Quick Chat With Ivana Hong
Actually, during the 2007 nationals, Tim Dagget slipped some actual educational content into the broadcast by saying Hong was really doing just a straddle back. Martha was able to get Hongs technique for this skill valued the same as Tezas technique but she couldnt make the judges ignore the amplitude deductions. So Hong no longer does her german giants to straddle cut release skill. Ivanas double new double front on floor is really great.
