“I love wolf turns 😈”

Ah, 2009. When a 2.5 wolf turn on beam was a rare and unusual skill.

Never forget Aliya Mustafina doing wolf turns for choreographic purposes back in the day.

So I did this today, which means I'm qualified to displace all the senior national team if I learn split half from side position

So in the NBC broadcast Tim said that gymnasts are no longer allowed to do 1/2 wolf turns, only full ones. So they can't do a 2.5, just a double or a triple. Does this mean the eponymous skills were removed from the code? (I think the 2.5 was named for Terin Humphrey?)

“wolf turns need to be downgraded, aside from the obvious reason that they're horrifically ugly, but aren't they also just a teensy bit easier because having to do it in tuck stand position lowers your center of gravity and making it harder to lose your balance/fall out of it. obviously they're still hard for some people but they need to be downgraded, like, yesterday.”

“I'd love to see Whitney get the quintuple wolf turn named after her in the L10 code!”
