That Romania had two gymnasts with the same name - Aurelia Dobre. I've often wondered is this the Romanian version of a 'common' name Amy Smith?

Meanwhile, GB has one gymnast with the same two names: Grace Grace.

Does anyone know when the 1st 2 skills in this vid were competed successfully to get named? I have never seen a vid when either skills is landed properly

Me either. I have only seen Jonathon Horton at 2007 Winter Cup but it wasn’t in the official competition. FT triple tuck with a jump backward.

1) I’m trying to remember who did a pose on beam. Gymnast is in straddle sit (so presumably after a Korbut variation/roll to straddle sit etc) and then arches with one leg bent and one arm up. I expect a number of gymnasts have done something similar (though I have a silver leotard and sharp entry into pose in my head) so all variations welcome.

I don't know if this is it, but this is Zhao Shiting at the 2019 Melbourne World Cup.

I don’t remember watching that comp or that gymnast, but this is the exact pose I had in my head and even the leotard is silverish. Thank you very much!
