Okamura Mana's 🇯🇵 charm on Floor Exercise never fails to charm a crowd. (Stuck tumbling passes don't hurt either.) Enjoy her effort from today's Baku World Cup final! 🥇 #Gymnasticspic.twitter.com/hR9n7DBYKZ

Sit back and admire the Parallel Bars brilliance from Angel Barajas 🇨🇴, who is just getting better and better. So much complexity in this Baku World Cup routine — and a well-deserved 🥇! pic.twitter.com/7GAPc4AoYO
Hang on to your hats, because this Horizontal Bar routine from Tang Chia Hung at the Baku World Cup is extraordinary! Come for the unusual releases, stay for his celebration at the end! 🥳 #Gymnasticspic.twitter.com/AQe0PxWej8
With beginners, ideally have them start with Heally on whatever arm they feel comfortable. THEN have them do the same on the opposite arm.
Next step after the video — for me — is to do Healy on P Bar boxes. With padding, of course. For the first attempts on boxes, slide a mat underneath the legs. This helps build the confidence to go for it.
This article analyzes pivotal routines in men’s artistic gymnastics across the six apparatuses. How historic performances reshaped standards of difficulty and execution, and perfected the interaction between skill and artistry, thus enhancing the understanding of the sport’s evolution.

Men’s Gymnastics competitions are fantastically competitive and exciting
Much more exciting than women’s, in comparison.
BUT very few of the general public understand much about the scores. Since we dropped the “perfect 10”, it’s not worth bothering to look at the number for most fans.

A good final. The medalists would be very competitive in any Sr. competition.
Dukhno STUCK Yurchenko 3/1 twist. A Vault motor genius.
🥇 Arsenii Dukhno ◻️ 14.333 🥈 Sol Scott 🇬🇧 14.066 🥉 Evan McPhillips 🇬🇧 13.950
P Bars
Fun Final with some great Gymnastics. Some unique skills.
Seems there is no tie-break.
🥇 Camilo Vera 🇨🇴 13.866 🥇 Ojima Nao 🇯🇵 13.866 🥉 Yang Lanbin 🇨🇳 13.600 🥉 Leykin Danila USA 13.600
Last routine at an excellent Jr World Championships was Camilo VERA from Colombia. He shocked the very savvy audience connecting Cassina to Kolman. Then sticking dismount. A deserving World Champion.
🥇 Camilo Vera 🇨🇴 14.533 🥈 Danila Leykin 🇺🇸 14.233 🥉 Karl Eldrew Yulo 🇵🇭 14.000
Home fans even happier with Yulo the 2nd collecting his 2nd individual apparatus medal.
Top 3 all stuck dismount collecting 0.1 bonus.
Camilo VERA won P Bars and H Bar. I’m still thinking about putting down a wager on Columbia qualifying a full team to the L.A. Olympics. 😀
