Yurchenko full on, full off

I’ve never liked the 1/1 on Yurchenko vaults. The relatively high preflight kills the postflight, normally.

But this difficult variation is interesting.

UPDATE: Marcus says: Kang Yun Mi and Steliana Nistor did this vault back in 2004

The first gymnast I ever say do this was Priakhina. Anyone know of someone doing it earlier?

“I love Jackie! Wait until you see what she’s working on, it’ll blow your mind.”

Make sure you give us a heads up if she ever posts a video of this mysterious skill.

Anon, if I remember right scherbo just twisted off and didn’t flip.
