Ellie Black’s tumbling

The super cool 2 ½ step out to 3/1 twist is back.

It’s one of 11 new elements submitted for evaluation during the 44th Artistic Gymnastics World Championships.

The list of provisional new elements include five on Floor Exercise, three on Balance Beam, two on Uneven Bars and one on Vault.

Question?

Those two elements are in the Code. Ellie competed the line at the Olympics.

What’s to be evaluated?

YouTube won’t let me slow down the double double layout.

It’s certainly impressive in regular speed.

Bring that to FINALS. 🙂

This is what a STAR looks like.

Following podium training #WChAntwerp.

I’m campaigning for McKayla to win the Longines Prize for Elegance.

Vasiliki Millousi is my second choice. … Unfortunately, I’ve been told that a gymnast must be in the AA Final to be considered.

McKayla Maroney – Bars

Not bad.

@sporteverywh:

McKayla Maroney has a 24.2 programme: 6.3 on VT, 5.9 on UB, 5.9 on BB and 6.1 on FX.

She had a fall on Beam Aerial. But aside from that, looked better than ever.

McKayla could make the U.S. 2014 Worlds Team with these routines.

Shang Chunsong – Beam

Excellent.

I think her form will improve as she gets older. She still has the “bumpy” knees of a little girl.

Interesting that I’ve seen nobody question her age.

She looks younger than He Kexin in 2008.

We’re not worthy. 🙂

Aliya Podium training today

Can the 2010 World Champion up her difficulty, hit 4/4 and again win the title at #WChAntwerp?

I wouldn’t be surprised.

She’s been very consistent in big meets despite adversity.

In advance, watch a Russian TV news fluff piece in English on vk.com.

Update:

Aliya’s new Floor routine in Podium training impresses. But her energy level and tumbling are not strong. Twisting no cleaner.

In terms of readiness for this meet, she’s not in the same league as Simone and Kyla.

Nabieva is out of Worlds. 😦 She hit her head training Floor. Or is she? … Tatiana has been quoted saying she’s out of Podium training, but not necessarily out of the competition. Medical assessment underway.
