Australian gymnast Georgia Godwin has had a move on the uneven bars ratified as an official points-scoring skill. An off-the-cuff suggestion on social media inspired Georgia Godwin to devise and execute a complex never-seen-before move. The “Godwin” was ratified this week, meaning it is now an official building block for routines on the uneven bar.
Australian gymnast Georgia Godwin has had a move on the uneven bars ratified as an official points-scoring skill. An off-the-cuff suggestion on social media inspired Georgia Godwin to devise and execute a complex never-seen-before move. The notification popped up in the Instagram account of Georgia Godwin , Australia’s best gymnast.
The comment from a follower midway through last year, on a video of her completing the difficult “Weiler” move on the uneven bars, made her think – why not add an extra rotation? That thought, and hundreds of hours in the gym, has led the Queensland athlete to a place in the official rule book of world gymnastics. The “Godwin” was ratified this week, meaning it is now an official building block for routines on the uneven bar. Judges will mark it, and other gymnasts will aspire to it. “It was just an off-the-cuff comment on one of her posts, that we had a bit of a laugh at,” says Godwin’s coach, Josh Fabian
