Can you recall anyone doing it earlier?
Yao Jinnan is competing it in 2012.
Moustafina has competed it.
The question is, who will it be named after in the Code of Points?
Danita is sure that it must be competed at World Championships or Olympic Games. We’ll see it in London, I’m sure.
Stalder Shaposh 1/2 = Yao Jinnan

According to the coach, if Yao did the new shapo1/2 tomorrow at the Zibo World Cup, then it will be named after her right away instead of waiting for Olympic/World championship. …

It’s an injustice that he can score higher than Uchimura. The Execution judges are simply not separating the best from the average.

Liu Xuan 1-arm giant
April 1st, 2012 — bars, ethics, Gymnastics, judging
… She is the only gymnast ever to perform a one-arm giant swing. This is very common in the men’s high bar however it is not considered appropriate for women, so in order to discourage its performance the skill is valued with only a “C” difficulty. Liu last competed the skill in 1996. …

Fangymnastics – Romanian gymnastics blog:

transparancy in gymnastics judging
March 26th, 2012 — ethics, Gymnastics, judging, NCAA
There’s not much. Even less in 2012 than ever before, despite the available technology.
Who’s judging the judges?
Case in point. Vault Judge #2 was singled out as biased by an Alabama fan who did some analysis of scores at SEC Chammpionships.
Judge 2’s total score for each team as compared to actual are shown below:
Florida + .175
LSU + .325
UGA + .175
Kentucky + .20
Arkansas + .10
Alabama minus .225
Auburn +.15
This lady threw out 3 2 perfect 10s to LSU, for … gosh sakes. She went out high on every team — except Alabama.
Read the entertaining thread on College Gymnastics Board – Never has ONE JUDGE so deserved to be called out
That judge should be reprimanded, in my opinion. But if you’d like to defend Mary’s scores, please leave a comment.
NOT Vault Judge #2 ... She's on Beam. 
The truth of NCAA Gymnastics scoring is that it works well at ranking 12 gymnasts in a dual meet, but does not have enough variation in range to rank more than two teams.
The solution obvious to me is to allow gradations of 0.05 in post-season competition.

Is anyone actually supervising judges in 2012?
Please forward this link to Nellie Kim, President of the Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Technical Committee.
She knows all about suspending judges who make ‘mistakes‘. She was once suspended herself.
injuries at Pacific Rim
March 18th, 2012 — ethics, Gymnastics, judging, safety
There have been a lot of crashes at the Pacific Rim Championships. In the Jr Women’s Bar Final only 3 girls of eight stayed on.
This WAG Code has too much incentive to add another tenth of difficulty, not enough incentive to try to save a tenth in execution deduction.
Inside Gymnastics (www.insidegymnastics.com) on Facebook:
We just caught up with Georgia Simpson… She said she’d like to thank all of the fans for their encouragement and support…. For her recovery after surgery, she’ll have two weeks on completely non-bearing activity and then doctors will evaluate from there. We are wishing her a speedy recovery…
