TKO has been commenting on different BIG release skills.
When asked about Gaylord 2 on Women’s Bars, I was left scratching my head. Had it ever been done?
Click PLAY or watch Chelsea Otto’s bar routine at the 1999 American Classic on YouTube.
That’s what Men would call a Gaylord 2. The unusual dismount is full-twisting double back OVER the bar.
For comparison, watch mighty Mo Huilan at the 1994 Asian Games on bars doing what Men call a Gaylord 1 (double front over the bar to regrasp). It’s now called the Mo Salto on Bars in her honour.
