About
Jacqui Dunn got the Arabian walkover mount named after herself at the 1999 World Championship in Tianjin, a skill more typically known as the Onodi mount because it’s an Onodi…as a mount.
This skill received one of the fastest and more dramatic value increases in gymnastics, going from a D (0.4) in 2012 all the way up to an F (0.6) in 2017. This is pretty unusual, both in terms of getting upgraded in two consecutive code editions, and in terms of being valued so much higher than the Onodi on the beam itself, which remains a D. It is the only mount in the code of points at F or G value that includes the relative safety of hand support.
This value hasn’t turned into popularity as the Dunn remains super rare, probably because of hard or something.
