Why are the women presenting with one arm?

[Canadian_gym_mom]

Some of them anyway. I'm sort of annoyed by it for some reason. LOL

LOL. I notice that the European & Asian gymnasts all do that. I think it's just a preference thing, but please, someone chime in if I am wrong.

It's pretty common, they het to choose.

That is just their way of doing it. It used to be the European thing to do, and the American way to salute with 2 hands.

Okay thanks. I've never really noticed, I thought it was one arm for men, 2 arms for women!

We have competed against a few team who use only one arm, at the lower levels
