I’m obsessed with the Petrova. It reminds me of the unique skills and mounts from old school gymnastics and I love how mesmerizing it looks.

[@CameronD123]

That mount only being a D rating is why no one will train and perform it. That should be an E in my uneducated opinion haha

[@New_Wave_Nancy]

I love the Sayer, even though it's only rated C. It brings back some originality and looks cool.

[@JClover2]

I'm so impressed new skills are still being discovered. You'd think by now everything and anything has already been done.

[@SPDYellow]

The Petrova is amazing. It’s great to see a return to bar mounts.

[@daughterofchrist1775]

Love the creativity of the Esponda because it makes dance and floor refreshing, interesting and fun!

[@TwistedApple]

so the regular butterfly is valued at B and the butterfly with a full twist is valued at.. B? it's not even the front support landing because the Moerz and a pike jump 1/1 are both C, the FIG sucks at promoting individuality

[@matthewhines9787]

My fav is the Adasteindottir because it's a skill I made up for my imaginary Hungarian gymnast in 2003. ... ...Her name was Sonja Tenkova She also did Shaposhnikova to in-bar Deltchev and pike Fan dismount...all before these trends were in use. I'm the kind of gymnastics nerd that has always had one or two imaginary gymnasts that I make up careers and routines for in my head when I get bored.

[@jesb3973]

I can’t even picture an in-bar Delchev. How would you get in position to release the bar at the right time with momentum in the right direction?! I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a toe on Delchev. Anyone?

[@matthewhines9787]

@@jesb3973 My bad. I meant to say _in-between-bar_ Deltchev. As in the way post Shaposh Geingers are being done _toward_ the low bar.

[@PeiwenTanbassoon821]

I really like the Esponda. Wish athletes get to have moves named after name regardless of the difficulty rating.

[@elle613]

this channel is so good, for lifelong gymnastics fans and newcomers alike. thanks!

[@SweetSirenia]

I really love the Adalsteinsdottir and have enjoyed it each time I've seen it so far. If they could make it an F, it would encourage more gymnasts to train it. For me personally, the Gebeshian mount looks so much better than the Petrova. Without touching the low bar, there's a bit of an in-air "sag" that looks messy to me. Utilizing the low bar also helps control the swing and form upon catching. I have a suspicion the Petrova will be one of the many skills where someone else will come along and do it more cleanly than the person it's named for, and maybe that will change my opinion of it. The Esponda works for me when she immediately connects into something else. It'll be nice in a high-energy, up-tempo FX.

[@cocoroni1031]

B skills should be named in the CoP. It provides a basis for gymnasts to "invent" a new skill by adding some technical difficulties out of these skills.

[@Lovebirdd]

The Petrova is so cool!!

[@dawnxwishes5506]

i love the petrova it reminds me of how they used to do gymnastics in the late 20th century

[@demonsalwayswin]

I wish we could see more elements like Esponda on floor. It looks amazing!

[@ItsCelestia.]

What i love about these is that three of them are *actually unique* new skills. I feel that lately they aren't new skills anymore, they are new combinations of two existing skills. The Adalsteinsdottir, for instance, is a Wieler into a Jaeger. Does that make it less cool, of course not, but I still don't see it as a new skill. But i am happy to hear other perspectives. ❤

[@SweetSirenia]

The Petrova is a Gebeshian without low bar support, so that's another example of something not being completely original. I agree that it's a lot more fun when things are truly new, but it's so rare now.

[@shumingc]

I love all the new skills, so creative

[@ER__783]

Heron appears to be a powerful gymnast. Though she would be an even more successful one if she equally focused on her form - flexed feet and leg separations being the main issues. I'm rooting for her.

[@SweetSirenia]

There's a lot of frustration amongst fans that Carlos Rafael Gil isn't giving her the coaching she needs. He's a good coach but she needs a great one.

[@kristinae.7084]

I love all of these! Innovation makes me happy :)

[@saraquill]

For me, it's a tossup between the Petrova and the Sayer.

[@blackswan7990]

Finally mount on bars is comeback Petrovas is soo pretty.

[@erinm9445]

I love the care you always take to pronounce gtmnasts' names correctly 💖

[@simonschumacher2044]

So the Petrova is basically a Gebeshian mount without hand support on the low bar?

[@Cloudyyeditsoffical]

These skills look like old school gymnastics it looks beautiful

[@alicemcfarlane9717]

As an Australian, I absolutely ❤ the Sayer! 🇦🇺🦘

[@Aeunax123]

These are all so awesome! The head kip

[@anabeatrizgarcia106]

Obsessed with the Sayer

[@x_n_x_gal9161]

Hillary Heron is such a rising star ❤

[@raulvega4016]

Petrova looks so cool

[@marcusharman9059]

These are really cool! I hope artistry makes a comeback but I'm not holding my breath. I can't wait to see this next quad.

