One commenter mentioned that Yurchenko is the only skill in the Men’s Code named after a woman. … Can that be true?

These last few days before the Olympics make you nervous. Artistic Gymnastics is dangerous. There will certainly be injuries, primarily landing injuries on competition mats.

Chen Yibing injures meniscus while training Vault in Ireland. He still hopes to compete. They need him.

Nabieva was injured the day before the final Russian Team Olympic selection.

Sounds like it’s also a knee.

23yr-old Lais Souza from Brazil is out after hurting her hand on Bars.

This is cool. A music video/anthem with lyrics dedicated to Team USA.

So NEW it’s not on Wikipedia yet.

Woodward Tahoe opened a few weeks ago. This company is expanding.

Woodward Copper opened 2008.

Woodward Beijing opened 2010.

Jon Slaughter, Marketing Director, is justifiable proud of progress made. They broke ground on the impressive 34,000 square foot facility only about 11 months prior to opening. It’s at Boreal Mountain Resort close to Lake Tahoe, California.

Click PLAY or watch … Nate Wessel explain the design on YouTube. Including the Trampoline Park with a “Supertramp”.

That Supertramp is not one of those built by Dave Ross / Rebound. It’s a new design. I got to bounce on it myself — BIG AIR … SLOW … and SOFT.

The highlight for many of the kids visiting is that pit jump. HUGE AIR on a bike.

Lauren Gearhart moved from Copper to get the Cheer program up-and-running at Tahoe. She explained that Artistic Gymnastics will not be offered at this camp due to space limitations. Action sports share tumbling, trampoline and pits with Cheer. It’s a natural fit.

Rod Floor, tumbling trampoline and full Cheer Floor are in place.

They’ll be no Artistic Gymnastics at this Woodward. A bit of a trend for the company, I’m thinking. Action Sports are the priority.

Woodward Tahoe looks like a winner to me. It will run winter and summer. It’s atop the Donner Pass on Highway 80, West of Truckee, California.

Training Action Sports gets a little bit safer. 🙂

Andrei Rodionenko was quoted as saying that China will have 3 Amanars in London.

That sounds highly unlikely to me. Was something lost in translation?

Huang Qiushung looked good in training. (VIDEO)
