Chusovitina planning Produnova vault

The manoeuver, first shown by Russia’s Yelena Produnova in 1999, is the hardest vault recognised by the FIG Women’s Technical Committee …

Since Uzbekistan did not qualify a team to the 2015 Worlds, Chusovitina will be trying to qualify to Rio as an indvidual. The easiest way for her to do so would be to earn a medal in individual event finals in Glasgow, which would ensure her a nominative berth to next summer’s Games. …

And what about Chusovitina’s second vault?

“It’s a surprise,” she said, smiling.

new judges seating at Worlds

“The 2015 World Championships will feature the most unique judges’ seating ever used at a major competition,” said Butcher.

“Judges will be seated in a single line on the outside of the field of play, rather than next to the podium. This will create a very clean look in the competition area and offer some improved views of the competing gymnasts for the judges.”
