About
Much like the cat leap with two turns, the tuck jump with two turns had a real moment in the 2004 Olympic cycle when it was a D (0.4) value and everyone was throwing this thing into routines. The world got sick of it, and in the 2006 update to the open code, it was smashed all the way down to a B (0.2) and became useless.

There is another version of this skill, taken to front support, which Russia’s Natalia Ziganshina got credited at the 2001 World Championships in Ghent. Actually, it was credited to “Ziganshiva.” Great work. In the 2009 update to the code of points, she got the big old NOPE from the code of points and her name was removed.

In 2013, both versions of this skill were upgraded back to C, so it really could be restored to Ziganshina since it meets the criteria for naming of being at least C value.

Because gymnastics is a comedy, not a drama
