The third episode of the new ABC Family gymnastics drama is now online. Be sure to look for 2000 US Olympian Tasha Schwikert around the 5-6 minute mark! There's also a funny reference to Kerri Strug's vault in the 1996 Olympics.

The show airs at 9pm on Mondays.Watch episode three.

Crazy Vault: Full-Twisting Tsuk Double!

Thursday July 2, 2009
I just saw this video on GymnasticsCoaching.com and it's pretty insane. It's of an unidentified North Korean gymnast doing a Tsukahara double back with a full twist. Though he puts his hands down, it looks like he can make the skill. This video was from training, but it seems like it won't be long until this vault is competed.

Watch the video. (I wish I could embed it, sorry!)

I still get freaked out watching a lot of gymnasts' Tsuk doubles, so I for one, am a little nervous about seeing this one in a meet.

Are you a coach, gymnast, or gym parent? Tell us about the gyms where you've worked, watched or trained. I get tons of e-mails asking about gyms in specific areas, so hopefully this will help us all. All reviews can remain anonymous, and the more info you can give, the better. Review a gymnastics club.
