Vitali Laurentide spotting Bars

I suppose I’d better link to this as it’s gone viral. Gym Magic Gymnastics coach at Ontario Championships.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

Most coaches can recall similar rolling spots over the years. 🙂

Germany 1,2 on Bars in Rio

1 SEITZ Elisabeth GER 6.600 + 8.533 = 15.133
2 SCHEDER Sophie GER 6.400 + 8.633 = 15.033
3 ANDRADE Rebeca BRA 6.000 + 8.433 = 14.433
full results

Gabby JUPP (GBR) could have contended but missed. A very strong final.

Rebeca was awesome. And very relaxed. Coming back from injury, I won’t be surprised if she upgrades before the Games.

Taylor Lindsay-Noel audiocast

Canadian gymnast Taylor Lindsay-Noel was paralyzed in 2008 training a toe-on double front dismount from Bars. No pit. No spot.

She’s very eloquent. Very active online.

And now she’s launched a podcast called Tea Time with Tay.

In her first podcast Taylor details the day of her life-changing accident.

Here’s her website.
