yurchenko

How do you guys determined where the hurdle starts for the RO's in yurchenko vaults ...

I am just trying to understand. Is there a direct connection between the handspring vault and the Yurchenko vault? In other words the only way a kid will have a dynamic yurchenko vault is if they have an equally dynamic handspring vault. I have heard conflicting ideas and I am just trying to...

How do you determine Yurchenko table height for your athletes?

Is the yurchenko considered the most difficult and most desirable vault at the highest levels of gymnastics? It seems that the tsuk is prettier (in my opinion) and FHS vaults have some pretty amazing levels of difficulty when you think of the power it takes to do it with the flipping elements...

I'm wondering about when we will see a triple twisting yurchenko. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Mykayla might do it but I'm starting to think otherwise. Maybe its not possible with current equipment. Well, anyway, this the Triple Twisting Yuchenko Forum

This is probably a stupid question and I apologize in advance for my stupidity ;-) When girls are first learning the yurchenko vault, what is the most difficult part to learn? The round off entry or the flip on the post flight? My presumption (ignorant presumption) is that if the ro entry is...

Why do you have to flip the Yurchenko in order to compete it? Why not start out with just a ROBHS over the table? (No, my six-year-old is not training Yurchenkos. This is just idle curiosity based on watching the big girls.)

Found a new gym. And daughter did her 1st Yurchenko last night. I couldn't believe it. She was so happy, this place is going to be great for her. Still working on basic form issues but this coach after watching her has her training in a group of 7's training 8. She is so tiny (remember she's 7)...

I have a gymnast who is more than ready to flip the yurchenko but she is scared. She has very good timers and block and height is not an issue. She tells me that she doesn't know how to flip without touching the ground. I have never had a gymnast with this issue before! So, I'm asking if anyone...

Hi all, One of my gymnasts is ready to begin learning yurchenko vaults and I'm more than rusty on the progressions and technique required. It's been a very long time since I last had anything to do with teaching one and none of our gymnasts has ever competed one. I am a co-head coach and the...

When doing a Yurchenko half on...should a gymnast be perfectly square with their lower body when hitting the board? I've watched many videos and have noticed that a majority of gymnasts performing this vault are slightly (or majorly) skewed when hitting the board. However...I have seen some...

This question was mentioned in a different thread, but I didn't want to get it off topic. DD's new gym has L8s do tsuks. Her best friend just went to a new gym and their 8s compete yurchenkos. Do they score the same? Why do some gyms seem to favor tsuks and other yurchenkos? Many level 9s...

Awesome pic... yurchenko vault by tapsister, on Flickr

Okay so I am in level 7 and I really really really wanna got to level 8 this year. I can do beam and floor no problem and bars is getting easier everyday but the yurchenko on vault is giving me trouble. Any tips or drills on how to improve me repulsion and especially the back half of the skill...

as an Amanar? And Amanar is the person it is named after? Stupid question probably, but it's not like it will be my first (or last!) on this forum and elsewhere, lol.

My daughter has been working on her yurchenko for a while. According to her coach, her timer/approach is fine, however, she is having trouble with the back part of the vault. Her coach tells her that as she flips off the table she is tucking her knees up and bring her shoulders down (kind of a...

I have my board pretty close to the table, all the way in with the guard all the way in and my hand Matt is about 5 inches away from the board. I find that everything is pretty crunched. My question is how do you know how far the board and hand Matt should be? If it goes by the height of the...

Okay, i am aware that it is a very high scoring vault but its infuriating every single person except for the occasional exception competes this vault and its just driving me bonkers!! What do you guys think of this vault?

SO... I am working yurchenkos onto the crash mat.... I have done soo many round offs, fall to my back to prepare... But when it comes to the back handspring part, I get so confused! It am not scared to do it, but I feel like my brain wont process the bhs.. Its the same thing doing whip on the...

Hi everyone! My dd's have had lots of recent accomplishments but the title says the two biggest! Little dd, 6 yrs and trying for Level 4, did 3 RO BHS on the resi last night with the coach there just in case! She also recently did a couple beam dismounts by herself and how has her whole bar...
