About
Like the Preziosa, the Galante is another Italian turn of the 2012 quad that never really caught on with the general public. It’s quite difficulty to control those 1.5 turns on beam, and most gymnasts doing difficult turns are going to favor the equivalently valued double spin.

Value
D

Because gymnastics is a comedy, not a drama
