Why so slow, Fujitsu?

Some robots have been able to do a salto for a few years now.
BUT this is the best I’ve seen, so far.

Flyaway to Flat Back
BEFORE we let kids flip, it’s essential that they understand well how to move the centre of gravity AWAY from the Bar at the point of release.
Some call it “pitching out” the centre of gravity.
Flyaway not Flyclose.

FB-Curves 3D GYM apps for coaches
By site editor Rick McCharles.
For the first time I have the full paid version of the FB-Curves 3D GYM apps.
Fantastic.
There’s nothing else out there even close to what this software offers.
I lot in via the webpage, rather than the app. This way I have a bigger image on my display.
Best use for me is showing gymnasts a skill from multiple angles.

Kaylia catches late after release
Good point, Heath.
should FIG require a proper “landing”?
Male FIG gymnasts must show control on landing. I’d say right now there is TOO MUCH emphasis on STICK in MAG FIG.
Obviously, FIG women have never been required to show control. Absolutely no control often results in a very small deduction for WAG.
I’m of mixed feelings on this question:
should FIG require a proper “landing”?
On the one hand, it would force coaches to include dismounts that are more fully mastered. A good thing. AND it would help separate the best of the best routines.
On the other hand, I fear more injuries on landing might result. Stepping or hopping out of a high impact landing is an excellent way to dissipate forces. Gymnasts trying to “SAVE” a competition landing could suffer more injuries.
