Mount

Known as
Straddle planche
Bent hips up to straddle planche

About
We will occasionally see a straddle planche used as a mount in modern elite gymnastics, but not typically this version that begins with a bent hip angle before rising to a straddle planche position. When we do see it, it’s a jump with stretched hips straight to the planche position, which also happens to be the more valuable of the two skills. Look how that worked out.
