New Elements Submitted to the COP

Nine new elements have been submitted to the Women's Technical Committee for entrance in the Code of Points.

For the women, to get a skill named for you, it must be submitted to the technical committee and you must successfully complete the element at a World Championships or Olympic Games.

Here are the elements that have been submitted - keep in mind these have been submitted, they're not officially in the code yet.

Bars -

Tabea Alt -The "Alt" - proposed value - C

Description - A Zuchold Half -  Stoop through on high bar, dislocate and release with half (180 degree) turn in flight between the bars to catch low bar in hang

Floor

Rebecca Andrade - "The Andrade"** - Proposed Value G

Description -Double backward salto in tuck position with one and a half (540 degree) twist

**Rebecca has withdrawn from competition at Worlds due to a knee injury. I could not find a video of this skill, so I used the drawing from the FIG press release. Since she won't compete this element, it won't be included in the CoP. I decided to include it anyway, mostly just to cover all my bases.
