wow, that was not even a tkatchev

[Yinkgo]

She's not performing a Shushunova release, She's performing a Wilson release. In the J.O. Code of points their numbers are:

2.404 D Wilson

4.505 E Shushunova

The video response above compares the two skills.

wow thanks, I've never even heard of a Wilson before you mentioned it. Is it the same in the senior code?

[Yinkgo]

In the FIG code of points, a Shushunova is a 3.703 It's rated as a "G" in difficulty. I don't see the other release in the FIG code. A friend of mine, an elite rated judge, told me the other release is rated a "D" difficulty in the FIG code. She also mentioned many judges can not distinguish between the two skills.

[jclutter2006]

That almost looks like a mistake.

[backflipboy27]

actually it's a shushunova, invented before khorkina ever did the markelov....I know it's hard to tell in this video, but the gymnast does a full twisting tkatchev. Find a video of natalia ziganshina for a clearer picture.

You're right, its's a Shushunova but the vid is so blurry that you can hardly tell.
