McKayla Maroney VS Kohei Uchimura VAULT GYMNASTICS COMPARISON
The video shows American gymnast McKayla Maroney and Japanese gymnast Kohei Uchimura performing their signature vaults - the Amanar for Maroney and the open-twisting Yurchenko double for Uchimura. Both gymnasts completed 2.5 twists in the air with brilliant height and form.
The video uses a split-screen effect to showcase the two vaults side-by-side, allowing viewers to compare them in real time. We see Maroney's explosive block off the vault table propel her skyward as she shows gorgeous leg extension and perfectly pointed toes throughout her flight. Uchimura likewise demonstrates beautiful form, keeping his body pin-straight as he twists through the air.
Both gymnasts stick their landings cold, barely moving as their feet hit the mat. However, Maroney's greater vertical leap is evident, as she seems to hang in the air for an eternity compared to Uchimura. The video makes clear why Maroney's Amanar is regarded as perhaps the greatest vault ever performed. Even matched against the legendary Uchimura, her otherworldly height and flawless technique stand out.
Though an impressive display by both athletes, the side-by-side footage gives viewers a new appreciation for Maroney's singular brilliance on vault. Her unparalleled performance skills are crystallized beautifully through the video's novel format.
