gymnastics

I think a lot of people expect stuff like classical musical and operas, but there are routines that use different types of music than that. And it always feels fun to see that :sanapray:

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 :sanapray:

It’s about a difficult vault in gymnastics. Especially curious to hear if you’re not familiar with what this is about or how this side of gymnastics works :susPepe: What move would you think Natalia Yurchenko performed relative to who the article is about?

TLDR: Jordan Chiles was the last to go. She received 13.666, which put her in 5th behind Ana Barbosu of Romania who got a 13.700 (3rd) and Sabrina Voinea, also with a 13.7 (she got the same score but she’s in 4th because she loses out on the tiebreaker). Then Jordans coaches filed an inquiry...

After Carlos Yulo won his second gold medal on vault at the Olympics (he was the first male athlete from the Philippines to win gold) you could see one of the athletes British athletes competing against him excitedly gesturing 2, for the two gold medals Carlos Yulo had won. It was just so...

Here it is, in condensed form :sakUwu:

With gymnastics, especially women's gymnastics in the past, there was always a feeling of you get one shot because by the time you're 20 or older you're not going to be able to come back. Of course many gymnasts have broken this stereotype, especially of late, but I'd like to talk about one of...

Thanks to the commentators I do. Without them I wouldn't have been able tell because in my world this is skinny. So im really glad they pointed that out so I can know :welp: She also insulted skinnier girls, she really just seems to want to insult everyone she can.

@Tickita I know you like gymnastics, I’m curious if there’s any pass you find cooler than this in woman’s gymnastics :ankha:

I’d say the first, 5th, and 7th>>>2nd, 4th, and 6th>>>8th>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>3rd. It’s not noticeable from here but the 3rd has red, white, and blue crystals, not just normal crystals.

One thing some people like to say about gymnastics now vs in like the 1970s is about the different body types that top competitors have. I’ve seen plenty of people describing those at the top in the 1970s as “youthful” or saying they had “elegant” or “childlike” or “graceful” bodies. And it’s...

So ever since I followed gymnastics the association has been that the US Team is great at vault and sucks at bars. I got curious how many gold vault medals they won and found out that the answer to that is only one :pepeslippy: So I got curious about how many total medals they’ve won on each...

Her warmup was so good, but the competition one didn’t go her way for sure. Hopefully she can still try to keep going with her comeback

I’ve seen many a pbars routine, but this is pretty unique imo. I don’t recall seeing some of those skills ever. No wonder he won, it seems very difficult and very well executed

It’s pretty cool :sanapray: The version without twisting exists and a version with a half twist, but no one’s performed a full twisting version like this @Tickita come here and appreciate :uwu:

Which do you guys prefer? I used to think cheer was an easier version of acrobatic gymnastics but I do see now that there’s differences. I’ll show and explain some below Cheer: It’s much more dynamic, and more about flips and fast paced movements and tosses. Tumbling for cheer is harder than...

Really depressing, the article and source are below. Gymnast Kara Eaker announced Friday on Instagram her retirement from the University of Utah women’s gymnastics team and withdrawal as a student, citing verbal and emotional abuse from a coach and lack of support from the administration. “For...

And with an actually different mount :sj_weary: She did great

For those who don’t know, to have a skill named after you in gymnastics you have to be the first person to submit it for review at an international competition and then must land it successfully at that competition. She has 2 named after her on floor, one on beam, and now two on vault. I’ll post...

She looks great :sanapray: Though that one floor landing gave me a mini heart attack
