YES we know there have been Olympians who run with arms straight. Sprinters are pained to watch them. 😀

There are some gymnasts who can do this skill much higher than the rest.

Not the most common technique, Haleigh uses what my mentor Boris called “Flyspring” technique. First contact on the table with hips piked. She OPENS her hips while in contact to increase reaction force.
This technique works best for very fast, very powerful gymnasts. They tend to take off closer to the back of the Board and contact the front of the Table. GOAL = get the hands on the table as quickly as possible.
Chow’s Gymnastics and a few other Clubs are piloting this software already.
