@frederickflips: No way we actually run like this #gymnastics #sport #olympics #funny

big d :

hard to run normally when you’re running full speed at a large object

cyrus 💫 :

i think the approach is pretty similar to jumping events in track and field. it's not a standard run because it's a prep for a different final motion and is only meant to create momentum :)

Vivian Merveille💮✈️🍌🦊 :

It’s bc they aren’t running and if u did gymnastics u would know that😅😅 (they are bounding builds power and momentum rather than speed… same thing u do for Pole Vault, long jump, and high jump in track)

mary-baylee :

ngl, I scored a lot higher on vault when doing the aggressive high knee run…like .3-.5 higher 😭

Jaidennnnnnn :

Not one lie told

Piggyrants :

I very much do run like that and it’s worse bc my elbows are hyperextended😭

jade.allie :

it’s because we’re getting ready to straighten our arms so they already go almost straight when your running

thatnerdukno98 :

😂 I’m a gymnast and I run like this. The reasoning is because many gymnasts are trained to circle their arms as they approach the vault table and having straight elbows when running helps maintain good arm position through that circle and then during the block off the table.

gio 🤍 :

y’all need to see alice d’amato’s run, it’s so weird and particular but i think that it gives you a shit ton of strength

LEEDA | Life 💍 :

i don’t know why we do it but we do. i was also a sprinter and my run is perfectly normal outside of a tumbling pass lol

peachy_dori :

his arms are too wide but the straight arms are VERY TRUE 😭as a vault coach trying to get kids to run is a looooong core and at some point if they vault good enough you let them keep whatever odd habits they have because if it works it works 😂

veroprivate13 :

I run like that 😓

Siobhan :

As a gymnast, he didn’t lie…i run like that too

anna jorgensen :

Bro runs like this

Rae :

It’s because gymnastics is meant to appear graceful historically so they have delicate arm position but also need lots of power and they swing them really fast so it looks weird lol

Haitham🤴 :

I actually run like that😂😂

Gen W-V :

Rylee🖤🎸 :

I dont run like that but i also suck at vault

ro🐆 :

i run like this..

SuperNova :

This also makes me wonder what you all 40 time would be....shoot, 100m time 🤔

️ :

Not me, I did track before

nora :

It’s something about tensing my as out I swear
