Great rare release move!

Great rare release move done by a level 10 at nationals in Dallas Texas 2010. I had a girl working this many years ago and thought she might actually compete until she got a little too close to the bar and we thought better.

@soberanis100 counter Kim is not from a toe one,

thumbs up if you have no clue what the comment below me means

[ehill95]

[emhinman]

soo....basically a toe-on merinich?

Talk about a solid landing!

[SkittyMac]

its too bad she still loses points for the extra swing after the catch

It's a toe-on Marinich - an F move if I'm not mistaken. A very impressive move for a level 10.. Would be even better if she were to tighten those legs and point her toes. Great job :)

@nastierlookin i think it was given a E rating if she didnt so the toe on than it would be a G

@mikalshort The user Mostepanovafan has a great video of bar release moves that should help you. Watching them would probably be much more helpful than me trying to explain it with words. :)

that was awesome. :D

[mikalshort]

whats the difference between and tkachev and a merinich, is it just the direction of the swing? like merinich is on the forward swing and tkachev is on the backward swing, or is there more to it?
