Very clean.
I can’t see 1.1 in deduction.
A study from 2015 — “Elbow joint variability for different hand positions of the round off in gymnastics” — concluded that what I’ve heard called the classic T position is best and safest for the elbows when doing Round-offs.
I’d agree.
Of course you can quickly find examples of top gymnasts using far different hand positions, especially in MAG. But the classic T is what I teach beginners.

Via Shift Movement Science.
If you are the rest of the world, the trend of College gymnasts returning to Elite to try for Olympic qualification means the USA will be getting even stronger.
Careers will be extended.
Gymnasts should be more consistent, even with their Elite difficulty routines.
Of hundreds of Yurchenko 1/1s I’ve seen this season, Maile’s is best.
OPEN before landing. WAY before vertical. This is like the top trampolinists.
Asian Artistic Championships WAG and MAG will go June 10-18, 2023 in Singapore. It’s a qualifier to Worlds 2023 in Belgium (Sept 30-Oct 8th).
Full list of participating nations to be announced April 6th.
