From sec 24.- handstand to 33.- the iron cross, that slow movement- what's the name ?

 

 

There was another video on Youtube with the same athlethe performing this movement many times in diferent competition but was deleted, too bad.

That's a Nakayama, a bounce to Iron Cross from Back Lever. Today you see most people lowering from Maltese into Back Lever, but how you go to the BL doesn't matter.

Today, it's a D.

That was kind of a blend between a HS lower down to maltese and an old school style nakayama; which performed that way back then was perfectly acceptable.  By today's standards he would either get no credit or incur heavy deductions for a failure to show both a solid maltese and a clean BL position prior to pulling up to the iron cross.
