Charles Lakes did the highest and most unique Tkachev I’ve ever seen. He was the first black American gymnast to compete in the Olympics and was also the top American finisher in 1988 Seoul, Korea. HIs Jaeger was also the highest and most unique I’ve ever seen.

Jordan’s Tkachev does look slightly higher than Anna Li from UCLA.

Who competed the highest Reverse Hecht you’ve ever seen.
