  • Vanessa Atler is one of the greatest female vaulters of all time. She competed a variety of vaults from both the yurchenko and front handspring entries - and she won countless titles doing so, including the 1997 U.S. Nationals, 1998 Pacific Alliance Championships, 1998 Goodwill Games, 1998 Australia Cup, 1999 French International and 1999 U.S. Nationals. At the 1999 American Cup, Vanessa performed a layout rudi and became the only American gymnast of her quadrennium to perform a vault with a 10.0 start value.

      Absolutely NOT... and I say this as a huge Atler fan at the time. It was clear she was on the decline while the other gymnasts were improving. I don't doubt her physical abilities at the time, but the very uncharacteristic mistakes she made on vault, beam, and floor over the two days of Olympic Trials made it obvious she was struggling mentally. Interviews she has done recently have pretty much confirmed that she wasn't in a good place either.

    She's a gymnast who never seemed to look insecure on the old horse. You never had to worry about her. I am curious if she's ever spoken about the new vaulting table....whether she's vaulted on it, whether she likes it or possibly if she prefers the old horse vs. the table.

      She definitely should have some thoughts! She currently coaches WAG in Bakersfield so she has to familiar with training on the table. I’m still anxiously awaiting the day when her gym turns out an Olympian. She’d be a joy to see on that side of it.

      For the 1997 - 2000 quad as a whole, I believe these were the 10.0 SV vaults that were performed / attempted.

      Elena Dolgopolova / layout Podkopayeva (1998 Goodwill Games)

      Back then, they HAD to be AA gymnasts. 6 on the team, 5 compete on each event. Say they had Atler on the team, and Atler had no bar routine. The other 5 have to go up. One gets hurt- there would be nobody to sub in. Sadly, Atler was 4 years too old. Had she been 4 years younger, she would have been on the 2004 squad, which was 6 on the team and only 3 up in team finals on each event. She could have stopped doing bars.

      Are you serious? Her attempts were from nearly 30 years ago! She was one of the first to do that vault, and she was doing it on the old school horse, not the modern table! Even still, her DTY is still better than many of the DTY we see from today's gymnasts! More height and distance and cleaner landings.
