[edit] Removed "Skills" section, too technical, et al

I removed the section entitled "Skills" because it is filled with technical gymnastic terms that only gymnasts or someone else deeply conversant with gymnastics would understand. An encyclopedia article should not require a technical manual to be understood. In fact, isn't the purpose is to make the recondite accessible?

Finally, none of the terms were referenced. The editor might want to create entries--or reference them if they already exist--of the aforementioned terms.
