In the past month or so, I’ve acquired (crazy cheap via ebay) and scoured well over 100 back issues* of International Gymnast, ranging from 1980-2002, although mostly from 1990-2001. Hence, tons of updates have been made throughout the site.
*Of course, as any good gymn fan, I already had a large collection of back issues myself – I just don’t know where they are at the moment…
In the meantime, a provisional copy of the 2013-2016 FIG Code for WAG has been “leaked.” You can download a copy for yourself here. Plenty of interesting changes, including some adjustments in difficulty value for Named skills:
Vault
- Chusovitina II (Hsp, layout Rudi) – lowered from 6.3 to 6.2
- Produnova – 7.1 to 7.0
- Amanar – 6.5 to 6.3
- Cheng – 6.5 to 6.4
Bars
- Shushunova – devalued from G to E
Floor
- Popa jump – raised from B to C
- Podkopayeva (Double front w. 1/2 out) – raised from E to F
- Silivas (Double-double) + Chusovitina (Full-twisting double layout) – both raised from G to H!
