2022 Women's Final Tumbling - World Championships Sofia, Bulgaria 

Exactly it needs to be. These gymnasts work hard and deserve to be acknowledged on the world stage.

Instead we have to put up with breakdancing and skateboarding...

Absolutely shocked that Shanice didn’t win with that tumbling pass, but to get a bronze was disgraceful! This is the 1st time I’ve ever seen this competition so I don’t know anything about it but I used to coach youth gymnastics so I know a little bit about the sport. I watched the men’s competition, and none of them were doing the twists that Shanice did, especially multiple ones. I feel 😢 for her.

wondering the same

Maybe because the Olympics doesn't have tumbling competitions?

Maybe because they don't see it as prestigious and therefore parents only want to sign them up for gymnastics which is deemed more prestigious in their eyes? But that's just a very white assumption so I hope a Chinese person van tell us why.

No medals. No glory.

China used to absolutely dominate women's tumbling from 2011-2018 (look up Jia Fangfang, she's an absolute legend) and were neck and neck with Russia in men's tumbling 2007-2018. They certainly have fallen the radar since the 2019 Worlds, though. I too would like to what happened.

You've seen cheerleaders throw multiple back somersaults in a pass in a sport where double backs are illegal? 🤔

@@KC12344325 yes, I've seem cheerleaders throw double backs. Just because they're illegal in competition doesn't mean they don't ever throw those passes.

@@cmw8216 I’ve seen cheerleaders throw double back tucks in exhibitions, but never double pikes, double layouts, or any single- or double-twisting double backs. I love cheer, but cheerleaders’ tumbling is nowhere near the level of elite power tumbling in terms of difficulty or execution.

@@KC12344325 I've seen cheerleaders throw triples on a similar tumble track. Granted form and placement is not a factor but they also haven't trained their whole lives to compete in tumbling either like these women. I've seen them throw double doubles. I've seen them throw doubles on a straight cheer mat. I think you are taking this a little too literal and personal. My point was, I expected to see more. That is all. I have both a cheer and gymnastics background so I'm not discounting the talent as I stated in my original post. I understand there is more to this sport than just throwing crazy passes. I expected to see passes like we see with the men, that is all
