Ri Se Gwang – new dangerous vault

The Tsuk double back with 1/1 twist video has been going viral in the (admittedly small) gymnastics blogosphere.

Most are impressed. But very worried about what happens when he “misses”.

Men’s vault is by far the most dangerous apparatus right now. We might need to cap difficulty at some point. Or improve the landing surface to something like what is used in Power Tumbling.

We should ask Ronny Ziesmer, the German gymnast paralyzed training Tsuk double back in preparation for the 2004 Olympics, what he thinks of this vault.
