The following is a news clip in danish about the danish ex-elite gymnast Kasper Fardan. He is probably most famous for his triple piked back salto dismount from highbar. The interesting thing is that this guy is now, (well this is a couple of years ago) elite powerlifter and has already won the danish nationals in the -75kg weight class for bench press. In the first videoclip he talks about how he is expecting to be between top 5 and 10 in his first world champs in bench. He attributes a lot of his strength to gymnastics so this is just another 'tribute' to gymnastics training. Now just imagine Coach's athletes instead :twisted: :twisted:

Here a news clip in Danish showing some training clips.
