About
The version of this skill with release of one hand to swing down spent a significant chunk of time (2006-2024) being named after Li Yifang in the code of points despite the fact that she never did it. Full breakdown of that whole mess here.

As for the version lowering to planche or V-sit, there is perhaps no better representation of the death of the handstand and the death of strength elements in modern beam routines than this skill, which is an incredibly useful D (0.4) element yet completely extinct because no one is going to bother with that whole deal.
