The possibilities for my inquiry seem limited:
(1) Round Off--R-RO or L-RO--(defined here by which knee is up in the hurdle);
(2) Twists and turns-- R (clockwise), or L (counterclockwise).
The ELITE Rightie gymnasts frequently perform L-RO, and L-twist, correct? I understand that is typically desirable for Righties.
But Beginning in JO L2, a gymnast must pick a R-RO or L-RO, and several turns (clockwise or counterclockwise). Then, L3, esp. beam dismount, builds upon those decisions (R-RO vs L-RO).
If you follow the USAG text and exemplar videos, they show the Righties select R-RO, R-twist, and R-Turns with R leg lifts, R kicks, R leaps).
Will the Righties who follow the videos and text precisely need to switch to a L-RO and L-twist to become elite?
I think I am I missing something here. At the same time, the USAG text appears to leave room for Righties to reverse the round off, but the video and the text are clearly more persuasive to most coaches and gymnasts around here.
Why wouldn't USAG text and videos show Righties with a L-RO and L-twist?
