Urejanje Lojze Kolman from Slovania, born 1967 most would say.
He won Bronze on Horizontal Bar at the 1990 European championships with an original move: a Kovacs with a 1/1 twist.
But I was there in the early morning session at the 1985 World Championships when unknown Tony Pineda from Mexico threw this MONSTER routine. It was one of the highlights of the entire meet.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
Tony was coached by Hideo Mizoguchi in Oregon. Truly one of the most unique and explosive gymnasts ever.
The code tries to differentiate the Pineda (Gaylord 2 with half out) and the Kolman (Double back with 1/1 twist).
I don’t buy that distinction. Fabian Hambüchen added what he calls a “Pineda” to his horizontal bar routine last weekend, setting a new world-record for difficulty.
This should be the same skill, regardless of where the twist happens.
Tony Pineda was first to compete the Kolman. It should be named after him alone.
Tony is still coaching, by the way.
UPDATE: Check the comments for a discussion on who did the Gaylord first … Mitch Gaylord or Tony Pineda.
