Is a double twisted yurchenko vault the same

[Canadian_gym_mom]

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.

Nope! An Amanar is a 2 1/2 twisting yurchenko. So it is a double twisted with an extra half twist. And no question is stupid

You obviously haven't read many of my posts, lol.

And thanks.

Yep, the 2 1/2 twisting yurchenko is named after Simona Amanar: 2000 Olympics WAG EF Simona Amanar VT CCTV - YouTube

They should rename it the Maroney... Amanar may have done it first, but McKayla owns that vault
