On her recent GymCastic interview, Chellsie said she’d someday like to work Tak 1/2 on the Men’s Bar. And perhaps Kovacs with coach Jon Horton.

Also, Tumbl Trak Pit Pillows are SAVING her on Vault as the pit is quite short.

W&M Men’s Gymnastics reinstated

The men’s gymnastics team has been reinstated at W&M at least through 2021-22 — the university will reset its process to determine long-term sustainability for the athletic department.

A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone that sent emails, wrote letters, pledged, called, etc.

We are THRILLED that both of our teams have been reinstated, but we still need YOU. The support from our community has never been more important, and will be crucial to the long term success for both of our programs.

‘Friendship and Solidarity’ meet

November 8, 2020.

Instead of representing their countries, Uchimura and others compete on one of two teams – team “Friendship” or team “Solidarity” – in a showcase of international camaraderie.

No All-Around or individual accolades will be awarded; rather, the top three scores on each piece of apparatus per team will count toward the final team score. …

One goal is to prove that staging a high-profile event in Tokyo is possible in the current context of the COVID-19 pandemic. …

Pak deductions

I love a great Pak.

Especially those landing on the low Bar close to handstand.

I recall watching Brittany Rogers and Maddie Copiak training together. Both tall. Both launching Pak as high as they could.

Amazing.

Pakhniuk on P Bars?

This is tough.

After some discussion online, I learned it is already in the MAG Code:

  1. Bwd. uprise and double salto fwd. t. to up arm hang. (E-part)

Therefore it wouldn’t be named for Pakhniuk.
