I figured we could use a thread just for little points of curiosity that don't necessarily warrant their own individual threads.
I have a question to start. I don't watch a lot of MAG, but I've been watching the British Championships WAG/MAG AA extravaganza this morning, and I noticed that the men and women have very different hand placement in their roundoffs: the men reach well in front of their body with their second hand, whereas the women keep their hands more or less shoulder witdth apart, and close to square with the shoulders. Why the difference, and what are the mechanics of the two techniques in terms of generating power?
Speaking of the British Championships, I know they were a while back, but would anyone be interested in a leotard thread? They certainly didn't have the comedic value of the German championships, but there were some quite unique ones.
