Mitch Gaylord & Kurt Thomas
Gymnastics legends. And … actors. 🙂
Looks like the Thomas roll skills on Men’s Floor will finally be eliminated next Code. A good move on the part of FIG MTC. We’ll have significantly fewer concussions in future.

new film – The Will to Fly
This looks awesome. 🙂
From a sunburnt country of desert and beaches, known for its swimmers, surfers and cricketers, comes the most unlikely sporting luminary; The Will To Fly is a feature documentary film about the inspirational story of Olympic champion Lydia Lassila, pursuing the ambitions of her tumultuous freestyle aerial skiing career.
Lydia ventures to uphold her Olympic crown as a mother, but more specifically, she seeks to write history by being the first woman to perform the most complex and dangerous manoeuvre of any acrobatic sport; a quadruple twisting, triple somersault on skis. Since missing her opportunity with gymnastics as a young girl, The Will To Fly showcases Lydia’s lifelong quest to fulfil her sporting aspirations.
