Gymnastics coach spotting injury
Dr. Dave Tilley:
… Many coaches were once athletes and may have had pre-existing shoulder issues themselves.
Certain spotting positions and habits might be a contributing factor for the risk for shoulder injuries …
There are some ways to combat the risks mentioned above through education and preventative rehabilitation (using rehabilitation techniques before an injury occurs) …
Thinking Point #1: Only Using One “good side” To Spot Skills
Thinking Point #2: Spotting skills with too much distance between you and the gymnast

It’s well worth clicking over to read the Judging summary report from Nellie KIM. The good ladies of the FIG did a better job than at any previous Worlds in my opinion. 🙂

Here are a few highlights.
Qualified Teams and medalists:
• Teams: USA, RUS, GBR, CHN, ITA, JPN, CAN and NED
• Medalists: HONG Un Jong PRK (VT) and SCHAEFER Pauline GER (BB)The remaining 4 teams’ positions and AA-around gymnasts will be qualified at 2016 Test event
which will be held in Rio de Janeiro April 2016… new record in participation numbers at World Championships. …
A suggestion for the future competition is to have a “moving” camera on Vault, in order to produce
better videos including the running and the best view of the vault itself. …For the first time in the training halls, warm up hall, and during podium training … gymnasts had the possibility to use an additional 10 cm soft mat on FX, and a 30 cm “crash mat” on VT. …
Instead of a rotation between two teams, it might be a good idea to rotate gymnasts (e.g if there are two teams AUS and JPN then the rotation should be AUS/JPN/AUS/JPN and so on). …
Installation of the Podium in the “Warm up” Hall helped the gymnasts a greatly in the preparation to the competitions. …
