BEAM – guide to gymnastics for the non-gymnast

Another in a series by Rawles attempting, with difficulty, to explain the new FIG rules. They are very confusing.

Though Rawles jokingly refers to her blog as “an open book of hate”, it’s clear she loves beam. The post includes video, analysis and opinion on some of the top routines in the world.

All beam coaches should check the comments, as well. It’s a very controversial apparatus, at the moment.
