Abstract
The purpose of this project is to describe the procedures used in acquiring data on the Men's Olympic Long Horse Vaulting Competition. A descriptive biomechanical analysis is provided of the filmed performances of the eight male finalists in this event. All of the performed vaults are grouped into the following two vault families: Handspring Front Somersault and Tsukahara. Comprehensive kinematic descriptions are presented for these two vault families.Keywords
