How did Valeri feel at the end of his first World Championships.
Very happy. Jade’s FX routine in finals was the best he’s seen her do.

AllCore360 machine
12-year-old Whitney Bjerken is a Gymnastics YouTube celebrity.
In this episode she tries the AllCore360 machine.

Interesting. Of course she’s training only isometric strength in only one body position. Not what we need for sport. We need train all the sheets of muscle for strength / power.
On the other hand, perhaps some future evolution of this kind of machine could have the athlete go through a greater range of motion. Duplicating specific skills.
Over the 11 minute video they up the resistance of the machine. A gymnast like Whitney finds it easy. That’s because gymnastics body weight training / conditioning is far superior to any machine. 🙂
Thanks George.

But the nation has really fallen in love with Jorge.

Montreal 2017 Coaching Symposium
In conjunction with World Championships 2017 an excellent acrobatic sports symposium was hosted October 5-8th.
I wish coach education was a part of Worlds every year.
Merci beaucoup Guy Lavoie, principle organizer.
Three streams to choose from: Sport Science & Health, Technical workshops and Gymnastics for All.
Over coming weeks, I’ll be posting notes from the sessions I attended.
Isabela Onyshko after Rio
Famously the hardest working gymnast on the Canadian team, Isabella now wants to enjoy the sport more.
There’s an error in the news clip. Shallon Olsen, of course, qualified to the Vault final in Rio. Bela in the Beam final.
