About
This is actually a super-cool multi-directional skill, but one that is so slow and complicated that it feels like 18 separate skills—and no one’s ever going to do it again as a result. It’s one of those elements that would have fit in really well when routines were Agnes Keleti paced, but modern beam routines would need to have, say, a constant, deliberate rhythm or something to make this work sensibly.

Value
C

Because gymnastics is a comedy, not a drama
