Vault is gymnastics based sport with apparatus; it is also the skill performed using the apparatus.
Equipment
The first ever vault apparatus was a vaulting horse. It was set up with its longest side to perpendicular for a run if you were a woman, and parallel if you were a man. The vaulting horse was the apparatus used in the Olympics for over 100 years. The vaulting horse was used for the men in the first modern Olympic. But it was stopped from being used in the men and women gymnastics at the 2000 Olympics.
Girl’s equipment are: uneven bars, beam, floor, parallel pars and a vault.
Boy’s equipment is: pommel horse, mushroom, rings, floor, parallel bars and vault.
This equipment is for all type of gymnasts.
The vaulting horse had caused serious accidents over the years, for example:
• In 1988, Julissa Gomez got paralyzed in a vaulting accident; she died 3 years later from her incident.
• In 1998 Sang LAN fell and suffered paralysis from a cervical spine injury.
• If the horse was too high or too low gymnasts either had bad landing or hit the horse from the front.
Dimensions:
• Length: 120 centimetres (3.9 ft)
• Width: 95 centimetres (3.12 ft)
Height:
• Men: 135 centimetres (4.43 ft)
• Women: 125 centimetres (4.10 ft)
Run up area:
• Length: 2,500 centimetres (82 ft)
• Width: 100 centimetres (3.3 ft)
Structure of national organization
After the problems in 2000 the international gymnastics federation (fig), changed the apparatus, this was for safety reasons and better facilities. The new apparatus were made by a Dutch gymnastic company named Janssen fritsen. It had a flat, larger, and more comfortable surface, which was parallel to the floor, and it sloped downwards at the end which was closer to the spring board, gymnastics nicknamed it the tongue.
In 2007 a Dutch junior gymnast imke glas was seriously injured in a fall on the vault.
Position:
Vaults are divided into five different groups, called families. The most common family performed is the front handspring style.
To perform the vault, you hit from the springboard onto the vault table, touching the table as if you were performing a handspring. Your weight is then briefly held on the table by your hands for the "block," after which you push off the table and dismount.
There is the half on vault. The half on vault is the way the body twists before touching the vault. A basic move in gymnastics, the half on vault involves twisting your body one-half turn before your body makes contact with the vaulting table.
There is the stoop on vaults; a stoop on vault involves picking your legs after hitting the springboard. Once in the air, your hands are placed firmly on the vault table, allowing your legs to be picked, or bent at the hips only instead of the knees. This allows your feet to be placed between the hands on the table, and then pressed off the vault table.
There is the straddle vault, which is a vault when the run and jump are similar to other vaults, but the movement of the legs involves a straddle position. A straddle position in gymnastics refers to opening the legs any amount from just a little to more than 180 degrees, or a splits position. In the straddle vault, the legs are separated enough for the legs to arrive on either side of the hands. Once the feet hit the platform, the gymnast stands up.
Those are the main vaults.
RULES:
Gymnastic was officially an Olympic game in 1952, and was ever since. Gymnastics rules are made by FIG which stands for Federation International Gymnastique, they were formed in 1881 to do the rules.
In the mid-1950 a series of rules was developed to standardise competitive gymnastics:
• Gymnasts are only allowed to make one attempt on each apparatus.
• Assistants known as 'spotters' may stand next to specified pieces of apparatus to prevent risk of injury but 0.4 will be taken off the final score if help is required.
• Spotters are allowed to help gymnasts mount the still rings and the horizontal bars.
• Gymnasts may wear bandages or leather grips to increase friction on the apparatus.
• Gymnasts may be penalised for what the judges consider to be unsporting behaviour.
• Gymnasts may repeat a routine if it has been interrupted by an external factor.
• Gymnasts must obtain permission to leave the arena during a competition.
Scoring
Gymnastics events are scored by two groups of judges: difficulty judges and execution judges who each award the gymnast a mark out of ten at the end of their routine. If a minor error is made 0.1 is taken off the final mark but more serious errors may cost the gymnast anything up to 0.4 of a point deduction. If the gymnast falls off a piece of apparatus half a point is deducted. Once each judge has given a mark, the highest and lowest scores are discounted and the gymnast's overall score is averaged from the remaining scores.
The judges score you on things like:
• The height of the jump.
• The clarity of the jump.
• The balance.
• If its aesthetically pleasing
• Start and finishing position.
• Good form and execution
• A good landing.
• A stuck landing
• Unique of the routine.
Structure of leagues: The leagues in gymnastics are as followed.
• British Championships
• British Open Tournament
• World Trampoline Championships
• European Championships
• World Artistic Championships
• The Challenge Cup
There are a lot of teams in gymnastics. Some of these teams are countries and cities even towns
THE TOP 3 MEN:
These are the top 3 men in gymnastic
• Ito M. He is from Japan
• Fedorenkon. He’s from Russia
• Merinon. He’s from Portugal
THE TOP 3 WOMEN:
These are the top 3 women in gymnastic
• Driscoll k she is British
• Rente A she is portages
• Cockburn k she is Canadian
Role model:
A top role model in gymnastics is Katherine driscoll.
She is a good role model, because she has never been accused of doing anything wrong, also she started from the bottom like every normal person and made her way up to become the best women gymnastic.
