NGJA Examples for the Interpretations of
the Wu on Pommel Horse as a result of the
new interpretations of F.I.G. Newsletter 21
From Newsletter 21
A specification is necessary regarding Wu Guonian technical execution. Due to the
fact that Wu Guonian represent a 3/3 travel with 720° Russian Wende swing turn,
the gymnast must finish 360° turn travelling to between pommels, and the rest of
360° turn travelling until the element is finished in support at the end of the horse. If
the gymnast is executing the full travel with only 360° turn, and he is continuing with
the rest of 360° turn during his support at the end of the horse, will be considered as
two elements: a Roth (3/3 travel with 1/1 Russian Wende swing), and a 1/1 Russian
Wende swing, with the respective appropriate values.

The video on this page will help to explain the implementation of the requirements of the F.I.G. for evaluating the Wu on Pommel Horse for an "E", especially as opposed to the Roth which receives a "C" value.
