However, Dipa, who is India’s first female gymnast at an Olympic Games, is more excited than concerned about performing the vault at the Rio Games. “I believe that practice makes perfect, and then it is not difficult anymore,” she said. “My coach, (Bisweshwar Nandi) ensured that I practised extensively. In the last three months I did 1000 repetitions of the move,” she said. “Now it is the easiest vault for me.The Produnova — a handspring
The Produnova — a handspring double-front somersault — has the highest degree of difficultly for a women’s vault, a 7.0, and only five women in the world have attempted it in competition. The difficult vault has already led to a horrific injury of French gymnast Samir Ait Said after she broke her leg on the vault in men’s qualifying event on Saturday.
Dipa was the first Indian female gymnast to win a medal at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow 2014 and followed it up with bronze at the Asian Championships in Hiroshima. She also reached the final round of the 2015 World Championships and finished fifth.
