NOTES:
1. Where possible, the link to the YouTube video is the first known routine where the element was competed. If that video isn't available (or there are quality/view issues), we've linked to another routine.

2. There are instances where the skill is named after one gymnast but different gymnast actually performed it first at a non-Worlds, Olympics, or other qualifying event. Where we are aware of those occurences, both gymnasts are listed.

3. There are also instances where a gymnast did perform the skill at a Worlds or Olympics but for whatever reason, the current Code of Points no longer has the element named for that gymnast (or maybe never did). When known, we've listed those gymnasts.

If the current Code of Points does not recognize a gymnast by having the element named after her, we rely on the historical knowledge of the gymnastics community to give credit for first performing it!

If you have any suggestions, corrections, or additions, please let us know by sending us an email at gymnstands@gmail.com.
