Putin inspiring gymnasts to join the military

With this kind of Putin Youth propaganda, it will be some long time before I agree with allowing Russian athletes to rejoin international competition.

1932 Olympic tumbler Roland Wolfe

Reminds me of some Cheer tumblers today.

Rowland “Flip” Wolfe will be recalled as the first and the only Olympic gold medalist in tumbling. He accomplished this feat at the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles. …

Had the International Gymnastics Federation recognized elements by naming them for one performer or another, a double twisting stretched back somersault might today be recalled as a “Wolfe”. He was the first to perform this element in the Olympic Games.

… Wolfe could also perform a double back. He related that he did not perform a double back in the Olympics since his coach was not a reliable spotter. He describes a pile of corrugated cardboard arranged loosely in one corner of the gym along with rags and other soft material. He would then attempt double backs into the corner!

… He had a famous teammate, Charlie Pond, who later coached at the University of Illinois.

Elite Canada 2024 scores

Way early season to be making any predictions on the Olympic team.

I’m thinking you can expect Ellie Black. Plus whatever apparatus contributing scores result in the highest potential team rank. Of course those same high apparatus contributing gymnasts would be trying to qualify for apparatus finals.
