If you didn't know my beam coach, Neela Nelson, is part of the Women's Technical Committee. And I was trying to get some info out of her today so this is what I have.
Level 7's are restricted to A's and B's only
Level 8's are restricted to A's and B's as well? I just know that they cannot compete[on floor] 1.5 twists, double fulls, {on beam] switch leaps, straddle jumps, no back handspring layouts.
Level 9's vault start values increase, I know that a layout yurchenko is a 10.0 and a pike is around a 9.7-9.8. They are also restircted to A's B's C's and ONE D[neela fought for a long time to let them allow a D so everyone thank her]
SO my thoughts...
Level 7 stuff is fine its basically the same[i think]
Level 8- really disappointed. seriously no switch leaps? no double fulls? come on people
Level 9 the vault value thing seems like a good idea. but only ONE D????? that is so stupid, no room for originality, and it makes it harder to move up to level 10 where you are expected to have 2-4 D's.
So thats all i could get out of her.
She doesnt like this but she says its because they thought that the reason people were quitting is because gymnastics is too hard. PSHHHH!!!! what do they expect?
Thats all for now.
