I’d say Algeria is the nation with the favourite for GOLD on Bars at the Paris Olympics.

Oklahoma record 198.675

OU finishes 198.675, which is an Oklahoma record and the 4th-highest score in NCAA history.

Putin inspiring gymnasts to join the military

With this kind of Putin Youth propaganda, it will be some long time before I agree with allowing Russian athletes to rejoin international competition.

first double twist in the Olympics

1932 Olympic tumbler Roland Wolfe

Reminds me of some Cheer tumblers today.

Rowland “Flip” Wolfe will be recalled as the first and the only Olympic gold medalist in tumbling. He accomplished this feat at the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles. …

Had the International Gymnastics Federation recognized elements by naming them for one performer or another, a double twisting stretched back somersault might today be recalled as a “Wolfe”. He was the first to perform this element in the Olympic Games.

… Wolfe could also perform a double back. He related that he did not perform a double back in the Olympics since his coach was not a reliable spotter. He describes a pile of corrugated cardboard arranged loosely in one corner of the gym along with rags and other soft material. He would then attempt double backs into the corner!

… He had a famous teammate, Charlie Pond, who later coached at the University of Illinois.
