Tsuk 1/1 is much more difficult than the Kasamatsu used by Ellie Black, Oksana and … almost everyone.
Mary Lou did half-on, full-off. (1.5 twists total)
Kasamatsu is quarter-on, three quarter-off (1.0 twists total)
Watch it on YouTube. (Right hand on the horse first, left twist on the salto.)
In addition, she trained Tsuk double full. Seriously.

Almost nobody does the more difficult version of Tsuk twisting. René Cournoyer from Canada is one.

Balance Beam Situation – AMANAR RANKINGS

While McKayla Maroney has done the best woman Shewfelt 😀competed, I’ve always used Cheng Fei as the model of an ideal Amanar.
Backward “gainer” drills are great for many reasons. Including the hip action on takeoff and shape for a hollow layout.
Chellsie Memmell, by coincidence, is an ideal model at the beginning of this video tutorial.

She should get some sort of bonus for straightening before landing.

Olivier Rochon completed the most difficult skill in Korea, but did not land it cleanly enough to medal. He finished 5th.
Thanks Matt.
I really like the Gymnastics Canada WAG Aspire program for talented young gymnasts.
The Aspire Camps are great too.
You can check out the 2017-2018 ASPIRE PROGRAM MANUAL online for free, if you like.
There is one error on page 15.
Of course the path of the Centre of Gravity starts tangent to the point of release. If you let go of the Bar when the C of G reaches horizontal you’d best be doing a Geinger.
If you release with hips above horizontal as required by that Aspire graphic there’s a very good chance you’ll land on the Bar.
The video linked from page 15 is correct, however.
The Centre of Mass must be below the Bar on release. Ideally with the hips below, the feet above as in this drawing.
The gymnast could apply a force to the Bar on release to either pitch-out or pull-in the Centre of Mass. Pulling-in can result in hitting the Bar.
