'I, for one, have never seen someone compete a front aerial kneeling like Cassie does.' AuburnGym
Cassie started doing her signature move when she was in seventh grade and competing in level nine of USA Gymnastics , well before she joined Auburn. She upgraded it from a front handspring to her knee , then added the swing-through entry when she graduated to level 10 in the eighth grade."This was the year that I qualified to the Junior Olympic National Championships and officially got it named after me," she said.
Connie Maloney, the technical director of USA Gymnastics's Junior Olympic program for women, confirmed that Cassie does in fact have a variation of a front aerial bearing her name. It's in the Junior Olympic Code of Points, the rulebook for the JO Optional program consisting of levels six through 10. The term used for it is"swing-through front aerial to land in a kneel/sit," and"Stevens" is listed in parentheses.
Connie told POPSUGAR via email that the requirements for naming a skill after a Junior Olympic gymnast are similar to those for elite gymnasts like Simone in the FIG Code of Points: it has to be done correctly at a major competition for the first time and must be at least a"C" value.
I, for one, have never seen someone compete a front aerial kneeling like Cassie does. She explained that the hardest part about doing her skill is that sometimes she'll take off crooked and her shin will land on the corner of the beam, which could cause some bruising. But, if she takes off straight, it doesn't hurt at all.
Cassie went on to say that she's done this skill for so long because she enjoys it and is consistent with her performance."I don't think I'll ever take it out of my routine," she said. Plus, she loves the skill so much that she also does it on floor . Ahead, check out a full beam routine from Cassie that features her one-of-a-kind flip: the Stevens.
