Laura-Ann Chong spent the summer in Montreal training for a new Cirque du Soleil show — Amaluna.
She was asked to also train a couple of weeks for “bateau“, my favourite act from O, in Vegas.
Somewhere in all that she got time to post this “new” skill.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
I’m sure I’ve seen it done before. But cannot recall who or where.

She makes that look easy… But, of course, it’s an element that goes nowhere – can’t connect it to anything decent to keep the flow.
Similar to the release move Mo Huilan did in 1995-96. Gaylord?
I call this, “fantasy gymnastics”
It’s for circus. No judges. Just an audience.
“But, of course, it’s an element that goes nowhere – can’t connect it to anything decent to keep the flow.”
As performed, I can see a sub-elite athlete doing it depending on what their country’s sub-elite code allows. I think the US JO code allows the tucked gienger so I bet they would allow this too.
For elite, make the forward swing on the lb and the salto in straddle instead of tuck, catch the hb in a cross grip and turn out into a kip.
A club athlete at Oskosh Gymnastics in Wisconson does this skill as well as a NCAA gymnast at Ball State
Grable from Oshkosh did the skill with a 1/1. (She must have competed it without the full, as well.)
