today was a great day for me as a beginner gymnast. In milan there was a gymnastic workshop where the teacher was Matteo Morandi. with great surprise (i was here only to help him in assisting participants)

he used me to teach some movements while i was demonstrating them (i.e. str planche, pullup, handstand) and was a great opportunity to learn the details that are so important for an olympic gymnast.

 

i notice from his teaching an impressive attention for the mobility of shoulders and for the legs. he has big muscles but is so flexible. he can do dislocation about 2-3 cm more then shoulders distance, wall hs with hands at 2 cm from the wall etc.

 

his preparation and strength is so amazing...at the end of the workshop he said ,under our request

, "i'll show you something on rings, but i don't have time to warm up". seriously he didn't any type of warm up, he jumped on the rings and then...

Actually i'm training in Verona until the last week of may, then the course is ended for summer period and will restart in august..
