Mexican gymnast Carlos Garza performed a new parallel bars dismount: a front double pike performed from the end of the bar

At the 2025 Paris World Challenge Cup, Garza became the first gymnast to perform a front double pike from the end of the parallel bars in a major international competition. The skill has been assigned a difficulty value of D (0.4) in the Code of Points.

This dismount is unique as it start from the end of the bars, as it is more common for gymnasts to dismount to the side of the parallel bars. However, because the gymnast doesn't have to worry about clearing the bars during the flip, the type of dismount carries a lower difficulty rating. A front double pike performed from the middle of the bars, a "Belyavskiy”, is rated F (0.6), so the technical committee considers Garza's version two tenths easier due to its position at the end.

Interestingly, there are no variations of this skill in the Code of Points yet, meaning there's no tucked version, nor a harder version with additional twists.

The Paris meet marked Garza's first international assignment for Team Mexico. After the competition, he wrote on social media:

"My first World Cup in Paris has come to an end… so many emotions in a single day… Be patient and have confidence in yourselves, everything comes in its own time if you work for it. I've been working toward this for years, and I can finally say that I'm making it happen."

Garza also dedicated the performance to his uncle, a longtime supporter of his athletic career who had passed away. He continued:

"Today, with tears in my eyes… I can tell you that I'm part of the gymnastics Code of Points… that's right, my name is now forever etched into this beautiful sport!!!"

Following the skill's official addition to the Code of Points by World Gymnastics, Garza's coach, Mariano Espinal, posted:

"Yet another milestone for the entire team. We dreamed it, and we made it happen. Congratulations to you, Carlos."

The skill was officially named after Garza in the Newsletter – N° 04, released in July of 2026 by World Gymnastics. According to the Men's Code of Points, an original skill can be named after a gymnast if they are the first to successfully complete it at an official World Gymnastics-sanctioned competition, with a difficulty rating of C or higher, executed without a fall.
