Lorette Charpy probably wouldn’t use this in a routine as she might laterally run out of Bar.

As always with Romania, we’re worried about Bars. Ana’s still mostly using Free Hip rather than Sole Circle. Typical of that nation’s coaches. Pirouette and Blind on the same arm still, keeping her in the same spot on the rail for dismount.

Gabby at Buckeye
Ah, back in the day.
When FloGymnastics posted this to YouTube, free for all, I was keen to see if it included Gabby’s Bars double twisting double layout.
It’s not there.
That was a FUN skill she worked if and when she got through the Bars workout with time remaining.
