Vault

Known as

Named after
Haruhiro Yamashita (JPN) (Man)

About
Yamashita vaults do not exist in modern-day elite gymnastics, predominantly because of the excessively low value of non-salto vaults—so why even try to know her? Skills in which the technical requirement is a pike-before-open are also (sadly) a vestige of a previous time where the differentiation of skills into distinct salto categories was less rigid.

The Yamashita 1/2 is best known to gymnastics viewers for being the 1992 compulsory vault.
