It doesn't have any references, and it seems to not be notable enough to have an article. Endofskull (talk) 00:25, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep such a self-evidently core part of gymnastics, refs aren't hard to find and I see that another editor has already added a few. WP:BEFORE seems relevant here. 8-( Andy Dingley (talk) 00:59, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Clearly an encyclopedic type entry. I am sure references can be added.--Stephencdickson (talk) 12:38, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
What's intended to be the difference between this and somersault (to which forward roll redirects)? Uncle G (talk) 01:16, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rolls are generally on the ground, somersaults off the ground. Rolls can be classed as a subset of somersaults though, and diving rolls are (or begin) off the ground. Andy Dingley (talk) 01:57, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
