Dr Léglise suspended
With regard to sanctions surrounding the Rhythmic Gymnastics Intercontinental Judges Course in December 2012 in Bucharest (ROU) …
Dr Léglise is suspended from his position as Vice President of Acrobatic Gymnastics, and as member of the FIG Presidential Commission until August 31, 2016. …
Léglise was many years responsible for FIG’s Medical and Anti-doping Commissions. I’ve always been disappointed the Medical group has not done a better job intervening to protect athletes.
Gabby and Nia
An awesome duo. Must be fun to watch them train together. 🙂

Flocasts CEO apology
Read the statement from Martin Floreani on Gymnastike. Sept 9th, 2014.
A personal apology to McKayla, her family and fans.
It’s far more credible than that of Joe Battaglia on Sept 3rd.
Larisa Iordache – Bars
A truly world class routine.

Even with that terrific routine, Romania will still be very weak on Bars at Worlds.
hilarious Taiso wall crawlers
Warren Long’s GoldenOldies comedy mini-tramp act from the early 1980s got some rave reviews. Here’s that video, if you missed it.
Here’s another funny Taiso video.
Click PLAY or watch 2010 Worlds competitor Jayd Lukenchuk & the boys goofing. This is worth watching. The goal that day was to (somehow) get into handstand on those wall hooks. 🙂

Male gymnasts often turn out to be lousy rock climbers. I’m guessing the girls could get into handstand. 🙂
