Gymnastics-Biles Makes History With Yurchenko Double Pike (Video) Four-time Olympic gymnastics champion Simone Biles became the first woman to land a Yurchenko double pike in competition at the U.S. Classic in Indianapolis on Saturday, while winning the all-around title in her first meet since October 2019. Biles, who last competed at the 2019 World Championships, had an all-around score of 58.4 points and finished ahead of training partner Jordan Chiles, despite falling off the uneven bars on her final event. The 24-year-old Biles, who sported a rhinestone goat on the back of her white leotard on Saturday, has won every meet she has entered since the 2013 U.S. Championships. “It was really nerve-racking, but I’m just happy to be back out here,” NBC Sports quoted Biles as saying. Watch Simone Biles lands Yurchenko double pike vault at U.S. Classic For the Yurchenko double pike, Biles sprinted down the runway, did a roundoff onto the takeoff board, followed by a back handspring with a half-twist onto the vault before finishing it with a double somersault in a piked position. She scored a 16.1, higher than either of her gold medal-winning vaults at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Biles also posted the highest scores on balance beam, floor exercise and vault at the U.S. Classic, the first of three major competitions before the July 23-Aug. 8 Tokyo Summer Olympics.

Kinematics of the Springboard Phase in Yurchenko-Style Vaults
KINEMATICS OF THE SPRINGBOARD PHASE IN YURCHENKO-STYLE VAULTS Gabriella Penitente, Franco Merni, Silvia Fantozzi, Nino Perretta* Faculty of Exercise and Sports Science of Bologna, Italy The object of this study is the kinematics analysis of the center of mass (COM) in the springboard phase of the Yurchenko-style vault performed by 14 female gymnasts during the 2006 Italian Championship for Clubs. The purpose was to widen the biomechanics knowledge about this phase. Temporal, horizontal and vertical spatial, horizontal and vertical velocity and body’s angle parameters were estimated. A representative kinematics analysis of the Yurchenko’s springboard phase was compiled based on these parameters. The results indicated that the gymnasts use the board to avoid a large decrease in the COM horizontal velocity and increase their COM vertical velocity. These were realizing by a great body’s angle at the board impact, reducing the amount of the downward motion in the gathering and maximizing the successive upward lift of the COM. KEY WORDS: Yurchenko vault, springboard phase, gymnastics. INTRODUCTION: In a Yurchenko vault after the running approach the gymnast executes a round-off onto the springboard and a back handspring onto the vaulting table (Fig.1). Then she performs somersault, which may range in difficulty from a simple single tuck to a triple twist layout before landing with the feet on the mat. All vaults with these features are classified as a "Yurchenko-style" vault (YU) in the Code of Points by the Federation Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG). The present study is focused on the Yurchenko’s springboard phase (YUSB).

Innovators and the other two bars, not differ in terms are judged and action This is the perfect athletic complement or alternative to Hot Shots. Flexibility is important in injury prevention and helping prevent the every day aches and pains. In contrast, prescriptions for maximizing strength and minimizing hypertrophy usually involve heavier loads, smaller numbers of repetitions, and longer periods of rest. Kyla Ross performs a jaegar on the uneven bars. Gymnasts are graded on the skill level of the routine as well as how well the movements flow. Have you ever heard of the sport called power tumbling? Yurchenko It is a move named after a famous gymnast, Natalia Yurchenko. Flexion occurs at the knee during any skill where the gymnast must tuck his legs. Will they reinvent the most difficult gymnastics moves? The main challenge of the pommel horse, from a physics point of view, is dynamic stability, which means that the gymnast has to stay balanced enough to remain on the pommel while also moving his body.

Differences in Vault Jumps in Women Artistic Gymnastics
Lucija Milčić1, Kamenka Živčić Marković1, Tomislav Krističević1, Miljan Grbović2, Aleksandra Aleksić-Veljković3 1University of Zagreb, Faculty of Kinesiology, Zagreb, Croatia 2University of Belgrade, Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, Belegrade, Serbia 3University of Niš, Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, Niš, Serbia Differences in vault jumps in women artistic gymnastics ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to determine the difference between vault jumps at old and new horse performed at the Olympic Games 2000. and Olympic Games 2016. in women artistic gymnastics. Research was conducted on a sample of 32 jumps. Sixteen jumps at apparatus (vault) finals competition were performed at the Olympic Games 2000. in Sydney, Australia. Other sixteen jumps were performed also in the vault finals, but at the Olympic Games 2016. in Rio, Brazil. Analyses of the vaults were done by video. Variables which are used was divid- ed in two parts: type of the jumps (2, 3, 4, 5) and rotation (180°, 360°, 540°, 720°, 900°). Type of jumps was: 2=Handsprings, 3=Tsukahara, 4=Yurchenko, 5= Half-turn entry. Differences between the Olympic Games in type of jumps and rotations were calculated by T-test for in- dependent samples and Mann-Whitney U Test for independent sample. Results of Mann- Whitney U Test have shown that at the level of statistical significance of p<,05 that there were differences between the Olympic Games in variable rotation. It seems that today´s vault is performed with much more rotation around longitudinal (LA) axis of the body, and around transversal it seems that they are the same despite the new vault table.

Name student: Céline Decoster I Samenvatting Deze thesis onderzoekt de perspectieven die verschillende stakeholders hebben over een hybride mens + Artificiële Intelligentie (AI) jureringssysteem in turnen. De turnsport heeft al verschillende jureringsschandalen op zijn naam, deze zijn vaak het gevolg van menselijke vooroordelen tijdens de evaluatie. Artistieke Gymnastiek wordt geëvalueerd door een jury, dit brengt onvolkomenheden met zich mee. De mens is een subjectief wezen, en kan in zijn evaluatie beïnvloed worden door verschillende factoren. Vooroordelen kunnen gebaseerd zijn op nationaliteit, reputatie, lichaamsbouw, de volgorde van de presterende gymnasten, en de reputatie (Findlay & Ste-Marie, 2004). Ook kan de plaats van een jury, of vermoeidheid een rol spelen in de evaluatie van juryleden (Plessner & Schallies, 2005; V.V, 2013). Deze schandalen kunnen binnenkort verleden tijd zijn.
