About
Let’s be honest, this thing is just a belly flop. But a cool belly flop. A fun belly flop. We love belly flop. Vasiliki Tsavdaridou may not have legendary status in terms of her results, but in terms of originality and developing the most interesting skills to get named after herself, she should be ranked right near the top.

Because the code of points is really good at its one job, it has screwed this element up entirely. In the 2017 update, the code mistakenly changed the skill that Tsavdaridou has named after herself from this one to the hop full to front support. Which is not correct. They fixed it the next time around.

Because gymnastics is a comedy, not a drama
