Dan Hayden (USA) doing his eponymous dismount in 1988 and David Vecsernyes (HUN) performing it in 2017

[fuck-usag]

This is so badass - a dismount that looks like a release move but is actually a dismount.

If you can’t catch the release just don’t

@thepushyqueenofsluttown So I am pretty good at analyzing tumbling and correct take off angles in terms of beam and floor. But on vault I have a small question. Is it better to have a block like Maroney, (i.e wide, hands out)

or more like Simone (i.e closed, hands in)

Because I know on FX you rather have your arms closed in a BHS for a better push, but what about in vault. Or is it just a preference thing

IM HERE FOR THE FERLITO VS REST OF THE NATIONAL TEAM CATFIGHT

[aly126]

Wait, what’s up with that? Also, it’s rude to withhold gossip, so share with the class

[iordikachu]

From a vanity fair italy interview

“Some people in gymnastics said i was only interested in being a diva because i was on tv, and then the same people joined the show” (that would be ferrari)

(On whether it worked to leave the show and only concentrate on training) “well i was the top ranked italian in rio…”

(On relationships within the nt) “Do you want a fairytale? Theres a lot of competition…and i wont say more”

[elisaminimeneghini]

I mean….considering only she and Vanessa did AA in Rio, Carlotta DID rank higher than Vanessa so where is the lie lmao.

Also I think that’s aimed at Enus too, not just Vanessa. Carlotta hates Enus with a passion. Besides, it’s pretty common knowledge that Vanessa and Carlotta dislike one another lol, after Rio Vanessa posted a pic where she was at the closing ceremony with everyone but Carlotta and she captioned it like squad goals or something lmaooo. After which Carlotta threw some shade back on Twitter, of course. Never a dull day with these two :’)

[iordikachu]

Wait wait i never knew about enus?

[elisaminimeneghini]

Yeah remember when Enus came back and for like 20 seconds it looked like she could be a useful asset on beam (*cries forever*) and Carlotta started throwing all that shade saying Enus was trying to ~copy~ her (on her IG pictures, by taking part in Ginnaste, makeup, etc.)? And then Enus said (with a lot of grace I gotta say) that she didn’t feel exactly welcome on the national team…I wonder why lmao.

[iordikachu]

I dont actually hahah

thought that had smth to do with her “injury” right before the assoluti

[elisaminimeneghini]

Oh yeah but that came a lot later

[iordikachu]

Though i gotta say that situation now looks totally different if enus really felt like that….😞

[elisaminimeneghini]

Idk I’m sure Enus isn’t exactly a saint either, she’s probably just more Internet-smart. But yeah, it’s no secret I love her so I feel for her trying to find her place on a team with people not making her life any easier :/
