who will compete Yurchenko double back?
I’m surprised we are not seeing this vault.I know it can be difficult to get “into” the tucked position. (You need a strong “block”.) But clearly many of the top vaulters in the world have enough angular momentum to do it. Perhaps Yurchenko double pike will be done first. from FIG Share This

I'm surprised more people don't compete a tsuk double back. It's not that difficult, yet it's not in women's fig and to the best of my knowledge it has never been done by a female gymnast.

I've landed a few myself, and I know there are female gymnasts out there with a stronger tsuk than mine (heck, one of the level 8s at my gym has a stronger tsuk than I do; if she was a bit gutsier and if we had a pit vault, I'm positive she could learn a tsuk double fairly quickly)
