Wow.
My congratulations to Marissa on this win. These are HUGE vaults.
Click PLAY or watch her on YouTube.
Note that she does not use the easier Kasamatsu technique. These are true Tsuk 1 1/2 and 1/1.
College girls need show 2 different vaults in finals, not 2 different families.
Vault was the weakest final, however. Most of the girls only train 1 vault, winging it on the second, if they make the final. I feel that’s dangerous … though it wasn’t today (happily). If there was an injury on the second (untrained) vault, I’d argue that the NCAA rules partially contributed.
