It gives me immense pleasure to present the January, 2016 issue of "Indian Gymnast". Lot of development are taking place in the 'Difficulty Factor' of Gymnastics. Lot many new skills have been invented and are performed in each International Competition. The first Article by Steve Butcher, President Men's Technical Committee of the FIG, gives the details of the New Elements with illustration of each, inducted in Men Artistic Gymnastics. One of the problems each gymnast has to face is the injuries. Ankle sprain is one of the common injuries in Gymnastics. The next article by Ryan Harber deals with the rehabilitation of the Ankle sprain. Ryan Harber has described the procedure of rehabilitation of the Ankle Sprain with photographs. One of the Common elements on Horizontal bar and Uneven bars is Stalder shoot to handstand. All most all the elite Indian Men Gymnasts perform this skill in their Routine. But there is not even a single Indian women gymnast who has performed this skill in her Routine in any National Level Competition. In the next article, Dr.Debnath has elaborated the Technique and procedure of teaching Stalder to handstand on Uneven Bars. Prof. Istvan Karacsony, in his article, "History of Development of Floor Exercises". has briefly described the origin of Some skills on Floor, who were the inventors of those skills, when these Elements were first performed, the names of the World Champions on Floor and the names of the Olympic Champions on Floor. The year, 2015, witnessed the most important Gymnastics Competition of the year, The 46th World Artistic Gymnastics, at Glasgow, which was the First qualifying competition for the 2016 Rio Olympics and for the Rio Olympics Test Event. Lot of ups and downs was seen in this Competition. Dr. Bawa, in his article, has elaborated the many ups and downs and salient features of the 46th World Artistic Gymnastics.
