I think any of the half turn versions keep momentum going and aesthetically look the best, even with the common leg separation problems, ending in reg support makes it easier combine.
The piked Gaylord is very pretty to see, with excellent chances to keep legs together and have nice toe point, vs other versions, such as a full twisting Gaylord which seems like a hot mess, due to trying to get in all the twists and turns in such a quick way, almost all control is lost as to form and execution.
Ian's release goes under the bar, all Gaylord releases go over it. Also Ian's is done out of a backward giant, and the Gaylord releases out of a forward one.
So many built-in deductions on the leg positions. It's also hard to get around the bar without bent arms once you catch. The other option is to do that weird orphan turn/dead hang hybrid to change grips, which ruins the routine's momentum. I don't think the skill is worth it even with the upgrade.
All are these are amazing….im not gymnastics athlete but I love the sport. Question: Are women gymnastics allowed to perform these stunts? And also can someone compete in both rhythmic AND artistic professionally? Or do they have to choose only one?
On the uneven bars, you can’t get the powerful swing needed to do massive high bar style releases, because the low bar is in the way, also you aren’t allowed to pike your hips when swinging to create momentum. If a gymnast could somehow do these moves without the low bar getting in their way and while keeping their swing straight and elegant, they would be allowed to submit and perform them. There’s no rule against it, it’s just not physically possible. There’s no rules stopping somebody competing both rhythmic and artistic (in the old days, they used to be part of the same sport with rhythmic called “portable apparatus”), but they are both so time consuming and strenuous (especially rhythmic) that you could only realistically compete both at a very low level. If you wanted to be an actual athlete you’d have to specialise.
@@Victoria-iu5sbyes, I’d like to add to that. I’ve always seen such great answers on gymnastics channels, like people really want to pass their knowledge on. I was a gymnast in the 70’s but was more interested in trampoline of the 2 sports. It was very different then. I got as far as entering one gymnastics competition ! I love all the Gaylord skills and it looks impressive to see the men somersault over the high bar. Regarding the leg separation issue - would it be legal for a man to pin his trousers together at the ankles?
The Gaylord 1 has been competed by multiple women gymnasts. It's known as the Mo, named after Chinese great Mo Huilan, who performed it at the 1994 World Championships. I believe the most recent gymnast to compete it internationally was Yao Jinan at 2013 Worlds. The Mo is rated G in WAG (women's artistic gymnastics), which is tied for the highest difficulty of any skill on uneven bars, but it (along with most other G-rated bars skills) has become even more rare in modern gymnastics because the current rules really reward difficult connections instead of difficult individual skills, and those G-rated skills are almost impossible to connect with anything else.

It does look really smooth when performed well 👍🏼
The leg separation on the kudionov
Anyone know why the Gaylord straddle would be removed from the code? It doesn’t seem especially dangerous.
I want to know too
I was also wondering that 😊.
Ian Gunther does a release similar to the Gaylord. Are they the same release, or slightly different?
Ian does a counter hecht in the stretched position. Both forward saltos, but very different entry position.
Ian's release goes under the bar, all Gaylord releases go over it. Also Ian's is done out of a backward giant, and the Gaylord releases out of a forward one.
This is the year of the Gaylords
I'd love to see Ian Gunther do the Koudinev(sp?).

@ thank you very much for answering. I appreciate the detailed and thought out answer.

@ Thank you so much for answering me. The world of gymnastics is truly amazing
