gymnast Ananth Rao paralyzed
On October 12, 2010 Ananth Rao was competing in a State competition in India on Floor. He under rotated a 1 3/4 forward salto roll out. And will now spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
‘Paralysed’ gymnast needs a long helping hand
In the draft version of the next Men’s Code of Points roll out skills on Floor are banned. They’ve been banned in the Women’s Code for decades after 1978 World Champion Elena Mukhina was paralyzed.
Congratulations FIG MTC for that decision. Our sport will have far fewer concussions and catastrophic injuries in future.

Bill Sands on specificity of training
Dr. Sands feels many coaches are filling training plans with exercises that do not contribute towards the final goal.
“You need to do those exercises that are important for transfer to your sport. And not much else.“
Unnecessary training is a waste of time and may even contribute to overuse injury.
The number of training hours should cycle over the season and even over the week. Recovery should be better planned.
