Stanford gymnast – ‘Pechanec’ on Bars

Nicole Pechancova competed for the Czech team at the World Championships in Rotterdam. In ‘merica we know her as Nicole Pechanec from Stanford.

Old timers like myself will have seen that skill done as early as the early ’80s. … I can’t remember any names, however. Leave a comment if you recall.
