About
Not to be confused with the Stalder shoot, where the gymnast releases the low bar and then counter-rotates to grab the high bar, in the Stalder hecht the gymnast will actually spend some time upside down. These hechts are all now worth a single letter value more than the shoot-to-high skills as of the 2017 code, but as they’re still just at C, it hasn’t exactly led to a run on the bank or many (any) gymnasts performing them.
This skill also has some fun code nonsense going on (and by fun, I mean horrible) because for some reason Irina Yarotska has been given named credit for the clear-hip version of this skill, which already existed when she was competing, instead of the Stalder version, which is the skill she actually originated.
