Comăneci salto

The Comăneci salto is a gymnastics manoeuvre on uneven bars, developed primarily by Nadia Comăneci and rated E (difficult, behind Super E).^[1] It is a dismount off the uneven bars with a half twist into a back somersault. To perform a Comăneci salto, the gymnast begins in a support position on the high bar and, casting away from it, performs a straddled front somersault and regrasps the same bar. In the 2006 FIG Code the Comăneci salto is still considered one the hardest manoeuvres and retained the E rate.^[2]
