Women who vault are AWESOME 💪

[@insideAdirtyMind]

I was selected for Gymnastics at my school, and I was really into it. I loved Beam, Floor and Uneven Bars, but I was totally terrified by the Vault. I am happy my parents and coaches took me serious and never pushed me into doing it. I really had a bad feeling and now I think I would be injuried today if I would have pushed me to do it. I have the greatest respect for these ladies, that they can do something crazy like that and feel comfortable with their sport. Go ladies!

[@demultiplexdfunc177]

I giggle hard at the black and white footage. For once, “I can do that”, is true!

[@sreeharikmohan1819]

Who knows, future kiddos may giggle after seeing what we are doing now!! 😀

[@julittok]

@@sreeharikmohan1819 If they get bionic legs maybe, Biles is already at the limit of what a human can do IMO

[@sreeharikmohan1819]

[@MsSonnencreme]

Well but could you with that exact vaulting thingy. That looked stiff as a brick

[@MsMockingbird06]

😂😂😂😂

[@occupyallthethings]

For anyone wondering why they changed the vault apparatus in 2004, it was because in 2000 at the Sydney Olympics they had incorrectly set it 5cm lower causing many gymnasts to overshoot it and injure themselves. The new design, and later with a slope, was designed to make it safer for the gymnasts if it were incorrectly set again.

[@SaraNightfire1]

It also caused a lot of (rightly) international backlash. Especially with a lot of the top all-arounders ending up with falls and heavy penalties on the first rotation where vault was their starting point. A lot of the athletes were extremely rattled by that and it destroyed any chances of getting a medal. Even after the mistake was found and corrected and after they were offered to do the vault again with no penalty.

[@shonda79able]

That mistake cost 1 gymnast a gold medal. I don't remember her name.

[@SaraNightfire1]

@@shonda79able Several, actually. I know one of the top Russians got knocked out of the competition, and at least two Americans also lost any chances. It was probably one of the (if not most) controversial event in gymnastics history.

[@chuuu4610]

All very impressive. I’m here to celebrate Oksana Chusovitina. What a legend.

[@loveliestcharlotte]

I can't believe how simple the 1956 vault was!

[@MaryRudac]

Yeah me either it’s hard to believe

[@Elisheval]

I think vault was much more difficult when you had a narrow rectangle that you were blindly flipping onto. Now they have a massive table to vault off. And yes, the tricks are more impressive, but what Boginskaya did took it to another level.

[@starwarzchik112]

The reason they don’t have the narrow rectangle anymore is because someone slipped, broke her neck, and died. The newer vault design is much safer.

[@lilymae7516]

I assume you didn't watch the 2000 Olympics. I also assume you have n9t heard of one girl named Julissa Gomez who died hitting the vault.

[@CountryCowboy008]

Actually, it was Yurchenko who did it first.

[@sallydaniel1023]

They changed it after the vaulting debacle in Sydney

[@aebbingeable]

@@lilymae7516 the vault was set 5cm too low in Sydney, it mee seem as not that much but this resulted in those accidents

[@federicapiottoli6922]

Boginskaya is unbelievable. Wonder what she would have been able to do with today's equipment

[@Sunflowers9191]

Haha that very first vault from 1956 we always had to do during PE class in school but I get that back then it was super impressive!

[@lizk1780]

Should have shown Mckayla Maroney's vault at the London Olympics. Her vault is considered the greatest vault in Olympic history

[@MA-yu2ss]

Yes

Maroney was best in the team vault. That was the highlight. Still had the best vault individual.

Vault is kinda scary to me, imagine breaking legs when landing.

[@multiio1424]

Or necks. (when landing wrong side up)

I remember I watched one who broke his leg in a live olympics a few years back, it was so terrifying to watch it live.

[@brett8680]

Bogi is just so elegant! I love her.

[@mynameischandansingh]

Progress is impressive and this is in forward way of accuracy.

[@mediagirl]

The direct comparison between Latynina and Biles gives the impression of completely different sports. Insane how the level changed. And just imagine how everyone in 1950 would have reacted if the best Athletes from 1988 onwards would have competed the same moves back then...

[@lucypevensie4367]

Would've been impossible though. Its not just athletes getting better, but also equipment and stuff. Put Simone Biles on a horse like they used in the fifties, and then see what she can do. Would actually be pretty interesting :)

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

@@lucypevensie4367 Not to mention that the beam back then was just a block of wood, and the floor was just that - a floor. No springs like today. The skills in the floor routine that Nadia Comaneci did back in 76 actually took enormous strength to do off a "dead" floor. I wonder how she would do on the modern sprung floors. Same with her dismount on beam - no sprung beam back then to add power to the dismount, it was all just pure muscle.

[@TiestoCalvinHarris]

​@@chooseyourpoison5105hence Nadia legend forever

Nelli Kim was an incredible gymnast. But it's also the choice of the lineup.

[@zaaachhyyy]

@@elifdurmus8243 Nellie Kim is a joke. She literally stole other peoples skills and named them after herself. She would name the run up to the vault after her if could. They should’ve showed a different gymnast.

I wonder why the physical apparatus changed. Up until after the 2000 Olympics, it looked like a pommel horse without handles. Perhaps it's safer with the current shape so their hands don't "miss"?

[@sunidhinarula9183]

in the 2000 Olympics a gymnast died doing the vault so they changed the design

[@danacaro-herman3530]

@@sunidhinarula9183 Oh how very sad. Who was it?

[@karishmadesai1408]

No one died at the Sydney Olympics, but someone was severely injured. The pommel horse was set too low for women's vault during the Sydney Olympics, which caused lots of dangerous falls and led to one of the most controversial gymnastics events
