Completing a double back salto with a full twist requires a massive amount of speed and power. This dismount takes the Full-in beam dismount above and increases the difficulty by including another full-twist.
Similar to the Full-in dismount, one of the most challenging parts of this skill is generating the speed and power to complete the movement with control. Origin: Simone Biles from the U. Gymnastics Championships in Kansas City, U.
Gymnastics routines on floor present a mixture of artistic movements and powerful tumbling skills. There is no beam, vault, rings or any other apparatus for the gymnast to navigate. For this reason, the hardest gymnastics skills on the floor truly push the limits of what the human body can do on its own.
This skill requires a high degree of core strength to maintain the layout position while completing two flips at high velocity.
On top of the strength required to complete this movement, it also requires a high degree of technical skill because of the blind landing. A blind landing means the gymnast does not have the opportunity to see the ground while inverted. As a result, the skill is highly dependent on muscle memory and control. Mid-air adjustments are not an option! Origin: American gymnast Simone Biles landed the first double salto layout with a half-twist in at the World Championships in Antwerp.
It takes a great deal of finesse to intertwine two twists with two flips. However, this skill is also dependent on generating enough power to launch the athlete high enough in the air to complete their rotations and flips with control.
The Silivas remained the most difficult gymnastics skill on floor for 25 years, before Victoria Moors completed the skill in the layout position see The Moors II below. Origin: The double salto tucked with two full twist was first completed by Romania, Daniela Silivas at the Olympics in Seoul, Korea.
Much like the Silivas above, the double-twisting double layout requires an enormous amount of power generated by the gymnast in order to gain the appropriate height to complete both flips and both twists. The layout position of this skill increases the difficulty immensely because the inertia of these flips and twists naturally forces a gymnast to bend their knees. The gymnast must therefore be extremely strong to counteract these forces and remain in layout position.
If you watch closely, gymnasts who execute this skill poorly, typically cannot counteract inertia and complete the skill with slightly bent knees and flexed feet — as opposed to completing the layout with straight legs and strong, pointed toes.
Origin: The first gymnast to land the double-twisting double layout in competition was Canadian, Victoria Moors in at the World Championships in Antwerp. This movement adds an additional twist to the Silivas which was the most difficult gymnastics move for a quarter of a century. Gymnasts attempting the triple-double are required to generate even more power in order to gain enough airtime to complete this skill with control.
Unlike floor, beam, and most other areas of practice, there is no routine on vault. The vault only gives gymnasts one shot to execute their skill. The Cheng requires gymnasts to complete a round-off onto the spring board, giving them a blind entry onto the vaulting table.
The front salto with one and a half twists off the table must then be completed by carrying upward momentum from their blind twisting entry. The Biles takes the extreme difficulty of the Cheng and adds another half twist. Not only does this increase the difficulty of the movement by requiring the gymnast to complete another half turn, it also drastically increases the difficulty because they gymnast lands blind. As a result, the Biles on vault is tied as the second most difficult vault to complete.
Previously the Produnova was listed at a higher level of difficulty but the scoring was readjusted after complaints that gymnasts who poorly executed the Produnova were scoring far higher than those who precisely executed less difficult vaults. Why is the Produnova vault so difficult?
