Russian Circle Pommel Horse

Russian Circle

This Russian circle should start and finish in front support. There should be a 360º turn in one circle. It should be accomplished with 4 hand placements (or 2 hops). In the beginning, the first arm should reach forward to the third quarter. The second arm should then quickly reach under to the second quarter. At this point, the gymnast should conclude the ½ circle position with a half turn. The next half of the skill is the same as the first (the first arm should reach forward to the first quarter. The second arm then quickly reaches under to the fourth quarter) finishing the Russian in front support with a full turn. The Russian circle could start with a ¼ reverse stockli action (90º turn). If this is the case, then there would only be 270º of a wendeswing turn, finishing in front support with a total of a full turn.
