Ugh, I could not handle shannon as a full time commentator. Her gymnastics terminology needs some brushing up. Double arabian??? how about no. That implies that there are two arabians, which doesn't make sense. It's arabian double... one arabian, double salto
that's ridiculous. double arabian is like saying double back...does saying double back imply that there are two back flips. no. so stop being so critical
I can see where you're coming from, but to be fair to Shannon, plenty of other commentators use the term "double arabian" for the same skill. Whether the terminology is correct or not, it's widespread and everyone knows that a double arabian is an arabian double front.
I really wish that JO nationals was televised every year. And every age group.
