Hambüchen 7-Tkatchev series

Demo at the Konami Sportsclub, Japan.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

That’s the most Tkachev releases in series I’ve seen. Sharipov did 5 in a row, as I recall, at a demo in Australia.

Former Olympian Chainey Umphrey once did 10 in a row, his brother Eddie recalls. No video, though.

Nor is there video of when Chainey caught Tkachev front.

Eddie’s coach, who once coached Yang Wei, said only two things ever impressed him: Sherbo on floor & Chainey’s Tkatchevs.
