Diving has been doing this for many years. A diver does a dive and by the time they complete the dive and get out of the pool they look at a poolside TV and see the replay of the dive.

Every major team/college program uses these at practices and meets. Very valuable coaching tool.
Most of the home gyms of the National Team girls have had video feedback for some time. It’s the Karolyi Ranch that has been slow getting them.
Woodward has this. As does the USOTC, I believe.
