US gymnast Chloe Lacoursiere recently posted a video of herself training a toe on full twisting Tkatchev on the uneven bars.
The bar release has never been done before in women's gymnastics.
A Tkatchev with a full twist is an element on the high bar in men's gymnastics. It is rated an F. It was originated by Soviet gymnast and the father of 2008 US Olympic all around champion Nastia Liukin, Valerie Liukin.
Lacoursiere was born in 2005 and is a Level 10 gymnast.
In order for an element to be added to the code of points and be named after the gymnast, it must be successfully competed at an FIG competition or the Olympic/Youth Olympic Games.
