more Liukins: Buscaglia and Burbar

Danell Leyva, the young American World Championships Horizontal Bar finalist, recently added Liukin (Layout Tkachev 1/1 twist) into his long, difficult routine.

I hadn’t realized that Stanford’s Alexander Buscaglia caught Liukin Day 1 of Winter Cup. (Leyva missed it Day 1.)

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

Wasef Burbar (age 16-18) is competing it too. You can see video of Wasef doing it in training on YouTube.

Thanks Jeremiah for sending us the links.

==== melanie ponders whether we’ll ever see a female gymnast do this trick. I think we will, but not for many years yet. We need layout Tkachev first.
