Carmen Ionescu 3 ½ twist

Carmen Ionescu from Romania competed that skill first internationally, certainly by 2000.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube. (2001)

Do you give her the 3 ½ twist?

It’s named after Spanish gymnast Patricia Moreno.

Click PLAY or watch it during her Bronze medal routine at the 2004 Olympics.

What a quick tumbler!

She competed it as a Junior. And attempted a Quad twist

Those links are from an excellent WOGymnastike post – Meet The Originators: Triple Full And Half

It’s got many more links including quad twist attempts.

It sounds like the Chinese team is pushing this element.
