    WAG Level 8 Beam Questions

    My gym usually only had girls doing press handstands when they can do it as easy as a forward roll. Some of them did like 10 press mounts. Everybody else did a jump to handstand or a run and jump up. One girl was super strong and flexible, and she did a press handstand, straddle planche, but...

    WAG Brooklyn Moors

    I remember her floor exercise`s tumbling pass of a double front with a ½ twist out (Lilia Podkopayeva`s eponymous skill):)

    WAG Ukraine

    The C value starts to verge on something that might actually be useful. If I`m not mistaken, Vanessa Ferrari still does it. You know, it’s not exactly a common skill... May be Chellsie Memmel integrated it into her beam routine;)

    WAG What do you think makes a good coach?

    It is also important to be able to inspire with your own or other example. Our coach told us that at competitions in the late 80th, she had a cracked callus. And not just a callus, but the skin in the palm of her hand. She quickly bandaged her palm and put on the grips. Then she again went to...

    Leanne Wong

    At the USA Nationals, she was fifth in the AA with bronze on the floor, and at the Trials she finished eighth in the AA and second on the floor. If she would bring back Komova II on bars, it would be so helped. Also Andreasen, Dos Santos I and 3 1/2 twists laid out salto backward on FX

    WAG Grace McCallum?…… (US Olympic Team Discussion)

    You know, I looked at the list of judges at the OG. It's sadly that there are just a few famous former gymnasts and great coaches there. Lyubov Adrianova, Elena Davydova, Nadezhda Seile and Vera Kiryashova were still Soviet specialists who doing their job for many years. And it was so nice to...

    In most cases they have certain choreographers who works with them, but several girls often have the same choreographer.

    Yes! Both of nights, his first vault was Ri Se Gwang, but seconds were different!

    WAG Ukraine

    Yes! Victoria Karpenko, Alina Kozich and Irina Krasnyanskaya are my fav Ukrainian gymnasts! Especially I loved Alina`s and Irina`s beam programs with a straddle planche mount;) Lyudmila Tourischeva was elected to the Women's Artistic Gymnastics Technical Committee and has remained involved in...

    MAG Donnell Whittenburg’s Vault at Olympic Trials

    First day, his vault up was the tsuk full-in double tuck, a little off on the landing with a big step back. Another vault was the Roche, and he had to take a huge leap out of it. Second day, it really was Ri Se Gwang, big stumble over and off the side of the mat. After this he did the Dragulescu...

    WAG usa floor music

    We need to remember that music must match the image chosen by the gymnast. And I would also advise her to smile more often while performing floor exercises. It helps to improve the score.

    WAG What do you think makes a good coach?

    I think good athletes rarely become good coaches. All of my former coach's girls became successful gymnasts (one of them was even a European champion). I mean she saw everything, calculated everything, so she became a very strong coach who helped and insured us. Without a coach, it was really...

    WAG Ukraine

    Hi! Unfortunately they even haven`t a single women`s team for OG:rolleyes: On the international level, only two girls have to compete now. There are Anastasya Bachynska and Diana Varynska... The situation with men`s gymnastics is better, some gymnasts successfully take part in different...
