Back to the basics of how to perform on the floor, vault, and especially the beam, the 2023 NCAA Regional Junior Qualifier flipped through the training to get a Perfect 10 on the 10 cm wide beam. While she juggles to learn and showcase to the audience publicly the beauty of aerial acrobatics, the NCAA Gymnastic budding athlete focuses more on delivering a good side aerial to target a perfect 10 on the beam. Introducing herself as a Junior (gymnast) and a Poli Sci major at Pittsburgh University, Hallie Copperwheat is a member of the collegiate NCAA gymnastics team. Demonstrating her proficiency in side aerial skills with graceful swings and flawless 360-degree flips on the beam, she expertly outlined the precise procedures for achieving a perfect 10 score. NCAA GYMNASTICS BUDDING ATHLETE’S JOURNEY TO ATTAIN A PERFECT 10 In an Instagram video shared by Pittsburgh’s official page, Copperwheat introduces herself and describes the first step on how to do a side aerial. She explained how to do a decent cartwheel and land gracefully upright post the wheel. She emphasized that a side aerial is also similar to doing that on the beam but without side hands. She defines her two cues that could define her game better. She says: “My two cues are to go long and fix my arms at the end.” Keeping her eyes glued to the beam her whole time, she exemplified her perfect side aerial [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympic-news-gymnastics-news-nfl-news-despite-brutal-loss-simone-biles-celebrates-jonathan-owens-career-stride-with-two-word-love-note/] which could score a perfect 10 doing the competitive sport display. Hallie Copperwheat, at the end of the video remarks to be positioned correctly as the beam is just 10cm wide, and during the real display, the pressure builds in quite well, to let go of the stability and flexibility. Foreseeing the upcoming match on the floor this season, she ends by saying, “We can’t wait to see you next week at the Field House.” CONCLUDING THE REGULAR SEASON ON SATURDAY NIGHT Pittsburgh Gymnastics will be concluding its regular season on the 8th of March 2024 in the Fitzgerald Field House for the season’s last home meet.

Unsure Gymnastics Future: “Everything Would End”

Gymnastics is a collection of physical exercises requiring a lot of strength, agility, balance, and flexibility. It is closely related to circus performing skills as athletes put their bodies to the fullest use. Likewise, there are various disciplines for gymnasts to showcase their talents. Thus, it evolved from ancient Greeks that included skills to mounting to dismounting a horse. The competitive form of gymnastics is called artistic gymnastics. It involves various events for women like the floor, vault, uneven bars, and the beam. For men, they have floor, vault, rings, pommel horse, parallel bars, and horizontal bars. Therefore, the sport is famous for its aesthetic values and the Olympics draws major crowds to the gymnastics arena.

<strong>Svetlana Khorkina:</strong>

With a total of 47 Olympic, World and European Championships medals, Svetlana Khorkina is a remarkable gymnast.
