Hi!

Does anyone know if there is a PV-Conference/symposium coming up in Europe this year?

Thanks Tom! You are right, he is pulling with his top arm. That is one of the reasons he stops the rotation. Altius pointed at the late pole drop and low left arm - which, among, has a negative effect on the top end. We have had a few sessions, after the competition, focusing on the issues mentioned...

Thanks for the advice, Altius. Pretty sure I suffer from that fact, yes.. I'll try to adjust the goals in relation to his potential, focus on basic skills and do not push grip height so that it goes beyond security and that he can risk injury.
