    Women are hands on the beam considered a fall? JO / elite

    I was watching a recording of the world cup in London and Amy Tinkler put her hands down on the beam to save herself from a fall on her series. The commentator mentioned she would get .5 deduction for it. I thought putting hands on their beam to prevent a fall is still considered a fall, that's...

    Women Mental Block on backhandsprings on beam?

    Hi, I know there are probably a million different topics already on this but, I fell like I am really stuck here. Whenever I first started competitive gymnastics I had mental blocks on pretty much everything (standing back handsprings/back tucks, round off back handsprings, front handspring...

    Women Level 6 Beam and Floor Requirements

    Level 6 Beam: So could a beam routine have a back walkover, not a back handspring? What skill value is a back walkover on beam? Would this routine meet requirements- BWO, backward roll, beat jump connected to sissone, full turn, cw bt? If that doesn't fulfil, if I replaced the full turn with a...

    Hello Alexa is a level nine who has a front handspring to side Ariel connection. As you can see in this video she connected very well at states. But at regionals not only did she missed her connection but she also fell on her Ariel. Alexa doesn't. Want to go for her connection in practice...

    Women How do I get over the fear of doing backwalkovers on high beam?

    Ok so I've been doing backwalkers on beam for about 2 weeks. I have it down on the low beam. But once I get to the high beam I completely freak out. My friends and I stack up 3 8 inchers on the lowest high beam. I can do it with all three of them on but once we start taking them off I get all...

    Women What's your dream beam?

    Wow, two threads in three days? I'm on a roll! I got this idea from another thread, started by @Sarah_the_gymnast, about handstand splash downs. If levels didn't exist, composition rules didn't exist, and you could make whatever beam routine you wanted for your gymnasts/child/self, which...

    Women Back Handspring on Beam Jumping

    Hey guys! So, I am having a little bit of trouble with my backhandspring on beam. I have competed it all season with small mental blocks and what not, and just yesterday I missed my hand. My coach told me it was because I didn't jump enough and I just want some drills and things that would help...

    Women Level 9 Skills - beam and floor

    I am trying to figure out for floor and beam - what would be typical for a first year L9 to compete at a minimum? (ie a competent but not a strong L9 on the spectrum of skill difficulty.) And what would be expected skills for a L9 who has been at the level for two or three years, getting ready...

    Women Dreaming of optional beam routine

    Short Stack is dreaming of next year, which will hopefully be her first season as an optional gymnast (no clue if she'll compete 6 or go straight to 7). She is thinking a lot about her beam routine and wants to mount with a press handstand. From what I understand, this is a B skill. If she did...

    Parents BWO beam deduction

    What is the level 5 BWO beam deduction? DD keeps going off to the right. She can do it on the floor but misses 50% of time on beam.

    Women Level 3 Beam fall question

    Hi- I have a question on beam. If you fall on your handstand, attempt it again and fall a 2nd time, does that count as 2 falls?

    Women Shoulder Flexibility and beam back walkovers, any input welcome!

    After reading some horror stories here about back problems as a result of beam back walkovers, I wanted to get some input on dd. I'm not an expert but to me it seems like she doesn't have the best shoulder flexibility. I've seen from reading here that kids with less shoulder flexibility tend...

    Women Does a fouetté hop/jump count for split requirements on beam?

    Assuming the split is actually at the right angle, can you get SR credit for doing this? And adding on, would a fouette hop to a wolf hop work as a jump series? ex to minus the full

    Women Big Toe Getting Stuck - Beam/Floor Shoe?

    Hello all. I've started training again in my old age and am having the time of my life except for one little (or big) problem. When I do turns on beam or floor, my big toe frequently gets "stuck" and then is bruised/swollen for a week or two after. Not looking for medical advice, but rather...

    Women Level 9 Beam deduction/start value question

    Quick back story - my DD had elbow surgery in the fall and we thought her season was shot. But, ends up, she is going to compete this coming weekend on beam and floor at her first level 9 meet. She is so excited even though she knows she will not be super competitive because she has not been...

    I finally did my Korbut on the high beam with no spot yesterday :D Really exciting for me because I finally have a flight skill that I can't wobble on. I know I need work on my form, but hey ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. First one ever! This was towards the first few I did. My Korbut

    Women L5 beam options

    We were at a meet recently where one of the girls did a back extension roll on beam instead of a BWO or BHS. I'd never seen this before so was kind of curious why you don't see it more often. Is it considered more difficult to learn? Would it meet the requirements for L6?
