Oliveira – Arabian pike 1/2 out
It’s always problematic to call a full twisting double back a NEW skill, if the timing of the twist changes.
That said, I expect this will go into the Code named for Lorrane Oliveira.

more options for gymnastics apparel
UPDATE – Canada already allows tight fitting shorts in competition for Trampoline sports.
Geman gymnasts good good press for wearing full-body uniforms at Europeans 2021.
For some that was a statement against sexualization of female athletes.
The better athletes feel about themselves in competition, the greater the chances for a safe and successful routine.
Canadian company DNA Performance Wear feels this was a step forward. But calls for FIG — in addition — to allow “partial leg coverings” and “shorts”.
Good idea.
Many gymnasts train in leotard and bike shorts. And many would feel comfortable doing the same in competition.
