Tumbler Reacts to Banned Gymnastics Skills

[@laikynb4256]

I think the side flip things were banned because it could probably really hurt peoples knees if they landed wrong

[@darrintumbles4557]

good point! that’s probably true

[@Castro-sl5qw]

You're exactly right.. I don't think it looked good anyway. I'm an ex gymnast from the 70's! And I was practicing the Olympic compulsory vault, (front handspring with a full twist post flight and didn't complete the full twist) landing on a crash pad sideways and tore ligaments in my knee ending my gymnastic career. It's scary what these kids are doing nowadays.

The beam dismount was a tsukahara. The Thomas rollout is what killed Elena mukina who did the full twisting backflip on bars. Great video

It paralyzed Mukhina, she died many years later. It essentially ended her life as she knew and enjoyed it though!

@@fordkoleski7913 she was tired and her coach insisted she kept working on it. I'm an ex gymnast and you obviously get tired at one point or another and the trick doesn't get easier when your tired. Those kind of new tricks must be practiced at the beginning of your daily practice not when your tired. If you're tired your set ups get sloppy ( round off or back handspring etc) her coach made her keep trying. ) I'm not trying to lecture you it's just from experience. Her ahole coaches wanted medals to make themselves look good at any expense necessary. Elena was a beautiful gymnast.

@@Castro-sl5qw I'm well aware. I've have been involved in the gymnastics world as a gymnast, then coach and judge for the past 40 yrs.

@@fordkoleski7913 FINALLY SOMEONE WHO GETS IT! I HOPE I DIDN'T OFFEND YOU COACH! Much respect to you for your participation in gymnastics!! Peace and respect to you Sir!!! My career was also ended because I couldn't do pommel horse. Leg circles is about all I could do. Thank you for responding 👏👏

If old school gymnastics pushed boundaries, I wonder what boundaries Simone's triple-double pushes. Like seriously a TRIPLE FREAKING DOUBLE!
