Dismounting to the side of the beam — instead of at the end — was common until the early 2000s. Gymnasts often used gainer elements — like double twists — even performed in combination at times. However, as the sport evolved and its level of difficulty increased, gymnasts were forced to step up their game and there was simply no room left for such skills.

Gymnasts: Svetlana Khorkina, Ashley Kelly, Ling Jie and Kristen Maloney.
