Tsukahara (vault)

The Tsukahara can refer to a specific vault and a family of vaults in artistic gymnastics. The first Tsukahara vault was performed by (and named after) Mitsuo Tsukahara in 1972.

A Tsukahara vault consists of a half turn off the springboard onto the vault table, then a push backwards, usually into a back salto or layout.[1]

Variations

Any vault that has a handspring with 1/4 - 1/2 turn onto the vault table into a salto backwards is classified as a Tsukahara vault. Some variations on the Tsukahara vaults include:

  • Kim - Tsukahara tucked or stretched with full twist (360°) off
  • Zamolodchikova - Tsukahara stretched with a 2/1 turn (720°) off
  • Phelps - a half turn onto the vault table, followed by a half turn off and into a front layout.

gollark: Among many other things.
gollark: Fair. Hopefully it'll eventually get standardized and they won't be able to go around blocking secure traffic without just disconnecting themselves from the internet. Which they... could still do, I guess.
gollark: Odd of them to block it when it's still in a draft form and not implemented in browsers (or at least not on by default).
gollark: Oh, I looked it up and they're blocking traffic which uses TLS 1.3 *and* the ESNI thing.
