A random girl's random gymnastics ramblings.

i wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, and i guess i don't have to. mary lou retton is an orphan or something.

Is anyone else just exploding with anticipation for Worlds?  Bless good ol' Couchie for providing some training tibits and pictures.  That's ALMOST enough to satisfy my craving.  But not quite.  So I made this instead.

  1. God, I hate those beam leaps. After hearing all this crap from the artistry lovers how it was wrong to make the girls stick, now we see this crappy leaps after double saltos. Cut that shit out. If you can do a salto after the double salto fine (and it needs to be rebounded...really connected...not the beam arm waving pause and then flip). Grr...

  4. The A leaps after a pass drive me nuts too. I have only seen a few that actually use the rebound. Mitchell's looks good, and I like Semy's stag after her barani. The rest are garbage.

  5. I'm in love with this one, Spanny. Flawless.

  6. Even if they were properly rebounded, it still looks like crap to do a double back and then NOT STICK, but leap. It's not something to encourage code wise. Instead it should be discouraged.
