In this edition of Analyzing the Elites, we are heading over to the bars and taking a look at some incredible low-to-high and high-to-low combinations.

Thema Williams is an international elite gymnast from Trinidad and Tobago who came to the USA in 2013 to train at Twistars with distinguished coach John Geddert. In 2011, Williams made history by becoming the first female gymnast to represent Trinidad and Tobago at a World Championships, and now she is looking to be the first to represent her country at the Olympics.

There are loads of reasons for why gymnastics is such a fun sport to watch. Tough and seemingly impossible skills, high-flying tumbling and, let’s be honest, pretty leotards, are just a few. But aside from these reasons, nothing makes gymnastics more enjoyable to watch than when a gymnast performs with gorgeous artistry. These gymnasts truly feel their floor music as they’re performing, they look like ballerinas up on the beam, they perform unique elements to show off their flexibility, and their leaps and turns are not treated as requirements to be fulfilled in a routine.

26-year-old Iowa alum Houry Gebeshian competed at the 2015 World Championships in Glasgow, Scotland as an individual competitor for Armenia. After taking an early fall on beam, she came back and showed three very solid sets to score a 51.965. That landed her in 68th place out of the individual competitors, which was enough to qualify for the Rio test event, which was her main goal for Worlds. Success. But, Worlds is only the first stop on GebeshianÂ’s incredible journey back to gymnastics, as her eyes are laser-focused on a ticket to Rio 2016.
