About
In 2018, Romania’s Iulia Berar took advantage of a new provision allowing elements to be named at events outside of the very major competitions like Olympics and world championships. She performed the double turn with her leg held behind her at the Baku qualifier for the Youth Olympic Games, which counted as a real meet now, so this skill is the Berar.

Everyone is a little surprised that Catalina Ponor didn’t file a lawsuit about it because she did perform this turn at the European Championship back in 2006.

Because gymnastics is a comedy, not a drama