[@kalhnuxtes]

I really liked the last one. It reminded me more of the old days

[@ajc94]

The Esponda is so cool!!!

[@im_so_rachel]

These are great!!!

[@ae2948]

I'm surprised the Petrova and the Sayer were given such high value.

[@hankmcaff9350]

didn't Khorkina do a version of the last skill in her floor routine in 2000?

[@melissakerber8287]

Wasn’t Shilese Jones training a Heron? I seem to recall her wanting to have that skill named for herself but she didn’t get around to competing it at Worlds.

[@matshitseamantle]

She trained it but never competed it at any international FIG competition

[@SweetSirenia]

Same with Joscelyn Roberson, who's in the video. I think Heron beat her to it in international competition; Josc only did it domestically.

[@no_2792]

​​@@SweetSireniaRebe trained that skill too but never did it in a FIG meet

[@guardianofthegalaxy2051]

Isn’t full twist jump bars mount named after houry? Or am i getting mixed up

[@JasonQiuMusic]

Houry touches the low bar on her way to the high bar

[@ahmedqatar4228]

ياروحي كل مشاركات جميلات حبي مووووت ❤❤❤

[@ryanje8147]

The last gymnast got ripped off. That is very cool and she should get credit for it.

[@TremblingQualifier]

Faves are Petrova and Sayer.

[@wagnerantonio4754]

The HERON should have been the "Jesus" if the Brazilian gymnast Merly de Jesus had submitted back in 2001

[@austinvanfleet3849]

Well, the Jesus II, at least. The Jesus I already exists - it's where you stand on the high bar, T-pose, and then fall to your death, only to return and finish the routine three days later. It's rated H - but should probably be higher, because Resurrection skills are REALLY hard, and only a select handful of gymnasts can do it at all. Sorry in advance for this VERY stupid joke, I couldn't resist 😅

[@fabergefolliesdancentumble3023]

All beautiful-

[@lizzzzzzzz]

im really excited! i have found routines to be super boring - especially beam.

[@mrbs123]

Faltou o Andrade 🤩 A princípio o Heron era também pra ser um Andrade mas a Rebeca não executa mais por conta do joelho

[@gyddeonkwan2479]

What happened to the Zhang??

[@cocoroni1031]

Not recognized because it's technically not a layout.

[@SHaqq-wv9hn]

To be honest---though it is cool to freshen things up a bit with interesting new skills (and I don't know the reason it seems SO MANY current gymnasts REPEAT the SAME skills as other gymnasts---can anyone explain the "Wolf Turn" overload??? 🤔)---I don't get WHERE & WHY the originality of individual gymnasts disappeared to begin with. When u view gymnastics routines from decades ago---it seemed as if they were all different from one another & really cool to watch. The were exciting and you didn't see "everybody" executing the SAME skills. The ones featured in this vid, were kind of "yawn" worthy, though I did kind of like the uneven p.b. one...

[@cocoroni1031]

Wolf turn is FIG's favourite turn. While it's difficult, it has no technical requirement like other turns. Gymnasts are penalized by *not doing a wolf turn* in the D score on floor. The point system is designed to find gymnasts who are more talented, not gymnasts who have originality. Simone Biles was a unique example to incorporate difficulty and originality (no one else can do) to win. Sanne Wevers was a unique example to have originality and refreshing style to win.

[@benjalucian1515]

First one isn't that new. Latter part was being done in 1976. The Esponda was cool.

[@JoseSantos-fk3yg]

0:34 esse elemento já não havia sido executado em 2016?

[@ianstratton1629]

Idk about the Heron… you mean women have competed double doubles, full ins, and now triple doubles all before someone thought to do a 1.5 double? I find that very unlikely. This had to have been a skill already…

[@ellalella1]

They have to officially submit it to get it named after yourself so things can have been done before but the gymnast didn't want to submit it or they thought it was a routine already used by someone before or something like that. I thought the Heron wasn't a particularly pretty move even though the technical aspects are impressive.

[@ianstratton1629]

@ I get that I’m just very surprised. I thought the same thing about the Biles (double lay half). The Moors (double double laid out) existed for nearly a decade before the Biles. Even though you can’t learn the Moors without first doing the Biles. So the skill was definitely being done regularly in training for decades before Biles “invented” it.

[@TheMusicBH]

Esponda nitidamente copiou o elemento que já existe da Svetlana khorkina

[@LB-eq6bn]

Is pointing your toes passé or something? None of these gymnasts bothered.

[@Katie-dy7zx]

Glad to see…gets boring seeing the same routines over and over.
