evolution of Kovács

Uncle Tim reviews the history of backward double somersault over the Bar. Key gymnasts:


1979 – Péter Kovács

1992 – Alojz Kolman

Actually, Tony Pineda competed Kolman (or something near identical) in the first session of World Championships 1985. Only a few hundred spectators were there that early.

It’s frequently forgotten.

Tony trained it as a Gaylord 2 with a half out.
