How much of the modern vault improvement can be attributed to the springboard?
i can’t believe the one on the left was a Gold medal winner.
Wolverine vs. Deadpool
If the one on the left is gold medal winner curious what silver and bronze did lol
Level 1 noob vs Level 100 boss
It’s pretty much a different sport given the springboard and different shape of the actual thing they vaulted over
In fact, this video shows how fast we grow. This works in any human activity
To be fair, as a layman spectator I can actually see what happened on the first one.
That springboard makes a big difference.
Do you get more points for landing with your feet together, because I feel like landing hip width is easier?
Raygun being the best vaulter, 80 years ago.
That’s the difference between “hey now that you’re back from the war, do you want to go try this event at the Olympics?” And “From birth he has been trained for one thing and one thing only. To do flips and shit ahhh hell yeaaah brother.”
To me that’s a pretty good skill, to be leaning so far forward in the air and then recover to land upright. Props to 1932.
Vaulting used to resemble jumping over bulls.
Was vaulting inspired by jumping over bulls?
On Left: “Parkour!”
Having no gymnastic ability, I’d like to believe I could go back 80 years and dominate but that ‘32 one looks just as hard 😂
Early gymnastics was so unserious.
Ok the more I watch it the more the left one is actually impressive. Obviously not what we’re used to today with superhuman level athletics but he got full horizontal there.
