At our annual summer Gymnastics Camp we’ve added a mixed Gymnastics / Parkour set-up outdoors.
Many of the girls did not know what the word Parkour meant.
It’s getting increasingly popular with girls. And it’s good psychological cross training for WAG.

USA sent 13 gymnasts to compete in synchronized trampoline, tumbling, double mini-trampoline and acrobatic gymnastics.
Sounds like there’s some problems with the T & T venue. 😦

The closer the springboard is to the Vaulting Table the faster the heels must drive…

Scherbo did exactly this. I recall him, at age-17, putting the Spring board UP on to the legs of the old vault horse. Far closer than any other international competitor.
It’s counter-intuitive, but fact is that weak, slow beginners need move the Spring board back. Or lower the horse.

Warren Long taught me more than all the many professors I had. His cheerful demeanor in the face of difficulties, his intense curiosity about everything, his great physical skills, his warmth and friendship set a standard that I’ve tried to meet in the years following college. This picture is from the compulsory round of the 1975 NCAAs. — with Warren Long at Indiana State University.
Warren competed for Cal. And was later named to the Canadian 1980 and 1984 Olympic Teams. He was a Vault finalist in Los Angeles.
Today Warren is still in the gym coaching. His son is a gymnast, too.
That was shared with a private Facebook group called NCAA MEN’S GYMNASTICS ALUMNI.
