About
Yvonne Tousek got this element named after herself at the 1999 world championship—definitely not the first person to attempt it but as far as I can tell legitimately the first to do it at a name-able competition. It’s not a popular skill, but with the skyrocketing popularity of side dance elements on beam for extra tenths, I could see a particularly stan-able daredevil trying to do this element connected into a straddle jump 1/2 for 0.2 CV.
