 2006.

There’s a discussion thread on that skill on IG forum.

WHOAH!

You post this routine and don’t mention the pak to stalder? I thought that was awesome.

Ha.

That actually is more impressive than the transfer.

Yep, it’s named after her, she hasn’t competed it since 2006, though.

Both are very cool. That transfer is completely blind though. Her eyes never see the bar. She has to do that with perfect timing, swing and feel. Really cool.

[...] I best remember the Olympic Bar finalist from her transfer low to high we called the “Zgoba”. [...]
