    Women Beam Connection and a Fall

    DD's coach told her tonight that if she fell on her BWO BWO series that she wouldn't get credit for the connection even if she landed both on the second try.

    Women Balance beam surface

    Fairly recently my gym resurfaced some of our balance beams and it has made me wonder. The new surfaces are much more rough, it's almost like sand paper. I'm disappointed because my favorite beams got resurfaced, they were JF beams and had super soft suede. I understand why that would be a...
