    The amount of core strength and body control needed for these I just can't fathom!!

    My personal favourite is Iryna’s. The control and artistry displayed is sensational. I miss the days of the interesting mount. SO MUCH.

  • @dazem8
    @dazem8 Před 3 lety +27

    2 and 8 were my favorites. most coaches prefer simpler mounts nowadays because the risk of falling isn't worth the deductions since the point system is different than Olympics of the past.

    And the sadly underrated Vasiliki Tsavdaridou from Greece topping this incredible list! Love it, and i love this list!! It would have been easy to just list some of the most well-known beamers, but seeing Rankin, Garrison, etc was delightful. 💖🖤💖🖤

    The difference in muscle from the back in the day to now is crazy. It's amazing how some training has has changed and the differences are pretty obvious with women of today having more muscle on them. Even having longer careers now.

      Well it helps the connective tissue and structures (cartilage ligaments and tendons not to mention bones) are given proper nutrition and the girls and women aren't being starved either. Even though I know closer to meets they will be more careful about what they eat. Eating disorders (coming from a person who has battled and is currently battling anorexia because as a teen I was rejected by a boy who only liked skinny girls now I'm chronically ill and it's all about control because I have no control over what happens in the rest of my life except if I choose to eat.. I beat back this monster before but this time it has a hold and won't let go my hope is no person male or female ever chooses this for themselves because it's a terrible fight to win. When you compound it with body dysmorphia it's almost hopeless. That my story) will happen with or without these sports that require you to be strong and flexible to be one of the greats.

    A swing down is so much easier than a landed back full or Arabian. This list is interesting but I totally disagree with the order.

    • @intldawn
      @intldawn Před 4 lety +7

      Jay Petrova I’d agree that the order should be flipped but a Rufolva as a mount? I wouldn’t say that’s way easier than a full to your feet. Neither offers much room for error but that swing down, if you’re off even a little that’s going to be hella painful. But I’ve seen a couple of athletes do the Rufolva as a mount. I’m not sure I’ve seen anyone but Kelly do a full twist to the feet as a mount. Madness
