Give me a country…. (1 Viewer)

And I’ll try to find a gymnastics skill known for or named after a gymnast from that country. I won’t be able to find a skill for all countries but I’ll try

Thailand

@Freja_Larsdotter I couldn’t find one for a Thai gymnast, so I went with a gymnast of Hmong descent, Suni Lee. This is a skill that hasn’t been named after her yet, but may be in the future.

@MaiMelody this is one of the two more obvious ones. It’s a recent skill performed by Ellie Black. In this video it’s the skill on the high bar, not the low bar part too.

@nieve I didn’t see something for artistic gymnastics, but I found a woman who competed in gymwheel, and she became the first Latin American gymwheelist to compete at the world championships for gymwheel

@uran its the first skill in this routine, it’s named after her. It looks kind of easy but it actually isn’t.

 

[Ahsoka]

@eclipsoul the dismount is named after her And it seems valued questionably low but hey, what do I know

 

[Ahsoka]

@Tickita this one was really hard it’s not a signature move or skill named after her, but I found a thing where a Singaporean gymnast stated that her favorite gymnastics skill is the shaposh, and at 0:16 here she does a toe on shaposh. Good enough?

Sri Lanka

 

[Pirioca]

Germany

@snsd2beg cheating again but this is the first Sri Lankan rhythmic gymnast to become big. And for people who’ve never heard of rhythmic gymnastics is a unique sport so

@Pirioca im cheating and putting two First is a beam skill called the Schäfer, created by Pauline Schäfer. I’ve never seen it done by anyone else. Its such a cool skill, and the best part is that the easier version is pretty common but so ugly, while this one is super uncommon and it looks so cool It’s at 1:10 here


The second if from a gymnast who has competed for a variety of countries. She competed for the USSR, then the united team after the fall of the USSR, then Uzbekistan, then Germany, then Uzbekistan. She’s been competing for ages, she was at every Olympics from 1992-2021. What led her to compete for Germany was that her son got leukemia, and they accepted an offer for her to compete for Germany while her son received treatment. Eventually, she switched back to competing for Uzbekistan, and hasn’t ruled out trying for the 2028 Olympics. She’s currently has 5 skills named after her, this one is the most well known.
It’s the first pass here. Nowadays it’s fairly common for the top floor workers, but back then it wasn’t at all.

Interesting. Very good 'cheating'.
