224 ATHLETICS insufficient. There is no scissors kick, the push– away is not contributed to equally by both arms. Legs are not flexed prior to push-away, and therefore cannot assist it. The athlete does not face approach path at push-away and landing. This point should enable the coach to tell whether the balance of the athlete in the air has been correct or otherwise. Sketch 8 shows a perfectly balanced clearance. PRI:STED BY UNWIN BROTHERS, LW!TED 1 LONDON AND WOKIN0 1 GREAT BRITAIN
