From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

the Higgins, also known as the Higgins Roll, is a artistic gymnastics move done by men on the high bar and women on the uneven bars. It was first performed internationally at the 1965 "Little Olympics" in Mexico City by Terry B. Higgins. The Higgins is a turning element that is also used to transfer from regular grip to L-grip. The move requires the gymnast to let go of the bar with one arm, make a half turn, rotate inwards and place the free hand on the opposite side of where it was, thus ending up in L-grip. The Higgins is a B-value skill in the FIG Code of Points.
