About
OK so here’s the thing. This skill is attributed to Krystyna Sankova from when she performed it at the 2013 World Championship in Antwerp. But this switch 1/2 to ring was successfully performed by four different gymnasts at that very world championship: Sankova, Farida Shokry (EGY), Gaelle Mys (BEL), and Angelina Kysla (later Radivilova) (UKR).

By the rules of the time, it should have been awarded to none of them because it was performed by more than one gymnast at the naming event. But Sankova is the winner I guess?

Because gymnastics is a comedy, not a drama
