    Women Help! Are my grips too big!?

    Hi everyone - maybe you can help me with my predicament...🥹😆 I've been out of the sport for 7+ years and am having fun doing some training again as an adult 😁 My old handguards/grips are pretty badly stretched and so I decided to invest in a new pair. I went with Reisport double buckle grips...

    Women Sideways facing straddle jump on beam?

    Thank you, that's very helpful! When did they introduce the new rules about when to split in a sideways facing straddle or split 1/2? Was it first introduced in the current code of points? I'd be interested in finding the details of that. Thanks again :)

    Women Sideways facing straddle jump on beam?

    Thanks, I've just checked and you're right! Plus someone in the Youtube comments gave a break down of the D-score, assigning the straddle as a C as expected. Just strange I can't find it in the code of points, unless I'm being blind! Thanks again :)

    Women Sideways facing straddle jump on beam?

    Back when I was still competing 8+ years ago a straddle jump sideways on the beam was rated as a C element (if I remember correctly). I've just had a look through the latest code of points, and I can't even see it as a listed skill anymore (only a straddle jump in the cross beam position...

    Women Best handguards these days?

    Hi everyone! I have come back to gymnastics as an adult (having so much fun with it too despite the many challenges haha!), and am thinking I might invest in a new pair of handguards/grips for bars as the ones I currently have are over 10 years old 😆 Just wondered if anyone could tell me their...

    Women Round off - forwards or backwards?

    Interesting - so it can be a forward or sideways element? I actually wondered if it might be considered a backward element because it lands backwards which is easier than landing forwards. For example, an arabian summi is considered a forwards element because it lands forwards. But a round-off...

    Voluntary Levels

    Could someone please explain to me exactly what voluntary levels are? Is it an elite comp, rec comp or somewhere in the middle? I still get confused with all the different routes of British Gymnastics!! Thanks!! :)

    Women How did you get into gymnastics?

    My parents enrolled me into baby gym when I was a few months old, then I progressed onto 'real' gymnastics and have loved it ever since!
