About
A risky skill to attempt on beam, the double turn nonetheless gained a little popularity toward the middle of the 2010s with the rise in Dutch Spinderella beam routines and the success of those electing to squeeze out much of their difficulty score from dance elements and turn combinations. More often than not, it does seem to result in a wobble that negates its difficulty value, but those confident in turning have displayed just how useful it can be.

Because gymnastics is a comedy, not a drama
