Flip-Flop
Advice!
LI Shanshan of China is
really good on balance
beam, and all young gymnasts can learn something
from this photo of her. Li’s
hands are almost ready to
land on the beam, and she
has positioned her left hand
behind her right. That’s
because her left leg will land
on the beam first. If she
reversed the position of her
hands, it would be more difficult to step down on the left
leg without wobbling. See if
this tip helps the next time
you try a flip-flop on beam!
