Switch Leg BHS

Is this contemplated in the code? I can’t even tell whether it’s much harder than the regular bhs

I love it because it’s so aesthetic!

I saw this full video somewhere and it identified the gymnast. Her name is escaping me, but her full routine was wicked interesting.

I believe it’s given the same value as a regular BHS. It’s really not harder at all IMO, especially compared to a regular gainer BHS with no switch leg.

This is Varvara Zubova–she won beam EF at Russian Cup w this.I’m pretty sure this is C + C + C for .3 CV. The switch leg bhs is a C if I recall correctly and it can be repeated for SB just as any other FF or LOSO

 

[MaryClare]

It’s Varvara Zubova

 

[Caledi]

Which element is it in the COP? I only see 5.202 BHS two-feet, 5.204 BHS stepout, and 5.206 gainer BHS (all Bs). I would be surprised if it were a C since switching legs is definitely not harder than doing two feet, but I guess it wouldn’t be the craziest thing the FIG has ever done.

@YurchenkoLoop @Caledi
I don’t see this element in the code. The FRONT handspring with leg change is in the code, and it’s a C, but the BHS is not.

It’s a cool element.

 

[Doug1233]

I do think a B is more appropriate than C.

 

[irichluck21]

Thank you! I knew it was someone current but the name escaped me!

 

[MaryClare]

It’s an odd situation. I believe she’s not currently on even the reserve national team…

 

[Doug1233]

Wasn’t a one arm BHS a C in the Athens Code? So One arm BHS to LOSO got both your Acro EGR and a tenth in bonus?

 

[onodian]

Yes this is correct. The Romanians really milked that too

 

[Doug1233]

The Romanians really milked that too

As I would!

Please bitch you’d be off on the first split leap. You wouldn’t ever get to the 1-handed bhs

 

[Doug1233]

Split Leap? No sir. I’ll be doing this:

 

[onodian]

The question is, would you give yourself 0.3s for body shape? And would you revel in it as much as you usually do?

 

[Doug1233]

Oh, I’d be getting 5s. The question is whether D panel would credit.
