Puente Olímpico
From Luchawiki
(Redirected from Bridging cradle)
A back bridging cradle, often finishing off a previous move. Toscano uses this as a finishing move.
Any back bridge leading to a pin is often called puente olimpico. If it's the end of a move, puento olimpico is added as a subtext. German suplexes are usually called suplex puente olimpico.
As seen in the video below, the term can also apply to a bridging Prawn Hold, wherein the attacker is in the opposite lateral direction (pressing the opponent down with their upper-back & arms). Keyra uses a variant of this as a finishing hold, after first disorienting her opponent with a pin attempt the other way.
