Norwegian guys try ‘Webslinger’ on Rings

Back in the days of Originality Bonus, Canadian Tony Smith used a 1-legged Deltchev.

He called the hold position the Webslinger. A Spiderman reference.

Tony went on to be Men’s Head Coach at University of Calgary. And the Canadian National Team Head Coach.

Sticking the Parenting Landing: A Handbook for Parents of Gymnasts

by Betty Okino Benson (Author), Jacob Okino Benson (Editor), Valorie Kondos Field (Foreword)

I’ve not yet read the NEW book — but I’m certain it’s terrific.

  1. The Emotional Rollercoaster – The emotional highs and lows of gymnastics can be tough on both you and your child. One day they’re flying high, the next they’re down in the dumps. It’s a wild ride…that can be fun!
  2. The Time Commitment – Juggling gymnastics with school, other activities, and family time can be done but it takes a conscious effort so that hours in the gym don’t put a strain on family life.
  3. Safety Concerns & Injuries – Watching your child perform high-risk skills can be nerve-wracking. Ensuring they’re safe while encouraging their passion is a balancing act we can all perform.
  4. Communication with Coaches – Building a good relationship with coaches is crucial so that we can avoid as much misunderstanding as possible while working together as a team toward a common goal.
  5. Artistry and Performance – Helping your child shine artistically while meeting technical requirements is key. It’s all about finding that balance and there are ways to do it.
  6. Progressing Through Levels – Understanding the competitive gymnastics landscape, from scoring to expectations so that we can keep our child motivated and happy.
  7. Mental Health Considerations – The pressures of gymnastics, like anything else, can affect our child’s mental health. Proactively recognizing signs of burnout and stress is important for their well-being.

Jordan Chiles for Pro VitaB3 Serum-Burst

The Vaseline Pro VitaB3 Serum-Burst lotion is the company’s new top-of-the-line product to help combat the greasiness associated with typical body lotions by absorbing right into the skin without a greasy finish.

“We want to be able to put lotion on then go on a mat and feel perfectly fine,” Chiles told New Beauty. “We constantly flip and grab our legs, and our hands are on the beam, and we just don’t want to slip.”

Chiles has been a fan of Vaseline products for a while, and she credits the company’s products for keeping her skin hydrated and preventing it from cracking during hey gymnastics practices and routines.
