Women What is this move called?

In this video at about 24 seconds, the second thing she does on the beam. What is she doing and what is it called? Is she spinning around in the air before a walkover?

I know that Catlina ponor did it in 2012 at the Olympic Games, but other run that I'm not sure.

It is a Kochetkova, which is supposed to be a full twist before the hand support phase of a back handspring. Some may refer to it as a full twisting back handspring.

Well, I'm sure it's named after the first person to have competed it (who I don't know), but it's just a full twisting backhandspring. Guess you could call it an Onodi half.
Edit: Sorry Pineapple, guess we hit reply at the same time.

Ah, I was wondering why on earth she was doing this element based on my knowledge of last years code. I guess we will be seeing these again, now that the technical standard to get this element credited has been lowered with the new code.

I think he's saying that the new code gives this skill more user friendly than it did in the past.

I think this is it - 5.405 in the CoP from 2009-12. If so it is/was a D skill.

Brenna did a "3/4 backhandspring." The hands land 75% around the beam. In the past, the hands needed to be 1/1, but now 3/4 is sufficient which is what I think the posters meant by it being more "user friendly" now. It is an E in the JO COP and was upgraded to an E temporarily in the FIG COP. I believe it's now back to D in the revisions.

The value of the twisting bhs is that it can be connected in the same direction with a triple series in elite. There aren't many skills anymore that can do that for full connection value.

See this wording I understand! Thank you!

It is called a kochetkova, named after Dina Anatolyevna Kochetkova, a Russian gymnast.
