Women Different twisting style

[cbifoja]

I was hoping someone could explain why different gymnasts look different while twisting.

When DD does a full, she spins so fast that she blurs. The skill is over before you realize it. But a teammate of hers looks like she has all the time in the world. She lays up, does a very elegant twist and then floats back down to earth. They were taught by the same coach so I don't understand why they do the skill so differently.

Comments?

Guessing it has to do with one being more fast muscle twitch than the other

yes, and power or the ability to "set" the layout high in the air making the twist look slower.

and when you compare small athlete vs. mature athlete it becomes an illusion.
