Yang Hak-seon Grabs Gold with New Vault “ Yang 2 “

Yang Hak-seon showcases his new technique dubbed "Yang 2" at the 2014 Korea Cup in Incheon on Saturday.

Olympic champion Yang Hak-seon reconfirmed his prowess at vault on Saturday by unveiling his second eponymous technique, the long-awaited "Yang 2," and winning the event at the 2014 Korea Cup in Incheon.

He had to settle for 14.900 points on his first attempt due to a mistake while landing but switched from his signature vault, a handspring triple twist dubbed "Yang 1," to the "Yang 2" on his second attempt and earned an impressive 15.925 points for a combined average of 15.412.

His latest technique involves an extra half a twist than the triple-twisting Lopez, which he used to strike gold at the 2012 London Olympics. In fact, the "Yang 2" is so complex that few other gymnasts even attempt to perform moves of this level of difficulty.

Yang plans to attempt it again in the Asian Games in Incheon in September, or at the World Championships in Nanning, China one month later.

If he nails it at either event the move will officially be added to the list of techniques recognized by the International Gymnastics Federation, along with the "Yang 1." It could not be added because the Korea Cup is not sanctioned by the FIG.

Vintage Gymnastics - Pixie Olga

40 years ago Olga Korbut dazzled the world of Gymnastics. She changed the ways Americans watched the Olympics.Olga Korbut captured the public imagination with her charismatic and daring performances in the team competition at the 1972 Munich Games, aged just 17 year old. .

Her routines were unique, including her own signature elements, the Korbut flip on both apparatus. If you wonder what is the Korbut flip on uneven bars, just watch the 1972 videos, Just  watch the Korbut flip on beam. She opened the door for other, smaller and younger  gymnasts, and she “boldly went where no one had gone before”.

After her spectacular routine on the uneven parallel bars,1972 Olympics, Korbut later recalled, "It was amazing. One day, I was a nobody, and the next day, I was a star.
