5 Skills Named After "the Wrong Gymnast"

[@kgoulding1237]

I do like that they changed the rule now if two gymnasts perform the new skill at the same competition it is named after both of gymnasts.

[@d00f60]

But if skinner nailed the moors in quals would it be named after her or both of them since they still did it at worlds just not the same day

I still fail to understand the "controversy" over the Moors. Skinner didn't get to compete it internationally--at any meet--first, and that's how you get a skill named. London Phillips doesn't go on about how it's not fair that the Biles isn't the Phillips.

[@aaronsandman749]

The controversies are in the whole COP and how skills are named after gymnasts, not just the Moors. But okay.

[@rebeccasilver2181]

@@aaronsandman749 it seems fair that you need to compete a skill at an official FIG event to get it named. That's why other skills are controversial, like the Onodi - Mostepanova *had* competed it at an official meet before Onodi did. Skinner had only competed the DTDLO domestically. Why do people think it's controversial when no one says the same about the Biles I?

[@aaronsandman749]

@@rebeccasilver2181 People do say the same about the Biles 1? I have seen such multiple times. Even on London Philips floor video here on KZbin some comments say it. And I believe it should be the first gymnast to compete it and land it with no exception, as long as they are at a level 10 equivalent meet or higher.

[@rebeccasilver2181]

@@aaronsandman749 People talk about Biles vs Phillips, but it's not as heated as Moors vs Skinner. I don't agree that it should be the first person who can land it at any competition. The CoP is written by the FIG, so if you want your name in it you need to do it at an FIG meet. Now that any world cup counts for naming, it's perfectly reasonable. Is it fair to gymnasts who don't get international assignments? No, unfortunately, but allowing any domestic competition where there are no FIG officials present to verify opens the door for other controversies. It also wouldn't be fair to gymnasts from smaller countries, who don't have a bunch of domestic meets the way the US does.

[@oscarmonroy6337]

[@thesovgc]

I've heard it wasn't submitted bc the coaches assumed it was already in the Code. Or it just wasn't prioritized. I don't think Shushunova submitted the Yurchenko 3/2 either.

I feel that Vanessa Ferrari should be recognized as an Olympian (just like Mykayla Skinner) instead of world champion. Both are prestigious but she worked incredibly hard for years to be an olympian.

[@huldamagnusdottir8948]

Exactly, and she is not only an olympian but olympian silver medalist.

[@jackmatheson4671]

World AA Champion holds more prestige in my mind than Olympic Medalist. However Mostepanova is described as only a Soviet Gymnast, so maybe you have a point.

[@nathanberridge7321]

For me, I'd probably prioritise World Champion over Olympic bronze or silver, but Olympic Champion over World. But since she's an Olympic medallist too, she should have been recognised as both.

[@pedrojorge1912]

[@Brenda-tv8tx]

It's surprising how each sport treats recognition differently. Although not the same as having a skill performed and named after you, at least in figure skating you are recognized for successfully landing the skill first regardless of the level of the competition. Also subsequently being recognized for performing the same skill in higher-up competitions up to the Olympics. For figure skating, all athletes whole accomplished the skill first get remembered. I know it's not the same as having it be named after you, but it's fun seeing how different sports approach those who get immortalized in the history books. edit: The competition still being within the code of official tournaments for the sport. Performing it at a local ice rink doesn't count.

[@erinm9445]

I think it's a much better system to have the skill named after the first person to land it in any kind of competition. Or maybe any competition that is a qualifier somewhere in the chain of Olympic/world competition (so in the US, that would mean meets that are nationals qualifiers, because nationals qualifies to trials which qualifies to worlds/Olympics). Having to do it first at the right kind of competition seems artificial and really unfair to some gymnasts!

[@albertitomoon5002]

The Moors is the Moors and that's it. Just because Mykayla did it in a televised event or videos of her doing it went on the Internet first doesn't mean Victoria hadn't been training it or even landed it first in training.

Not even right. They change the rules suspiciously. Very shady.

[@randomvintagefilm273]

So Biles gets credit for it when someone else did it first just because it wasn't in an official competition? That isn't fair

[@lorif3231]

But then the whole Olympics is shady as shi....

I think they should stop this naming for specific athletes business entirely. It's confusing and there will always be controversy over it. Just call it what it is.

This is abused, only someone who has absolutely no experience in the sector would come up with such a nonsensical video. If people do not make internationally, and remain unknown, so do their athletic attempts. Seconfly, if they do Not perform correctly their routines, there is no way in the universe they will have anything named after them. The Biles REMAINS hers because she is one of the very few gymnstatos who have scored a perfect ten!
