R.I.P. Yurchenko Double Pike

WHO will be next to ever compete this very difficult and risky Vault?

I recall asking the master of Yurchenko — Kyle Shewfelt — why he didn’t pursue YDP.

It was doable, he said, but too risky as being slightly wrong on preflight could easily land you on your head.

Yulo’s former coach is proud

Even after parting ways with one of his top wards, Japanese coach Munehiro Kugimiya feels proud to see the culmination of his gymnastics partnership with Carlos Yulo …

Kugimiya, who was part of a gymnastics delegation in Paris, watched Yulo live from the venue sidelines, delighted to see his gold-winning performances …

Personal differences led to their breakup, with Yulo telling Rappler back in May: “I feel like I’ve outgrown our relationship.” 

Filipino Aldrin Castañeda has since taken over as Yulo’s coach. …

Kugimiya cited the many individuals and institutions that helped them, including Teikyo Senior High School, Oizumi Swallow Taiiku Club, Tsukahara Gymnastics Center, Tokushukai Gymnastics Club, Japanese Olympic Committee, Japan Gymnastics Association, Teikyo University, and the Japan Embassy.
