Artistry Montage: Beauty in the Details

The idea for this montage came after I noticed several gymnast carrying their choreography in their floor routines over to the beam.

love it! can u tell me the music u used in this video- i really like it!

[22Christie]

It's a version of the Russian folk song "Dark Eyes" by Blue Sky Orchestra.

wow i never noticed that before!

[22Christie]

I may have watched too much gymnastics...haha

[gymstar]

thanks :-)

Great video! I really like this. I didn't even think that was "Dark Eyes", but I did think it was Russian.

Nastia is so elegant, thank you very much for the montage:-)

[22Christie]

Thanks, guys. I didn't actually know the name of that leap, so I just made up one I thought suited it. Thanks for the info. If there's one thing about the online gymnastics community, it's that they know their gymnastics. :) And I've really enjoyed learning from everyone. Happy watching over the next week or so!

or also a double stag leap. that's what i've always heard it as. or a double stag leap with head thrown back. really no difference. but there are different names for things everywhere.

The "broken" leap is actually referred to as a stag leap

There are 3 variations of it (I think)

The way Bogi does it, One with the knees more bent, and a stag ring with the head thrown back and the back leg making a ring position (like a sheep jump but one leg is out in front, it's only a B on beam but a lot of people, including myself, think it should be a C)

i never knew alicia done that on beam

nice montage

[calitoe]

I love spotting those things too. Another example that comes to my mind is the sort of break-dance Silivas did both on beam and floor in the 88 Olympics.
