2nd MAG air flare – Kirill Prokopiev

September 1st, 2010 | dance, Gymnastics

Kirill Prokopiev is a young Russian gymnast. Not a strong tumbler (2009), but you can watch his air flare on YouTube. (embedding disabled)

Kirill is only the second Artistic gymnast to compete the air flare, after Morgan Hamm.

Watch the masters on an air flare compilation video.

Thanks bboysistou (YouTube) for the tip that another gymnast finally figured it out.

The air flare was competed at NAIGC Nationals this year. There’s at least three now.

Do you recall which gymnast, Justin?

Love the air flare. Does it have a value in the COP?

Just checked the current Code as posted on FIG. It’s not there. (p. 47)

It would probably be just given an A-value as I think they had that listed under breakdancing skills like windmills.

On a different note, a very poorly composed routine, he doesn´t arrive at all corners automatic deduction.
But good skill

I seem to recall Morgen getting a D-part for it in the USA.

Paul Hamm can do it also (see comeback video), so that is at least 4. Although Morgan seems pretty retired.

I did see Paul do it on his website. But he never competed it, so far as I know.

His last meet was where he broke his hand on P Bars.
