The Thomas salto is banned because Elena Mukhina did it, she fell on her neck, became quadraplegic and died in 2006 due to complications to her injury.
@@SunnyNadina she told her coach that she wasn't ready! She was actually training and competing with an injured foot, but the pressure of the Olympic committee over her as she was a promising winner was more valid for everyone than her own voice saying I don't feel safe doing this! It's really sad! The whole system failed her from her coach all above to the Olympic committee. Awful... they didn't even take care of her after the injury... she spent the rest of her life without any medical or financial support from the authorities! She went from STAR to forgotten.
The reason the UB skills that involve standing on the high bar are banned is because UB routines now require that there is no break in momentum. Apparently standing on low bar doesn't disrupt the flow but standing on high bar does. 😕
They didn't even wait THAT long to execute the skill either. Of all of the skills I've seen where they stand on the high bar to do a skill, I've seen only one where she took the time to stand there, put both arms up and then go.
I believe that was the reason for them getting banned. They don't want standing/sitting on the bars. But standing on the low bar (doing a squat on transition) does get a big deduction in elite level
The girl at 5:30 became a quadriplegic after being injured doing a rollout during her floor routine. She would later die from complications from her injuries.
@@israelvargas4871 she's Elena Mukhina. The Korbut with a full twist on bars is named after her. She was injured training a roll-out (Thomas salto) on floor.
I never thought about banning gymnastics moves. I figured maybe if they were too dangerous to perform, then the gymnast wouldn't be able to train it all those times leading up to the competition. Also seeing that triple off the vault is weird because I've always wondered why they seem to have a sort of cap on the skills, - namely how you never see triples - but seeing him get so high and still barely land shows why.
"That girl that does the handspring double front" - Yelena Prodounova, and she does get insane height. Everyone else I've seen doing the Prodounova vault (AKA "The Vault of Death") is close to landing on their arse, but Prodounova herself is still mid-air when she's finished her second rotation.
I would like to see a reaction video with Niall and Emily reacting to American cheerleading competitions. Some of the stunts that those cheerleaders do are insane
Yeah, the Thomas salto makes me clench seeing it, too. o_O That thing is terrifying. I think there was a Soviet gymnast who either got killed doing it or very nearly.
It's so weird coming from a layman's perspective to realize how bloody dangerous gymnastics are. I have basic emergency medical training and the stuff here made me itch for a stiffneck and a vacuum stretcher...
In teamgym (which is what I know about) triple fronts are only allowed if you do a half twist so you don't have a blind landing. I've never really seen anybody do a triple front off of the vault tho.
Gymnastics,: You can't do summersaults from bars Freerunners: Hold my chalk Gymnastics: You can't flip sideways Freerunners: You having a laugh? Does side pre to bar 2m high.
Funny thing is, Epke Zonderland actually did the one arm thing on accident once, when it was already banned. He slipped off with one hand and rotated with just the other. Still got third in the tournament if I recall correctly because of it, otherwise he would have fallen of, wich is a 'big mistake', the arm slipping off is just a 'small mistake'. Edit, this is what I meant: th-cam.com/video/FkRAvV7mnXQ/w-d-xo.html
Actually, it would be great if you guys could talk louder, or at least find a way to make the volume of the videos more consistent. it starts great and then you guys slowly deflate and by the halfway point I can barely understand what the hell you're saying, especially with the background music. Still love the banter, though, just wish it didn't sound like "mhermh? grherstfh" most of the time.
See, Nellie Kim could perform on the bars. Yelena’s Korbut twist is awesome. And not a Nadia routine in sight , proving that her routines were fairly easy
From the wiki: However, due to the potential danger of associated injuries to gymnasts with the training and/or competing of this skill, the FIG has since officially banned it from competition after the Olympics and removed it from the next 2017-2020 Code of Points for men's artistic gymnastics. You have to rotate so much that you're pretty likely to under rotate while training/competing it and break/injure your back or neck.
They didn’t want anyone to risk it. They were even trying to discourage Igor from attempting it prior to the games, but he had the right to and still went for it. The skill is so easy to get seriously hurt on and it’s a blind landing. Igor was probably the only person who was even close to making it and he was leagues better than most vaulters with double fronts.
It’s amazing how difficult it is for me-an American-to understand what is said on this channel and particularly this video. It’s hard to believe it’s the English language at times. Nike can be harder too understand than a Scot at times.
Is the Wilsonator club geared primarily towards gymnasts or do you have an arial/contortion program with Emily? Would love to sign up and learn from her but I'm no great shakes at acrobatics!
2:18 I feel like this would be relatively easy because it's kind of just like under-extending a back handspring. That hip bounce straddle thing though.....no. I feel like that would end your reproductive system LOL.
I've done korbut flips before. It's quite difficult getting the flip distance just right so you can grab the bar and swing from it properly. It's not particularly dangerous reall though...you'd have to backflip in place to have a risk of hitting your head on the bar.

