Blaine Wilson also went for broke on vault. Along the way, his Roche vault was the source of some of his best sticks and also his biggest crashes and burns. Here is a look at the drama of Blaine Wilson on vault.

it was so impressive to see his progress and how much height he slowly got while on the old vault horse. by the new vault table came around he was just popping it so high in the air that we was overrotating it.

This was a wild ride to follow

You can tell this wasn't an easy vault for him, at all, but boy did he ever get it by 2000.

I couldn't find his others vaults from the Olympics, but they were excellent!

Was him the fist gymnast with tatoos?

[@gymnasticsrov5953]

One of the first!

Very controversial too. And he had his tongue pierced. The late 90’s gymnastics community didn’t know what to do with him.

[@gregoryramsay2078]

@@Marketoromagnolo Oh yeah. He was the “bad boy” of gymnastics.

I don’t know if anyone else feels the same as me but I find it extremely frustrating when a skill is performed, and can only barely be properly achieved, just for the sake of it being an amazing skill. It’s not an amazing skill if its achievement is so haphazard and random. Athletes should just train with that skill for longer before performing it in competition 🤔
