a new dive – 513XD

Is a dive with 1.5 somersaults and 5 twists possible?

Some sport scientists believe it is but that a different arm action would be required. The body would tilt to the point of being near horizontal at one point before untilting for entry into the water.

Yurchenko post-flight drill

These kinds of drills are fun. But I wouldn’t do too many of them as the body position is incorrect for the final goal. It takes much less rotation to punch than to do the actual Yurchenko.

They are good for orientation of twisting, however.

Using the arms to “tilt” and “untilt” the body.

At times they widen the arms to slow the twist in order to spot the last salto.
