@MrGymnasticsbeat all women have leg strength even kids.

Was that a triple front?  How come the female gymnasts don't do vaults like that?

@dccarlos15 Technicallly speaking it could be called a triple as there are three saltos(flips). But we(gymnasts) call it a front hand double because one of the saltos takes place from the hands on the vault table an the other two are in the air. Female gymnasts don't do vaults like this because they can't. I'm not trying to be sexist it's just that most women don't have the upper body and leg strength required to do such vaults. However I have seen many women that vault better than some men so..
