Patrick Kiens and Daymon Jones to WCC
With both Laurent Landi and Cécile Canqueteau-Landi gone, we were wondering who could replace them at the most successful private Gymnastics club in the world.
Good news.
Patrick Kiens and Daymon Jones, from Netherlands, have most recently been senior coaches with the Romanian team. Two of the most respected choreographers in the world.
I’ve attended clinics with Patrick and was much impressed with his big picture worldview on Gymnastics.
Personally, I’ve been crediting the improvements in Romania to Patrick and Daymon.
Injuries in MAG Vault Competition
FIG MTC meeting minutes held 3-6 June 2024:
The MTC is concerned about the severity of injuries on the Vault.
The TC would like to study and define what other disciplines use for mats and what have their experiences been. For example, what is used in Double Mini trampoline?
Dr Han. will begin the process by reviewing the number and severity of injuries that have occurred.
The TC believes it is possible that changing or re-configuring the mats used on Vault may help reduce injuries. However scientific studies will need to be done.
