In the long usually horse event, the gymnast vaults from a reuther board (a takeoff board designed to give a small amount of spring) over the length of the usually horse. After a run of about 60 feet, the gymnast lands on the takeoff board and passes over the usually horse, with one or both hands touching the usually horse's body, while executing a vault such as a stoop, straddle, handspring, or cartwheel. Vaults are classified as either near end (croup) or far end (neck) vaults, and for the best perŽformance the hands must touch within one or the other of the two zones.
