Women Help Me Decipher Gym Terminology 1/1, 1/2, 2/1 etc

[GymGirl's Mom]

Ok I am so confused about all the terminology. For example turns on beam 1/1 is that a full turn, how about if we are talking about tumbling? What's one and a half turns? What's 2/1? What's 1/2? Is this math, or shorthand?

1/1 is a full
1/2 is a half
2/1 is a double

I think. LOL

2/1 is a double rotation I would say.
Those are just mathematical fractions.

Helllllp!!! Coaches?

 

[cbifoja]

And a 3/2 is a one and a half

 

[gymgal]

They are just fractions. So a 3/2 is a 1.5 twist/turn. 2/1 is a double. Not sure why they use them instead of decimals. Probably so that is is not confusing in the code, which I believe is outlined using 1.1, 1.2, etc.

^^^Yep, as everyone else has said, they are just mathematical fractions.

 

[duyetanh]

But when are they used? Is it like shorthand?

I would use it anytime I'm writing in reference to twisting.
Example: back 1 1/2 punch front 1/1
Would be the tumbling pass: round off, layout with one and a half twist punch front full.
