Comăneci salto
Encyclopedia
The Comăneci salto is a gymnastics
manoeuvre on uneven bars, developed primarily by Nadia Comăneci
and rated E (difficult, behind Super E). It is a dismount off the uneven bars with a half twist into a back somersault. To perform a Comăneci salto, the gymnast begins in a support position on the high bar and, casting away from it, performs a straddled front somersault and regrasps the same bar. In the 2006 FIG
Code the Comăneci salto is still considered one the hardest manoeuvres and retained the E rate.
