2021 EU STICKS compilation

NOTE that backward salto landings typically result in chest position in a range between horizontal and 45%.

That’s mechanical, medically and physically a good way to absorb those huge impact forces.

Congratulations.

Many are disappointed that Beckie Downie was not selected. She would have been an ideal plus one competitor, but GBR did not earn a 5th spot for Tokyo.

Some are questioning the reasons WHY Beckie was not included.

2021 USA Senior Team

All 18 women named to the National Team will compete at the U.S. Olympic Trials in St. Louis.

Cool.

I’ve never understood why nations are so quick to cut the selection pool. It’s a HUGE accomplishment to make Olympic trials. The highlight of many Elite careers.

It’s a net WIN to have more gymnasts.
