Women Is a round off a flight element?

[gymnastjetta]

I'm not a strong back tumbler; is a roundoff a flight element on floor? (particularly for xcel gold)

 

[sfts]

Yes, it is. Xcel Gold can be done with no back tumbling at all (for example, FHS-FHS or FHS-RO + FT).

 

[Aussie_coach]

Yes

Yes, it is. I'm not a back tumbler either so I had to do more front tumbling and roundoffs. (For XCEL Gold)

I think it's so interesting how different gymnasts have different strengths! My DD is not a great front tumbler, but is very comfortable with back. But now that she's starting to learn twisting (on trampoline of course) she's a much better front twister than back...good luck to all! As a parent, I love hearing from the gymnasts' points of view. There are some very mature and informative teens on this forum

Yes, it is. My friends do FHS RO, rather than front tuck. I'd suggest doing a ROBHS, though, if you want to get better!
