Kacy Esther Catanzaro … is an American gymnast noted for being the first woman to qualify for the finals of the television sports challenge American Ninja Warrior. …

In the 2015 Houston Qualifying round Kacy failed to complete the course after falling on the cargo crossing and has to hope for a wildcard to Mount Midoriyama.

The good news?

Boyfriend Brent Steffensen got through.

And 5′ 1″ Jon Horton became the shortest man to ever scale the “Warped Wall”. He got through as well after failing to finish the course last year.

I thought Québec did a very good job hosting Nationals this year considering they only started a few months in advance. Gymnastics Canada was very late confirming a host.

Yes there were some problems – including results – but overall it was a very good Championships.

The competition moves to Edmonton, Alberta in 2016 after three years in the Ottawa area.

Rewriting Russian Gymnastics posted a translation of an interview by Vladimir Ivanov:

– You came back after a succession of injuries – because you are inspired by the thought of yet another Olympics?

– Not only. I’m also inspired by the thought of going to Baku.

…

– What was the most difficult moment during these three years?

– Each of the injuries. After the last one I thought: there is always something happening – it never ends – I’m finished with the sport. But then I realized that for me exercise is like a drug. There is nothing to do but go to the gym. I think I will not be able to give it up until I die.

…

– What result in Baku will be enough for your self-satisfaction?

– Gold Medal.

– So soon? In the all-around?

– Yes Yes. Probably, I will fight it out with Aliya.

– Elfimov said that you do not need to set new programmes, but just re-establish all the London ones.

– Yes. Although we do have something to add. While I will not say what it is, I hope to show new elements and connections in Baku.

UPDATE – This is a repost from June 2nd. Folks have been checking out some of these sites and sending feedback.

For example, mannaweb.net has more than 700 skills and drills with a graphic and links to videos. A good format.

But the future is online video.

Here are some of the best sites in English that include graphics and/or video.

Of the free resources, best are the American Gymnast Gymnastics on Demand videos on now free on the JoeLangley YouTube channel (1150+ coaching tutorials).

For young WAG gymnasts, even better are Jason Mortimer’s tutorials on the JAO YouTube channel.

GymDrills.NET is great. An open source of gymnastics coaching ideas and useful tools (FIG Code of Points ONLINE browser, Simple Graphic Editor) Free membership required.

The Gymneo WAG coaching video tutorials (many more in French than English) are superb. But an English language subscription costs 259€ / year. ($352) They do post free teasers on their Facebook page.

drillsandskills.com offers small videos of a large number of skills.

sportplan.net has a nifty interface. Much of the Gymnastics video content is free with free registration. The focus is more recreational than competitive.

TumblingDrills.com by Peter Wraae Marino has well done computer graphics.

If you are coaching tricking, check club540.com.

Gymnastike offers one-of-a-kind technique videos with different experts. Those are free. Their free Workout Wednesday series is great too. Many, including me, are critical of Gymnastike’s business practices. We try not to link back to Gymnastike as they don’t link to their sources.

Swing Big is excellent for WAG coaches. A site where Zari Goldmann shares her own drills and the best of the rest she finds online.

The Gymnastics Minute, now defunct, was the best source of coaching DVDs. But you can still watch their short promo videos on the thegymnasticminute YouTube channel.

Are there any other video tutorial sites you like?

If so, leave a comment.
