Pak deductions
I love a great Pak.
Especially those landing on the low Bar close to handstand.
I recall watching Brittany Rogers and Maddie Copiak training together. Both tall. Both launching Pak as high as they could.
Amazing.

Pakhniuk on P Bars?
This is tough.
After some discussion online, I learned it is already in the MAG Code:
- Bwd. uprise and double salto fwd. t. to up arm hang. (E-part)
Therefore it wouldn’t be named for Pakhniuk.

Ariella Käslin’s story
Ariella Käslin is a 2008 Olympian voted Swiss Sportswoman of the Year in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
I recall being disappointed when Ariella retired 2011. She seemed still top of her game.
She later wrote a memoir detailing her exhaustion, related depression, and concerns with former Swiss National Coach Eric Demay who was let go April 2007.
