1976 Olympics gymnastics Mitsuo Tsukahara vault

moon salto!!!!!!!!

so clean :D

That's not a springboard - that's a beat board - ugh I hated those so much!

yeah if my form looked like that my coach would kill me! still i am just learning it and i do it into the pit, even so i think that its a cool move!

ludmilla tourischewa did this vault in 1973 ,but not laydout.........!!!!!!!!!

true that

The springboard sucks D: theres like what, 2 springs in there?

and the vaulting horse was like a pommel horse at the time, cept sideways

you try using a 2 spring board and vaulting along a pommel horse w/o pommels, not easy LOL

much much more difficult that doing a tsukahara with a modern springboard and vaulting table.

I think sometimes that the people who came up with these cool moves were at a disadvantage when first performing them, because it's not like they had someone to teach them the biomechanics of the element in the proper way so that they learned good form and didn't get hurt. They were sort of making it up as they went along.

he got gold in 1976 not silver

You know, about as much as I look like an ass, his ancestor was probably a ninja. ^w^
