FAHRIG as SUPER G - The gymnastics vocabulary is a word richer!

Last German gymnastics innovation 22 years ago
In 1988 at the Olympic Games in Seoul it was the gymnast Sven Tippelt from Leipzig (GDR) the last German, whose creative element was acknowledged as a new world gymnastics element and the "TIPPELT" on the pommel horse was taken up as a conventional expression in the gymnastics language, which in dry German is formulated like this: : "Straddle flare (Thomas) through the handstand, with swing into the Thomas").

SUPER 'G'  in artistic gymnastics!
At the moment there are only 3 "G"-elements in floor gymnastics - the highest difficulty of all categories, and now German athletes have managed two of these (!):
* Matthias Fahrig, with the recently acknowledged creation double-twist, 1 1/2 twists, tucked ( >> "Fahrig-Salto"  Tokyo 2010  (youtube) and
* Marcel Nguyen, with his Tripple Tsukahara (double salto tucked with 3 twists)
... the third, "century "G" element" is the legendary tripple salto bkw. tucked by Valeri Ljukin  at the 1987 European Championship in Moscow....

German men's "gymastics patent"
Not that there weren´t many German gymnasts and trainers, which attempted new things, but not all creations were officially acknowledged and given a name - such as that of the inventor, in the gymnastics language.
To be exact there have been 11 German gymnasts until now, whose name-giving, have caused a "wow-reaction" especially in expert groups:

* On the floor ...
- the "FAHRIG"-Salto,  so now  Matthias Fahrig (SV Halle) as the number 12 German gymnast has been taken up into this illustrous circle, even if he will also show this element in October at the World Championships 2010 in Rotterdam...;

* On the rings
-the "KOESTE", - uprise bkw. and salto bkw. tucked, demonstrated by  Klaus Köste (GDR / SC DHfK Leipzig), at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich;
- the "FISCHER", double salto fw., tucked with 1 1/2 twists, demonstrated by Jens Fischer (GDR / SC Cottbus) at the so called  "Competions of Friendship", 1984, the "Olympic replacement Games" in the times of the Olympic boycot of the former socialist states in the Czech city of Olomouc;

* On vault:
