| Sep 7, 2021 at 23:07 | comment | added | Joe | @102152111 Interesting - is this an English speaking part of the world? Or maybe a translation difference? I looked about some, and can't find any US site that uses the other terminology - usagym.org/pages/gymnastics101/glossary.html for example uses handspring. (It uses "salto" for "flip", which is the technically correct term.). Somersault is commonly used as a synonym for flip or salto, so on that one we agree! | |
| Sep 7, 2021 at 23:01 | comment | added | Stevo | Ah, sorry for the confusion @Joe. In my place, as a gymnast, we call what you call a backhandspring a back flip, while we call what you call a back flip a back somersault. | |
| Sep 7, 2021 at 16:27 | comment | added | Joe | @102152111 Don't agree there - though maybe there are some regional terminology differences? A back flip in my experience is just what that link shows - standing, rotate backwards in the air 360 degrees, standing. I might misunderstand what you're describing, but that sounds like a back handspring? Or do you mean stops on their hands and doesn't go further (I don't know what that would be called)? | |

| Sep 7, 2021 at 7:45 | comment | added | Stevo | Its more usually called as a back somersault, not a backflip. A backflip is when a gymnast lands on their hands, not aerially. @mattsmith5 | |
