It drives me nuts- she cheats it! She preps and twists back to gain momentum (as all gymnasts do, which is another cheat) and then she pushes her turning leg onto releve before she begins the turn (In plain english, that means she goes onto the ball of her foot to turn before she starts turning)!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6968019249311094061.post-37738964750771502632011-12-22T18:09:46.414-05:002011-12-22T18:09:46.414-05:00All the women need desperately need ballet instruc...All the women need desperately need ballet instruction.

I don't think she'll become a 3-event gymnast, so we might as well help the girl out! There's a video of Kayla Williams doing a decent bars set. If MLT can help Kayla, there has to be someone that can help Aly and all other girls that will come from Brestyan's in the future (Talia Chiarelli too!).Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316478433253550321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6968019249311094061.post-76828673769640688442011-12-22T13:05:23.158-05:002011-12-22T13:05:23.158-05:00Plus leg up double turns are just too hard in gene...Plus leg up double turns are just too hard in general, I feel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6968019249311094061.post-58596661274018132262011-12-22T13:04:26.252-05:002011-12-22T13:04:26.252-05:00haha Maroney sometimes falls out of her double tur...haha Maroney sometimes falls out of her double turn.. And the only reason why Wieber has no trouble with her triple turn is because she keeps her leg down at the ground. Basically, none of these girls have decent ballet backgrounds... Combine that with the fact that they are tired during their floor routines and are trying to spin on carpet, and you get may crappy turns. It really makes you appreciate when you see someone do a great one. It's hard!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
