Baku World Cup Finals 1

hand position on Round-off

A study from 2015 — “Elbow joint variability for different hand positions of the round off in gymnastics” — concluded that what I’ve heard called the classic T position is best and safest for the elbows when doing Round-offs.

I’d agree.

Of course you can quickly find examples of top gymnasts using far different hand positions, especially in MAG. But the classic T is what I teach beginners.

Maile O’Keefe’s amazing Vault

Of hundreds of Yurchenko 1/1s I’ve seen this season, Maile’s is best.

OPEN before landing. WAY before vertical. This is like the top trampolinists.

JORI JACKARD – Bars

Excellent Giant 1/1.
