Yurchenko (vault)








Yurchenko is the name of both a specific vault and a vault family in artistic gymnastics. The Yurchenko was named after Soviet gymnast Natalia Yurchenko.


In a Yurchenko vault, the gymnast does a round-off onto the springboard and a back handspring onto the horse or vaulting table. The gymnast then performs a salto, which may range in difficulty from a simple single tuck to a triple twist layout.



Variations


Any vault with a roundoff-back handspring entry is classified as a "Yurchenko-style" vault in the Code of Points. Many variations of the original vault have been introduced by gymnasts in international competitions. Even as of 2006, gymnasts and coaches continue to develop more difficult versions of the Yurchenko.


Some of the most commonly performed Yurchenko-style vaults include:


Backhandspring entry:



  • (Shushunova) 1½ twisting Yurchenko: Roundoff, back handspring entry; one and a half twisting layout. Abbreviated as 1.5Y.

  • Double twisting Yurchenko: Roundoff, backhandspring entry; double twisting layout. Abbreviated as DTY.


  • Amanar/Shewfelt (2½ twisting Yurchenko): Roundoff, back handspring entry; two and a half twisting layout.
