Women Yurkchanco Vault Xcel Diamond

[Gymnastics15]

I was wondering how does a gymnast compete a yurkchanco in Xcel Diamond without going up to a mat stack?

Either just round off back handspring over the table, land on feet or backhandspring back tuck or something bigger. Mat stack isn't an option.

Do you know the start values for those?

It looks like you have to flip or do a full twist off to get a 10.0 start in diamond. I find the vault progressions frustrating for Xcel. My daughter did 2 years of Platinum and did a front handspring (9.7 start value) both seasons and frequently won vault with that, but it didn’t help her at all to progress to doing flipping vaults in Diamond. There are also multiple twisting options that I rarely saw anyone do and still wouldn’t be progressing toward the next level.

At the gym I coached at, they all did the twisting progressions. That was actually the upgrade for golds with strong handspring vaults. Many platinums did handspring half off and then in diamond did the full off.
