Yvonne Tousek – thumbs around the Bar

Double Olympian and 2001 NCAA women’s Bar champion Yvonne Tousek has just retired as a performer with Cirque du Soleil.

Now Yvonne Tousek Renne, she’s joined Cirque du Soleil’s Casting Team as an Acrobatic Talent Scout.

Around 1999 Yvonne began swinging Bars with — as much as possible — her thumbs around the Bar. You have more control.
