Is her’s the best all-time?
Only Nabieva’s layout is more impressive, to me.
She does sit “crooked” in the air.

best Beam layouts
The E Panel:
… I am not talking about LOSOs. In fact I have always thought their being labelled as a “layout” to be erroneous, given that at no point in the flight of most LOSOs is the body actually in a layout position. More like an arch backed, whipped pike with a knee eating stepout phase. But that is another story.
No, what I am talking about is the layout to two feet on beam. …
BBS likes Natalia Laschenova best.
Of his favourite 5, I slightly prefer Deng Linlin.

gymnastics Congo, Senegal and Mozambique
Three more of the seven FIG 5-day Age Group Program Camps on the African continent were completed in the week leading up to Easter. These were held in Congo, Senegal and Mozambique. In the previous two weeks, similar camps were held in Namibia, Nigeria and South Africa. The final African camp begins in Zimbabwe on April 2.

FIG – Three African Age Group Program Camps finish on Easter Weekend
Guy Lavoie was in Congo. Director of FIG Education & Academy Programs, Hardy Fink, was in Mozambique. And I was in Senegal.
A highlight of my courses in Africa was the Tumbl Trak Air Floor I brought with me as luggage. Inflatable equipment is ideal for hot, humid climates. Air mats are easy to clean and easy to securely store.
Tumbl Trak generously donated that to Senegal, end of course.
Jeff Bridges stalks coaches
I was surprised and impressed how believable the actor was playing Burt Vickerman in the film Stick It. He observed and videotaped coaches, including John Geddert, to prepare for the role.
Watch an interview on YouTube.
… But I’ve never heard a coach use the phrase “… pop the clutch …”. I ASSuME he means that she’s going too hard. But it makes very little sense to me.

Sadly, that kind of freedom will not likely be long lived.
But Afghanistan must solve their own problems. Clearly occupiers Great Britain, the Soviet Union and the USA were all ineffective in making much improvement.
