In the vaulting events gymnasts: sprint down a 25 meter (about 82 feet) runway, jump onto a beatboard (a kind of springboard), (run/ take-off segment), land momentarily, generally inverted on the hands, on the vaulting horse or vaulting table, (pre flight segment), then spring or block off of this platform to a two footed landing (post flight segment). The post flight segment may include one or more multiple saltos or somersaults, and or twisting movements.
In 2001, the traditional vaulting horse was replaced with a new apparatus, sometimes known as a tongue or table. The new apparatus is more stable, wider, and longer than the older vaulting horse—approximately 1m in length and 1m in width—gives gymnasts a larger blocking surface, and is therefore safer than the old vaulting horse. With the addition of this new, safer vaulting table, gymnasts are attempting more difficult and dangerous vaults

Gymnastics is set back to Ancient Greece but it also was said that there was also evidence that the Chinese may have also practice the sport in 2nd Century BC. It is also returned in Germany in the 19 Century and was intoduced to Britian by Frederick Ludwig Khan. Thats how Gymnatics started in London! Gymnastics has been an Olympic sport since the first modern Games were held as a men's event in Athens in 1896 and for women at Amsterdam in 1928. And it really took off on the international stage with the emergence of superstars like Russia's Olga Korbut in the early Seventies
