Team gymnastics final is tonight, Americans are favored, as usual these days. You’ll be seeing a lot of moves go by in a blur, so in February we went to St. Paul to visit Suni Lee so we could shoot high-speed footage of a new and risky move she’s been working on. It’s so risky she may not do it tonight in the team competition. She may hold off until the individual competition or the apparatus final so the only risk is to herself. I you get a chance, check it out.
Here is a risky a risky beam mount that she may or may not use this week. Watch how still her head is when she’s upside down over the beam. Seems to defy gravity. Her coach told me that the centrifugal force of her legs keeps her head from falling down on the beam.
And from the end.
A few shots from the making of.
