When kids start gymnastic, no matter what type is it, the first rule they learn is "When your feet hit the ground don't let them move!" Of course it's much easier said than done!
The "stick" of a landing often sets an extraordinary routine apart from simply a good one, and when it comes down to the medal rounds of the Olympics or World Championships, sticking the dismount can mean winning the gold – or not.
Lets see incredible sticks throughout the years:
1º - Nastia Liukin, 2008 Olympic All-Around Finals
2º - Carly Oatterson, 2004 Olymoic All-Around Finals (Look at the dismount on the Beam)
3º - Fan Ye, 2003 World Championships All-Around Finals
4º - Beth Tweddle, 2006 World Bar Finals
Look at that and tell me! Dimount make a good rountine into a perfect rountine.