Niles face: Mistakes have been made
But I'm stil waiting for him to try hahaha
The Thomas salto is banned because Elena Mukhina did it, she fell on her neck, became quadraplegic and died in 2006 due to complications to her injury.
She had her accident in 1980 the Thomas Slato was still performed in women's competitions in 1992.
She fell on her chin so she REALLY under rotated it badly
Elena Mukina was rendered instantly quadraplegic when she under rotated the Thomas Salto. She's the one that made the Mukina flip.
Wow. I searched her up. What a sad story :'(
I know... :'(
Her story is heartbreaking!

Glad these are banned to be honest. Proper watching and hiding behind my hands. Of course there's risk in all sport but let's be smart about it.
Oh my god the Korbut flip!!! She was such an incredible gymnast- the darling of Munich
Emily's face at the siblings=priceless!

Yeah Elena mukhina
The girl that did that got quadriplegic and then died from complications from that
It should be banned for guys too.
Emily's face during whole vid: "Three is a crowd". She's right!
Yea I felt kinda bad for her during this moment lol.
she was only there for views...
That’s his sister tho??
Emily's face this entire video, she looks so done 😂
It's so weird coming from a layman's perspective to realize how bloody dangerous gymnastics are. I have basic emergency medical training and the stuff here made me itch for a stiffneck and a vacuum stretcher...
I love your comment!
this guys personality reminds me of my coach and his dad reminds me of my grandad love your channel man
Emily is soo cute with you ! Keep her she's special
I love y’all three together!
The one thing I think is funny is, sometimes I can't understand what they are saying because of their accent. If you think so like this.
Yaaassss these are making my lockdown better x
Exactly
Same!
Woah ok cheers nile my headphones have now deafened me lol

@5:10 ish - Joanna - "It's like a little donky dunk" (or donky bonk?) - i just about spit out my drink, for realsies!
I was waiting for a scene to see Nile attempt it
I used to compete the Thomas on floor. I did both tucked and laid out. Laid out one was sketchy, but never had an issue with the tucked one.
Sorry did she say she doesnt get period cramps!?!?!?
What the heck? I literally faint and vomit once a month because the pain is so bad for me
I don't get them either fortunately, I feel so bad for everyone that does!
apparently most people dont or only get mild ones, idk how thats possible
@@elizabethharris6427 I guess I take the pain for you then, lol
She says she doesn’t have periods either she might have pcos or something similar
Yeah, it is actually not normal to get severe pain. I used to. Perhaps worth investigating endometriosis or similar.
15% of the video = gymnastics
85% of the video = talking 😂
I love all the content you post on this channel
Hi Nile you did a zoom call with my gymnastics club about lockdown I go to twist and splits!
I need subtitles 😂🤣
A Lamborghini ad came on right before this vid. Moving up in the world, are we, Nile? 😎😉
New slogan for ya, "Flip for Fitness"
Girl that does double front was Yelena Prodounova and Deepa Karmakar has recently been doing it in comps
Olga Korbut was a goddess on bars
Nice to see you all 3 together.
What is with the SHOUTIIIIIIING!😂I watch TH-cam to relax.
Any kind of roll out is fucking terrifying. Who would invent that, especially back in the day of hard floors. Fuck that
the first two minutes of this video really... sends me to another dimention
Loved your collaboration Nile
one minute in and still cant understand a word he has said......
I was lost way before that!
I sometimes have to turn on closed captioning......LOL
backflip into the subscribe now has a backflip... i love it
At the beginning I couldn't figure out why his accent sounded extra thick. Then I realized he was eating gummy candy.
Gymnastics,: You can't do summersaults from bars
Freerunners: Hold my chalk
Gymnastics: You can't flip sideways
Freerunners: You having a laugh? Does side pre to bar 2m high.
So the handspring triple front is technically 4 flips?
Wow
I gotta say, I only understand about 60% of the dialogue in your vids lol
What im hearing is that they were soooo much more badass before technology

