We’ve posted this before.
But it’s worth looking at again.
Michelle Browning is still competing this amazing vault, scoring 9.825 last weekend.
Click PLAY or watch it on Gymnastike.
Who else has done this vault in College?
… former Penn State gymnast Michelle Ilg. … Gina Bruce of Nebraska …
(via gymfan86 on College Gymnastics Board)
UPDATE: Kristine Garbarino from WMU does a variation of this vault, too. Training video 2009.
UPDATE: Level 10 Ebony Walters is competing this vault, as well. (several errors in that article, BTW)

Cool beans!
Jackie Bruce, the level 10 J.O. nationals vault champion does that vault for fun in the gym, it looks really neat. They have considered competing it but her yurchenko full on full off is what they have stuck with for a while now.
Kristine Garbarino who the vault is named after does this vault for Western Michigan. She is also the MAC gymnast of the week, two weeks in a row.
Thanks JO.
I added a link to her doing the vault in training from the original post:

What a great vault! Haven’t seen that one, thanks for sharing it.
wow this is both really amazing and cool. Does anyone know if its actually in the fig cop.
No, it is not in the FIG code of points because front handsprings onto the board are not allowed, only roundoff entries.
Sweet – I coached with her current coach – good guy, smart coach for sure.
