About
The front handspring with full twist is a classic Mostepanova element, a main feature of her iconic 1983 routine, one of the greatest floor routines of all time from the greatest floor exercise world championship of all time. Some say. Some people. At random. Random people.

Mostepanova’s actual version featured the full twist before hand support, but now the skill is allowed to contain the full twist either before or after. I mean, if anyone were to do it, which they are absolutely not. Even though this skill does still retain a C (0.3) rating, hand-support elements are not eligible for connection bonus, so that means it’s much less valuable than other acrobatic Cs.
