About
Gymnastics typically abhors a sideward landing but will allow it in the case of a single, simple salto. It’s still not a hugely popular choice. Probably because what a fun and elegant shape.
Why do we call this a side somi but nothing else a somi ever under any circumstances? Only the fates know.
