WAG Longest beam series?

[blue_5678]

What's the longest beam series that has ever been competed? Does anyone have any videos? I just thought it would be really interesting to see!

I saw a video of Maile Okeefe training a series with 4 skills a little while ago, but that was on a floor beam...

these all have 3 or more. With a serie of 4 you could also think about front handspring to a backward series. Also, Sanne wevers Has a series of turns. There are bhs-loso-loso-loso series in there

Some Romanian gymnast (Diana Vulcan, maybe?) posted a routine filled with connections, I'd say 5 or 6 in a row? When I get home I'll hunt up a video.

I saw that series, and it is AMAZING!

What is the skill where they jump back into a bhs but twist and end up facing the other way?

The longest beam series would be 16'

Onodi

In that video there were quite a few front aerial-front aerial (or similar) connections without continuous movement! You can see the moment where they come up on the landing leg, and pause to see the beam. I remember working on eliminating that when I was training a FHS-FHS on beam. I know that would be a hard series to do with continuous movement since you'd be going into the second aerial blind-ish (and without hand support like in a FHS). Does anyone have a video of this series or similar being performed without that pause?

Maile OKeefe - AMAZING video with 4 elements on low beam:

She has 3 of the elements on the high beam:

I think her advantage is that she hardly travels on those layout step outs. She can easily fit a fourth backwards element, whereas some other gymnasts travel so much that they simply don't have room for more.

Thank you for the video! There's some really interesting connections.

Although it was only 3 elements Victoria Komova had an insane sequence in her junior routine - gainer backhandspring, back layout, arabian

Onodi

I always feel that Olga Mostepanova was robbed of that move - given that she was competing it 10 years before Onodi but at a time when it was not common to "name" elements

I don't remember who it was, but i was a gainer LOSO- LOSO-LOSO series. Was also pretty cool

are there deductions for not having enough "travel" on the Layout stepout?

An anode, not sure if that's spelled right, or if that's what you're talking about.

I think she means a half twisting backhandspring, that is called an onodi

Yes the naming of skills in FIG has a dubious past, with incorrect gymnasts getting credit in some places and others not being named for their skills. To be fair to Onodi she knew it as Mostapanova's skills and called it something like the 'the Moste' when she was learning the skill.
