About
After electing to perform just the single Y spin in qualification, Sugihara Aiko hit the double Y spin in the all-around final at the 2017 World Championship in Montreal to get it named for herself in the code of points. At E (0.5), it is tied for the most valuable turn that exists on beam. It’s difficulty value is reinforced by its rareness. No one wants to try this turn, even for that high value.

Because gymnastics is a comedy, not a drama
