Russian gymnast Elena Gerasimova is adding a full twisting Pak Salto to her uneven bars routine.

The element is rated an E. It was named after American gymnast Mohini Bhardwaj, who was part of the 2004 US Olympic silver medalist team.

In 2021, Gerasimova was selected to represent the Russian Olympic Committee at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. She competed as an individual gymnast there along side teammate Anastasia Ilyankova.

The 17 year old gymnast competed this month at the Russian championships, where she won the title on the balance beam.
