Canada’s Olympic alternate Jackson Payne is moving 3 hours down the road to train at Calgary Gymnastics Centre.
Jackson has had great coaching from Liang Cheng at Capital City Gymnastics. But Liang is increasingly busy with his company Inspire Sports setting up recreational Gymnastics clubs in China.
From this list I’d say Rudi looks the most over-valued. (Smart to train.)
It’s very similar to Kasamatsu + 1/1 (what WAG calls Tsuk double twist) yet that vault is worth 0.2 less.
– Produnova (7.0 > 6.4)
– Rudi (6.2 > 5.8)
– Tsukahara full (5.2 > 4.8)
– Tsukahara 1.5 (5.5 > 5.2)
– Tsukahara double full (6.0 > 5.6)
– Tsukahara 2.5 (6.5 > 6.0)
– FTY (5.0 > 4.6)
– 1.5 Yurchenko (5.3 > 5.0)
– DTY (5.8 > 5.4)
– Amanar (6.3 > 5.8)
– Lopez (5.6 > 5.2)
– “Mustafina” (6.0 > 5.6)
– Cheng (6.4 > 6.0)… The vault devaluations are to account for the gymnasts losing 0.5 in requirements on the other three apparatuses. Requirements are worth 2.0 instead of 2.5.
Personally I’d prefer the Produnova be banned rather than count on FIG WTC to massage the rules to the point where dangerous ones are no longer attempted.

Women’s Wrestling is a BIG sport where I live. But I assume women feel themselves a minority in the sport, much as men do in Artistic Gymnastics.
Yep.
