Why do so many female gymnasts not grip the shins on double tuck?

Enus Mariani

For me this is an inferior technique. If she cannot fix it, do double pike instead. Her hands are correctly positioned for that.

Top-ranked Jason Burnett of Toronto, who needed to finish either first or second to clinch Canada’s lone Olympic berth in men’s trampoline, faltered in the final and wound up 10th in an open competition for both youth and senior competitors.

A silver medal winner at the last Olympics in 2008, Burnett will have another chance to book his return ticket to the Games at a second qualification meet at the end of April in Gatineau, Que. …

“Winning was definitely a surprise,” said (Keegan) Soehn. “I came into the final just hoping to make my routine because I was having a bit of trouble in the warm ups but I felt great right from the start and I felt like I knew I was going to do well.” …

In women’s trampoline, Karen Cockburn of Toronto, topped the field and showed she’s on right on track with a more difficult optional routine she hopes will help carry her to a record fourth straight Olympic medal this summer.

Cockburn finished first with a score of 54.775 followed by fellow Torontonians Rosannagh MacLennan and Samantha Smith with 52.970 and 51.355 points respectively.

“I was really happy to do my higher difficulty routine for the first time in the final today,” said Cockburn, who won a bronze medal at the 2000 Olympics and silver at the 2004 and 2008 Games. …

Cockburn and MacLennan have already locked up Canada’s two Olympic spots in women’s trampoline and are fine tuning their routines at competitions at home and abroad in the lead up to the Games July 27 – August 12. …

Power tumbling coaches pity Artistic tumbling coaches as simpletons. For every drill we use, they use 15 or 20.

This isn’t what you and I are doing in the Artistic gym. …

Brett MacAulay linked to that on the T&T Coaches Canada Facebook page.

For the record, I don’t like young gymnasts overturning their hands. The “classic T” hand position is still what I teach.

For the record, most Artistic coaches pity Cheer tumbling coaches as … simpletons.

Canadian Power Tumbler Emily Smith on Facebook:

I signed a Cirque contract this week I will be performing in the show “Chemins Invisibles” from mid-may through September in Quebec. Don’t worry I’ll still be nailing Nationals and coming back to get ready for World Games 2013! PUMPED:

I recall Canadian Olympian Grant Golding coming back after 3 months training with Cirque du Soleil. He looked better, if anything, for the time away from his sport.
