About
This mount is a later-era Zamolodchikova piece. It did not find its way into her routines until 2004, and it was gone after 2005. See ya later, this is hard.
There’s some question about whether you can truly call this a flic flac with full twist (as the skill description requires), since what Zamolodchikova did most of the time was a flic flac with 1/2 turn, then to 1/2 turn on the beam, then to hip circle. In some instances, there was more of a full turn than in others. Ideally, the entire full twist would be completed in the air before grabbing the beam, which is how Aleftina Priakhina performed it in the 1980s, though she was never able to get it named after herself.