Why are beam skills to a front support banned?
Simone Biles is currently training a double pike vault!

When ever i herd thomas salto i was like Tomas is my name
They need to ban every move where the head is at any point pointing downwards.
See, Nellie Kim could perform on the bars.
Yelena’s Korbut twist is awesome.
And not a Nadia routine in sight , proving that her routines were fairly easy
Or maybe not stupid
Don't expect people not to challenge your cool move statements :D
Nile trying to do the intro
Emily is in the background speaking gibberish
What, you're telling me they banned Igor Radivilov? hahahaha It's so hard to tell a triple front from a double front off vault
Joanna just not letting Emily speak
she's her sister's brother
I hope you are all safe and well in Lockdown🥰 Stay safe and focus on your health... and also I would never be able to do this🤣😂
I love these videos
I met Kurt Thomas when I was a kid
Can someone tell me why was the Igor 3x somersault banned? It seems that with practice it could be doable in the future?

Inspirational athleticism! Also liked the back flip on the Subscribe button.
im stuck on the fact that joanna doesnt have a period
Could be her birth control..some women are very lucky with it
It's actually pretty common on certain types of hormonal contraception, I had the same when I was on the pill for like 4 years.
I have used the Mirena IUD for 8 years and haven't had an period the entire time. It's amazing!!!
I have endometriosis so I take birth control to prevent myself from getting my period. It's pretty neat 😂
Probably a conversation for a vlog haha
where's the Korbut flip?
It’s amazing how difficult it is for me-an American-to understand what is said on this channel and particularly this video. It’s hard to believe it’s the English language at times. Nike can be harder too understand than a Scot at times.
Wait... Did he say "ridonculous"? 😂

Well, If you need to protect the sportlers/gymnasts then it is necessary to ban these moves
The sideflip
I need subtitles.
Völlig geisteskrank 😂 Grüße aus Deutschland 😉
I love Percy Pigs 🐷 they are my favourite sweets.
That first one looks like a skill where you could easily lose your gonads as a male gymnast ;)
What language is that one in the middle speaking? Are his teef in upside down? Or is his tongue inside out?
It’s English.
In my opinion the first one is the worst. Look how she slammed her back at the bar...
Step away from the sugar nile...
Have a look at trampolining and DMT!! A lot of people want DMT in the olympics... But it isn't big enough!!
I tried to watch this but after watching them sit and talk for close to 2 minutes, I gave up.
your infobox has a typo, it sais "join the wisonator club" so you're missing an L😘
I’m not trying to be rude but I can only understand half of what they’re saying because of their accents!! Lol
website doesn't work btw
Me nose is stil breuken
Did Joanna say she doesn’t get a period or period pains!!

I would join your club but want way to much personal, information!!!
Did Niles sister say she doesn’t have periods or stomach cramps? She must b joking cause she is a teen.
Interesting.
the sister needs to stop talking over him while he's explaining....
Those Percy Pigs 🤘
did they ban shampoo as well?
Where is that accent from?
Lol trickers, parkour athelets and breakdancers will laugh some of these off.
I miss Ash
Let’s go
Emily’s socks
Elena Mukhina forever
Nile’s girls
