Yao Jinnan training Mo

I love Gaylord 1 in Men’s Gymnastics. It’s dangerous, though. Miss long, you might over-rotate to a tragic landing.

Adding the half twist for Pegan is far more difficult — but safer.

Gaylord 1 on Bars (Mo salto) does not have much future in WAG, I fear. Will we ever see one with much amplitude?

What can you do out of it?

… Jaeger?

UPDATE from melanie:

It would be a shame if we never saw the Mo again in WAG.

I think, if it were possible to do it with enough amplitude facing away from the low bar, a gymnast might go straight into a Yezhova (which is another skill we don’t see enough of).

UPDATE from ber:

At least for this quad, it won’t have to be connected. They removed the empty swing deduction after the Mo salto, and the counter-kim elements.

That was posted by Wats Good Gabby.

WOGymnastike linked to it. And has the Mo Salto shown in competition. (VIDEO)
