Floor Exercise Leaps and Jumps Guide

[@kamilaford5752]

Nastia’s switch half and finishing pose are so beautiful with this music.

[@kimberlyann56]

This montage is made 20x better simply because of the music. LOVE somewhere in time... :] Thanks for this... very helpful! :]

[@SageRosemaryTime]

Love your work ! Could binge on watching these videos .

[@MostepanovaFan]

Music is: Maksim Mrvica Somewhere in Time / The Old Woman. The code describes a Tour Jete as: Fouette Hop with leg change to cross split (leg separation 180°) to land on one foot

[@bunbacheso]

@Gymnasticseverywhere In dance, a cat leap is called an axel turn, but I think it may be a teeny bit different because axels are done with tighter passe. A reverse leap in dance would be if you turned your torso 180 in the air but your legs did not switch. In other words, you start off leaping foreward with a right leg split and end up in a left leg split going backwards or vice versa. In both dance and gymnastics, a tour jete (french for turn leap) involves a turn and a switch.

[@woodmouse-71]

a very informative video, thank you.

[@chrislindsey14]

I think Mattie Larson did something like that too at the 2008 Olympic trials. It was really good!

[@GalitAviva]

Fantastic! Thanks for making this vid.

[@matthewxcountry]

@Daniel Neves, a switch split leap the leg you push off of goes forward. In the regular split leap the leg you push off of goes backwards. The latter is much easier to generate the required power to compete the leave (its very similar to the motion a hurdler would go over a hurdle in track and field)

[@hshepard5538]

Thank you!

[@jboww2121]

the khorkina is so cool! it seems like it would be more than a B. but then again there aren’t any splits involved

[@withtheangelss]

how come a butterfly (b) is rated higher than a side aerial (a)? b = +0.2 a = +0.1

[@TsubasaDreams]

@MostepanovaFan Thank you for explaining that, I've always wondered the difference between a Tour Jete and a switch half. To me they look the same.

[@alexatornrose]

When you come across the word "switch" it means that one leg swings forward to a less then 45 degrees angle, then it comes backwards, and the other leg swings forward until you rich the split position. That's why it's called "a switch leap", because the legs change direction in their swing in the air. Where "switch" not mentioned, there's no leg switch.

[@sabkktt]

could anyone tell me, wat is the difference between tour jete and split leap 0.5 turn?

[@Auregym]

Very complete montage, but where is the piked jump ? (I don't know if that still exists, but Amanar was doing one)

[@TsubasaDreams]

Great music and great content. What is the title of the music? It is just lovely. Out of curiosity, how does one technically describe a tour jete?

[@Shane_2022]

Is the Johnson switch split named after Shawn Johnson?

[@MostepanovaFan]

It is not in the code of points anymore, no pike jumps are for floor exercise so I assume the FIG want to discourage them (not that many people did them anyway)

[@MultiChantal22]

Still don't understand the difference between a switch leap full and a split leap full 🤔 They look the same to me

[@elizabeth8720]

Switch leap full - turn toward front leg. Split leap full - turn away from front leg.

[@caitlinoconnell9883]

Same! It's like they are trying to show the split position with the same lead leg after they turn 180 degrees, strange technique imo.

[@mpbeautyinsight]

What is the music to this video ? I must have it :-) I have an iClock and always wake to classical music .. makes for a nice gentle awakening vs beeping.

[@Elong.]

Brandy Johnson is the namesake for the Johnson leaps not Shawn correct? I've seen those leaps for years.

[@shaylauren166]

Correct!

[@gymnasticslover23]

@MostepanovaFan Well in my floor routine I have a pike 1.5. It should still be around

[@danielcnsilva]

Well, what's the difference between switch split leaps with a half turn or more and Split leaps with a half turn or more?

[@mpbeautyinsight]

a leap is from a run and a jump is from a standing position.

[@emma2710gymnastics]

wow, there are very few high value jumps, which seems odd now that tumbling is limited!!! :( great montage though, i love these!

[@ljacob30]

isnt the split leap at :23 a switch split? im probably wrong but thats what it looks like

[@Diemsey17]

Brandi Johnson I believe! :)

[@MAVsince1991]

difference between a tour jete and a switch split 1/2 ?? =/

[@danielcnsilva]

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lucascampelovianna]

Momento tão Márcia Goldschmidt...

[@tarantulabunnydog]

Hey @mostepanovafan who composed this music? Is it from something?

[@Henriqueeu]

where you get the videos of 5:36 and 4:32?

[@bunbacheso]

what is this music called?

[@violaroadkill]

What is the difference between a leap and a jump?

[@joyfuljaj]

leaps take off one leg, jumps take off both. I typically think of leaps landing on one leg too, but I don't know if that is the gymnastics definition.

[@AlyaralovaFan]

What year and competition is it at 0:20?

[@sabkktt]

Could anyone tell me what is the difference between split leap and sissone?

[@13shifter]

Sissone you land on one leg then the other steps to come to it. Split you take off of both legs and then land back with both legs at the same time.

[@sabkktt]

+Matt Beck +Matt Beck no..you are wrong. i have found the right answer. The difference is related to the legs in the air but not landing. split leap is about 180 split horizontally while sissone is a sloping line in the air..

[@13shifter]

Excuse me but don't be rude. I was just trying to help. Yes you are correct about the split position but you are also supposed to land on one foot at a time for a sissone. Most gymansts do not do this on floor but it is more easily scene on balance beam.

[@davies375]

As if the double tuck jump to front support a B!!! I would have thought it would be way harder than that!

[@ladodgerschick]

2:53 look at Pav's oversplits!

[@lucascampelovianna]

A chinese girl did a switch ring lep with half turn at Chinese Nationals this year.

[@monsetamarindo]

omg the last one wasnt even close!! that was just one turn! look at her feet when she leaves the floor and when she landed!

[@jessicagingras300]

was A very hard or easy

[@blue_manatee3895]

easy

[@AleaTeo]

easy

[@pamsimonson5500]

Like I said people. the first type of training.. low reps or plyometrics. pure POWER isn't muscle size .. hypertrophy is muscle size not power.

[@cathersandtom]

leap takes off from one foot and a jump takes off from 2 feet

[@piskoun]

I just was never sure with the very last jump by Gogean. I always felt like she cheated a bit on it...

[@finfelagund]

There have always been some controversies with "Gogean", that is to say, double wolf leap. Even Gina, it´s inventor, cheated it a little bit throughout her carreer, the same with other girls who (perhaps) did it or tried it later. So I am surprised at the high ("D") value of this highly controversial skill.

[@michaelst.helene1540]

Since it is being cheated on by even the creator and others it shows that it is a difficult skill to do well.

[@mirkodonsanto]

ooops, u've written name EREMAIA....instead of Eremia :)

[@raras889]

That last wolf hop didn't complete two full turns... but I bet she got credit for it anyway. Typical Gina Gogean.
