The correct answer here depends on your probability estimate for injury for other people.
If even attempting this move is likely to seriously injure other gymnasts, then banning it would make sense. Sports are just a game.
If its actually unlikely olympic gymnasts would be injured trying it, then just let her do it, who cares, its just a game.
- djohnston 5y ago"just a game " that should be fair. If she's dominating the competition the score should reflect that. It's not on her to be tame for her less competitive peers.
- cm2012 5y agoTheoretically, would any number of broken necks of other olympian gymnasts change your mind here?
- sangnoir 5y agoAre they incapable of practicing safely? A lot of "pedestrian" gymnastic moves can break a neck when executed poorly - but I don't see them banning the summersault. An important component of athleticism is exercising good judgement.
- cm2012 5y agoSo you agree with me but believe the probability is low. That's fine.
