Handspring TRIPLE front

We’ve spent two quadrennials in fear of catastrophic injury on WAG Vault – Handspring double front.

This new vault is significantly more dangerous. 😦

Kerri Strug interview

Interesting.

Kerri Strug: ‘I was supposed to land the vault. Anything else would have been unacceptable.’

I’m reading The Sports Gene. One section talks about how athletes do not feel pain during extreme sports focus.

Gymneo – Yurchenko training

The subscription service Gymneo most recently posted:

Yurchenko part 1 (68min)
Yurchenko part 2 (53min)

I watched both straight through to compare with how we’re introducing that Vault in the Canadian Coach Education program.

The vault is very similar to double layout on Floor.

I was interested in two different hurdle actions compared. As always, the Gymneo graphics are excellent.

Gabby Douglas – Vault

Gabby has never been the strongest vaulter. (I still have nightmares about her disaster at Pacific Rims years ago.)

But this one is very good.

No Amanar, please. USA does not need it.
