Rio Olympics 2016: A look at the women who will compete with Dipa Karmakar at the vault finals

#3 Giulia Steingruber (Switzerland)

Steingruber will look to carry on her form in the European Championship

With a balance beam somersault to her name, Steingruber surprised everyone by coming 68th in the beam. However, with a fifth place floor exercise finish and a third place finish at the vault, the Swedish European Champion is still very much in the running for a podium finish at Rio.

Interestingly, Steingruber’s first vault was a Chusovitina – a front handspring spiked salto with a twist off – named after her competitor Oksana Chusovitina who was the first to do it. Her second vault was a Yurchenko with a double twist. The result was a total score of 15.266, which (in one of those rare and ridiculous eventualities that only sports can bring about) placed her above Chusovitina herself.
