I think it works really well. well the idea of it does. but there are so many wayss out there!! but i think the chinese have tended to use this twist and i know in Australia at least it is being strongly encouraged as well. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943980977308137302.post-19313702967954873662009-01-17T22:59:00.000-06:002009-01-17T22:59:00.000-06:00It does seem to be a bit of a Chinese thing to go ...It does seem to be a bit of a Chinese thing to go for late twists. But if it helps Cui to learn vaulting like Cheng, we're not complaining!<BR/><BR/>There is still no news about Yang Yilin whatsoever. We're not sure what to make of it. We expect some news about the Chinese team after Chinese New Year, when the new additions to the national team will be announced. Hopefully there will be some news on Yang then too.The Gym Girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04362416176989111908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943980977308137302.post-51718594948405652192009-01-17T22:53:00.000-06:002009-01-17T22:53:00.000-06:00I'm wondering if the Chinese twist later on their ...I'm wondering if the Chinese twist later on their vaults on purpose - like Cheng Fei always seems to twist at the last minute (also on her signature the Cheng - I think it was her '06 world championships vault that I noticed it the most - even the commentators said she seems to 'stall' in the air or that she gets so much height she has time too or something)... sorry completely unknowledgable comment from me.<BR/><BR/>And not related to anything but is China still 'closed-lip' on the whole Yang Yilin injury?
