WTF IS NCAA SCORING – VAULT (2020 UPDATE)

I’d say Tsukahara with 1/2 twist is the easiest on the list.

‘Set Before Flip and Flip Before Twist’

For some reason I’d never before noticed how LOW Simone comes on to the horse for Yurchenko.

Very low.

Asia D’Amato training Cheng

This looks great.

Italy’s team podium finish at Worlds was no fluke. They are a serious contender for Tokyo 2020.

Rings
1. Liu Yang, China, 15.133
2. Eleftherios Petrounias, Greece, 14.866
3. Artur Avetisyan, Armenia, 14.833

Despite his silver medal, things are looking foreboding for Eleftherios Petrounias of Greece on still rings. The reigning Olympic champion shockingly missed out on qualifying for Tokyo at the world championships …

Petrounias’s sole route to the Games now is through the World Cup series, and with Liu looking so strong and likely to keep the spot, this looks less and less likely.

warm-up Vault landing with FLYSPRING

To safely warm-up before doing the VERY dangerous landing in competition, many male gymnasts use a flyspring.

Great idea. I’ve seen some women do the same warming-up Kasamatsu vaults, including Ellie Black.
