how high does McKayla fly?

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

Estimates her entire body 2.75m (over 9ft) above the ground.

FIG wants better, fairer judging

In Trampoline they’ve added “time of flight” as a component of scoring. It works.

Vault would be the best first apparatus to measure height, distance and time of flight. Height of gymnasts could be included.
