About
The Tsuk back pike was typically the vault of choice for Nadia Comaneci and has its footprint in vaulting history as a result. Nadia touched it, you guys. The Tsukahara back pike is too simple to be useful to a international-level modern day elite gymnast, but it’s not completely gone. We’ll see it performed as an early season downgrade or as an option for lower-level Chinese elites who are on that “maybe you could have a layout double full some day” track.
