Danusia Francis – Beam

Decided to compete the skill named for Spanish-Canadian Silvia Colussi Pelaez. And tries to connect it to a full twist dismount.

Note that FIG does not allow any extra landing mats for sideways dismounts. The short mat makes it risky for Nush to try to connect. That discourages originality.

Danusia had an excellent AA competition and stands a good chance to qualify as an individual.

Sanne says the light over Beam is somewhat bothersome. There are shadows. But her team can handle it.

Simone’s new Beam dismount undervalued by FIG

YES, everyone agrees it’s absurd to up-value double double by only 0.1. This is the hardest skill in WAG.

Tumbl Trak Air Floor

My favourite air floor is the Tumbl Trak Air Floor. It comes in 3m, 4.5m, and 6m lengths. I recommend you get more 3m sections rather than the longer versions as it gives you more options for configuration.

Use the Air Floor as the last step before the competition floor.

There are a lot of Gymnastics references in The Simpsons. Many of the writers had kids who did Gym.
