The 5 Most Difficult Vaults in Women's Gymnastics

#gymnastics #masterclass #sports

In women's artistic gymnastics, Vault is the first event in the Olympic order.
It's the shortest exercise out of the 4 and it includes:
- a 25-meter run;
- the pre-flight phase, which refers to the abilities performed before the gymnast touches the vaulting table;
- the repulsion off the table;
- the flight phase, which is the skill performed after the hands touch the apparatus;
- and the landing.
In this video, we'll take a look at the 5 most difficult vaults performed in women's gymnastics.

Additional information:
- In 2016, Hong Un Jong (PRK) submitted the Triple Twisting Yurchenko at the Olympics. She went for it in the final but fell, therefore she was not credited with the skill. The FIG gave it a 6.8 back then. In the 2017-21 Code, it would be a 6.2. But since no one has successfully performed it in competition, the vault has not been officially integrated into the Code.
- Simone Biles is currently training a Yurchenko Double Pike, so I have a feeling this video will not age well 😅
- If you have footage of the Tshukahara 2 1/2, please share it with our community here :) The only footage I could find was from Monica Rosu, but it was a fake video.

The Prudonova scares me because the way most people land it seems like it would obliterate the knees

[kateFGMP]

It's incredible that Produnova could land a Produnova on that old vault.

[LatinFratGuy]

after Simone's recent video, youll have to be adding to this video very soon possibly for the yurchenko double pike!

[mmaolisae]

I like how you broke down each vault by entry and flight. That's so helpful. My favorite is the Cheng and Biles.

[brooklynmccarthy]

the biles is my favorite vault i ever seen.

[leiliu]

Great video! I personally think that the Produnova vault should have a higher D-score, like 6.6.

[candycoatedoom]

Not the "Seojeong". It's the "Yeo". Yeo is the family name.

Simone stuck an amanar (twice? can't remember), has top 2 best cheng, nearly stuck a 6.4 vault twice, and is training another vault that will be top 3 in WAG. And i haven't mentioned her medal count on this event. She is technically the greatest on this event, personal preferences aside. It's not even a debate.

My fav is the produnova. I hope Chuso can land it at the Olympics As a senior athlete wannabe lol, she gives me hope.

[pamelaflirtyskunk]

And just think... Biles now has an epic new vault (Yurchenko double pike) no other woman has ever done in competition. It was awesome to watch her do it at the 2021 US Classics! Guess you'll have to update this video now 😉😉😉 Until Biles completely retires, the GOAT will continue to impress with new skills!

I’m still expecting the code to recognize the biles beam dismount at a more appropriate level—at least an H, maybe an I. The reason giving it a c level was it was dangerous. I believe give biles credit she has earned. Then if the Olympic committee decides too dangerous, then ban it, but don’t discount Biles’ skill with the low rating

Rebeca Andrade, of Brazil, won the gold medal in Tokyo at this morning (01/08/2021) with a Cheng and Tsukahara 2 1/2!! 😀💫

[RachelSprung]

Great to see all in one place, but isn’t that the Yeo? Her family name is Yeo.

[thecatspajamas]

Would love to see Simone do the Produnova.

[eimardgomes]

My favorites are the Yeo and the Produnova. I love foward entry vaults

[FoxxyFire-HellFrost]

Now the highest ranked vault skill is The Biles II. That double Yurchenko Pike has never been done in women's gymnastics, being thought impossible, until Simone debuted it. I'm so excited for her to roll out that bad boy at the Olympics!

[Mature]

2 years on and the Produnova is still the most difficult Vault ever performance by a world class athlete 👏🏻

[daro]

Just my opinion:
Prudonova and Yeo should be upped like .1 :<

[akshayarohatgi]

You can’t forget that Dipa Karmakar did the Produnova at Rio 2016! That deserves special mention.
After that though, sadly she injured her knees and was thus unable to participate in Tokyo 2021. She came fourth last time and I was sure she would have won a medal this time …
