And yet back in 2012 many people talked about Gabby's ring leap being better than most, because the requirements on it were very different that code. Foot height in relation to head and back arch vs. head release are two of the biggest changes the code has made over the years.
Also, as Mary Clare notes, there's a difference between head/shoulder release (upper back flexibility) and lower back arch that is very much not differentiated in the code, but does result in or from very different techniques. The more traditional ring position used the former, thus the ring name, it makes a much more rounded and less flattened shape.
