All the less-than-360°-somersaulting basics on trampoline are critical. For safety. As skill progressions for the future.

Cirque coach Mathew Sparks explains how this one drill helps athletes spot the landing on twisting skills. It prevents them from rushing the last twist, as well.

Needless to say, you need a super confident front drop before starting cruise.

After taking a 13-year-hiatus, the 33-year-old gymnast and single mom is back on the mat and making more noise than ever.

Lisa Mason has swagger, which is not something you expect to see from female gymnasts. “Gymnasts are supposed to be seen and not heard,” Mason said. They’re supposed to be small and adorable and never boastful—there are no end zone dances for female gymnasts. …

… Mason has no trouble speaking her mind. “I have an opinion, and you’re going to hear it if you like to or not,” she said with a laugh. …

Gymnast Lisa Mason Refuses to Be ‘Seen and Not Heard’

Seems to me the men’s coaches internationally are getting less and less demonstrative.

The idea is to lower anxiety for the guys. The approach to competition is businesslike.

The extreme notable exception is Yin Alvarez (@CoachYinsanity).

Happily he wasn’t injured jumping up and down after Danell’s top ranking H Bar routine in prelims.

Some can recall a better routine than Uchimura girl competed in the Team final. I can’t.

Packed house. A thrilling competition.

You should be able to watch this replay anywhere in the world … aside from the States. Also Canada, I’m hearing.

North Americans will need to use VPN software to watch the FIG feed. Seems NBC asked that it be geo-blocked in the U.S. of A.

Most people first heard of Brinn Bevan in Hard Way To Success – Episode 8.

Now 18yrs-old, he’s all grown up. The most improved of all the GBR seniors, in my opinion.

Brinn looked great in podium training. Then suffered a hard fall on H Bar in the prelimary competition. Not his best day.

I’ve got a lot of faith in this guy, however. He’s going to have a long, successful career. A superstar.
