Assessment: Not Allowing Warm-ups 'clearly So Dangerous' For Gymnasts 메이저사이트

TOKYO — The International Gymnastics Federation will get somebody killed. 

Gymnasts, mentors – anybody with any presence of mind, truly – are asking by and by for what valid reason the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) forbids warm-ups before occasion finals. They're fine during qualifying. They're fine for the group rivalry. Also, they're fine for the overall last. 

However during occasion finals, when gymnasts are breaking out their greatest and most hazardous abilities, the FIG is making them go in cold. Plainly, in light of Russia's Angelina Melnikova blowing on her hands Sunday night and China's Lu Yufei and Fan Yilin wearing huge, puffy coats. 

"That standard is so moronic and it's clearly so risky on the grounds that you don't will go on the occasion before you will contend. Which truly sucks," new Olympic all-around champion Suni Lee said in the wake of winning a bronze award on lopsided bars Sunday. "That is only sort of unreasonable. It sucks for everyone (similarly), except I think we merit it."

For those new, except for occasion finals, gymnasts are offered time to heat up on every contraption before they contend. It's known as a "one touch," and it's 30 seconds on most occasions, and 50 seconds on lopsided bars and equal bars. The ladies get a few endeavors on vault. 

There are a few explanations behind this. To begin with, duh. Competitors need to heat up prior to contending, regardless of whether it's a quarterback tossing uninvolved or a reliever throwing a couple of pitchers on the hill. 

Second, at significant contests like the Olympics and big showdowns, gymnasts contend on a platform. Gear feels and responds contrastingly when it's on a raised stage than when it's on level ground, and gymnasts need time to conform to that. 

For the most part, notwithstanding, it's about security. The abilities tip top level gymnasts are doing these days are hard to such an extent that to do them whenever they haven't got an opportunity to heat up and figure out the hardware would request somebody to get harmed. Or then again more regrettable. 

Story proceeds 

Yet, the FIG chose in the mid 2000s that warm-ups aren't required for occasion finals – regardless of this being the period of the opposition where gymnasts move forward their trouble in order to win an award. The gymnasts in the last are presented and, when that finishes up, the principal individual up must be prepared go. 

As the first up on lopsided bars, Lee couldn't wear her warm-ups during introductions since she wouldn't have had the opportunity to take them off. 

"Truly, sort it out and give them a one touch," Chellsie Memmel, the 2005 best on the planet and an individual from the U.S. Group that won silver at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, said on Twitter. "Competitor wellbeing is plainly not your main concern in occasion finals. It ought to be." 

Gymnasts and mentors have been protesting about the no-contact rule since it was organized in the mid 2000s. In any case, it's stood out enough to be noticed at the Tokyo Olympics in light of the fact that Simone Biles' withdrawal during the group contest brought the actual dangers of the game into more honed center. 

Gotten some information about the downpour of analysis that followed Sunday's occasion finals, which were set apart by various falls and startling minutes that might have been the aftereffect of no warm-ups, the FIG said it "takes properly note of this solicitation made by the gymnasts." 

"The competitors' security is a flat out need for the FIG and the point will be brought to the consideration of the Executive Committee for thought," the FIG said in a proclamation. 

It should be more than thought of. It should be finished. 

Presently. 

The "no-contact" warm-ups were essential for past FIG president Bruno Grandi's rule of dread, yet one more "advancement" that has just served to harm the game. Dumping the 10.0 scoring framework? Consistently contracting groups? The silly passing framework for Tokyo that no one comprehended? His thoughts, as well. 

Grandi probably said the "no touch" was on the grounds that it was better for telecasters, who didn't need slack time with three and four occasion finals every day. But then, the awards functions they're holding after every last in Tokyo, alongside the time expected to set up and take photographs after, are fine! Fine and dandy! 

"After today I trust that the (FIG) acknowledges how significant the touch warm-up is for the wellbeing and prosperity of the competitors!" Cecile Landi, who addressed France at the 1996 Olympics and presently mentors Biles with her better half, Laurent, said on Twitter. "And furthermore would we be able to do the honors at the end so they don't stand by considerably more than they ought to contend." 

Competitors sweat and penance for quite a long time to be at their best at the Olympics and big showdowns. It's not all that much to ask that the FIG not impede that.
