LA28 revealed today a first look at the plans for the gymnastics venue in Downtown Los Angeles!

The current home of the Lakers, Kings, and Sparks will be the venue for all three Olympic gymnastics disciplines – artistic, rhythmic, and trampoline – in 2028.

LOVE IT – Adjustable Trapeze Bar
- attach to any bar or set of rings using the adjustable straps
- obstacle courses, ninja runs, and strength training stations
- suede-lined pads that help protect your bar
- adjust length with steel carabiner between the layers of webbing
My most important use of this product would be for Flyaway.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
That Flyaway drill would come after Swinging Rings.
Personally I like to have beginners do hundreds of Flyaways without spot before moving to the competition Bar. Doing progressions without spot builds confidence.

Finally moving to the Bar, I still wouldn’t spot.

Somewhere in there I’d spend one day doing it on P Bars with both boys and girls.

Doing an actual Flyaway on an actual Bar I’d delay as long as possible.
IF your gymnast hits feet on the Bar, there could be a setback. Don’t let it happen.
Suni things …

Suni Lee before Olympic trials
Will she qualify for Paris?
Adding this back to her Bars routine would almost certainly put her into the apparatus final.

Isabella Brett not approved for Paris
As we feared, New Zealand was too shortsighted to approve Isabella who earned Olympic qualification at the continental championship.
One more Olympian from a small nation makes a BIG difference to the sport there. Inspiring children. Improving public fitness. A good investment.
I coached a year in New Zealand and am very disappointed.

Broadway – Water for Elephants
Water for Elephants is a musical based on the 2006 novel of the same name by Sara Gruen.
You might recall the 2011 film adaptation with Reese Witherspoon.

The Double Back with kentiemac – gymnastics podcast went backstage to interview some of the performers. Circus is a great career option for former gymnasts and acrobats.
