About
Sanne Wevers got the L turn double named after herself at her home-nation world championship in 2010 in Rotterdam, though she had been performing it since she debuted as a senior elite in 2007 and spent the next nearly two decades perfecting it as the signature element of her turn-revolution beam routine.

It is tied for the most difficult turn that currently exists on beam (along with the Okino, Sugihara, and Mitchell) at a very juicy E (0.5) value, but that juicy value has not exactly made it a popular composition choice because it’s just too hard for most people who are not a Wevers.

Because gymnastics is a comedy, not a drama
