Ok, I'm trying to prove to another coach that they are teaching sushinovas wrong. Can anyone find any links or videos online?

Thanks!

i'll have a look, but how are they teaching them?

They are teaching them to do a toe touch and land flat on their stomach with no weight bearing on the arms prior.

..... wouldnt that like.... HURT?!
The whole point of the arms is to cushion the fall....I'll have another look for a video

I have found 3 videos each from different angles, they are on my computer, but i think I will be able to find a link.. give me five minutes
Her you go: gymnastics.huntsman.utah.edu . . .
They are quite old routines (2004), but I had all of them on my comp. Rachel, Natalie and Gabriella all have shushonova's in their routines.

I imagine it hurts A LOT to do a shushinova with no weight bearing on arms, all i can say is OUCH !!!! and that i would never attempt it without putting my hands down to cushion it.

There's Shushunova doing it herself...you can't prove him wrong much better than her doing the move herself!! Hope this helps

How could you not bear any weight on your arms? :S Unless you were on a crashmat perhaps!
