Tim Dagget is horrible commentator LOL he sounds like such an idiot. I remember at Nationals after Aly Raisman had a big wobble on beam Tim said the routine was flawless and Al said "Did you just say that?!" LOL

Well you have to do a back extension roll in Level 5 and Level 6, and it will be severely deducted if you don't do it with straight arms. I would suggested doing it with your hands turned in (fingertips facing eachother) and squeezing all your fingers together. To get stronger, start doing back...

His parents look Puerto Rican I guess, but they are very light. However, John looks so dark, is he adopted?

I agree gym law, deepest group of US gymnasts ever. Even deeper than in '04. If Martha screws this up and doesn't get the team gold OMG

As a gymnast I constantly wondered about what type of hurdle is best, as I was also taught different things by different coaches. My conclusion is that a power hurdle (with straight legs) is best when space is an issue, but if your tumbling run does not take up the whole diagonal, then bending...

Hi, thanks for explaining your situation with so many details. What is it you are really asking? Should you let your daughters join team? Your daughters definitely have potential if it was suggested that they join team. Trust me, a coach will not invite a lazy, unmotivated, or untalented gymnast...

I think it's good that your daughter will be in a challenging group, but more importantly that she will have the opportunity to compete at the highest level she is capable of right now. It is definitely okay to have a gymnast competing on a level where not all of her skills are easy for her...

I also made a Shawn montage which needed the beam ceremony, but like you I couldn't find it ANYWHERE! I used a picture of the ceremony instead and it turned out nicely, you can watch my video to see or use the clip: Shawn Johnson: They Don't Make 'Em Like You - YouTube

Gabby is a great gymnast but she was WAY overscored at nationals. She should not have come anywhere near within two tenths of Jordyn Wieber. I predict that she won't qualify for the AA in London.

Hi! Are you talking about your bhs on the floor or beam? When they say you are throwing your head back, they mean that you are throwing it back too soon. At some point you must tilt your head back to spot your hands and the floor, but you need to wait to do this until you have jumped into the...

Please don't misunderstand: ALL GYMNASTS ARE "POWER" GYMNASTS! Think about it, even though people like Liukin are not 4 foot 9 or doing full twists on beam, they must be VERY powerful to succeed. Nastia was actually the first woman to get a quad twisting layout on floor, and she also performs a...

I am hoping someone can answer my question about why Alicia Sacramone has the team gold medal Anna Li appeared to win at the 2011 Worlds? I realize Anna Li didn't compete, but she wrote on her twitter that she is a world gold medalist. But then Alicia was talking about getting her 10th world...

Back tucks and front tucks are fine. It might seem like the coach is having them to this to make the class more fun, and that might be true. But the main reason coaches let kids work skills that are so far beyond those kids' current level is to take advantage of the small window when they are...
