Athletes from around the world are meeting in Sochi, Russia their living rooms to test their skills against the best of the best. It’s true – they’ve been training their whole lives to achieve the flair, athleticism and endurance necessary to achieve perfection in their flat-on-their-back and all legs in the air maneuver.

  1. Difficult to make a choice – even more difficult to stop laughing … but it HAS to be the Reverse Rotational Lift <3

  2. Definitely the “reverse rotational lift” The others are all definitely good, however if the contest is “best impression of a dead roach,” the tongue lol is the clincher 🙂

  3. I was going to go for the double toe loop but the open mouth, eyes open and rolled back and tongue out on the reverse rotational lift gets my vote for sure.

  4. Greyt moves! McTwist wins my vote with the Double Toe Loop 2nd. Of course, the Reverse Rotational Lift is the silliest and most likely to be seen at my house:)

  5. I really like the perfect form of the layback spin but I have to give my vote to double toe loop, that is some serious team work roaching!

  6. We like the “Double Toe Loop”, being that it appears to be a pairs event. They look fairly synchronized, which is a challenge in itself for pairs. Individual events ways have flair, but pairs take more skill to meet the judges requirement.

    Skill: 9.3
    Execution: 9.5
    Difficulty: 9.4
