Of 100 male players, 76 of them were reported to perform such gymnasic maneuvers as the Hand Spring Salto (style A), the Hand Spring with Full Turn, the Tsukahara Vault (style B), and the Kasamatsu Vault. The Kasamatsu Vault especially received recognition as the best technique.
In case of female players, they generally performed no more than three kinds such as the 1/2 Turn Back Somersault (style A,B), the Hand Spring with a Full Turn, the Hand Spring Salto (style A,B).
This was well displayed by Nelly Kim, a USSR somersaultist, as she performed the 1/2Turn to Back Somersault with a Full Turn in a new mode.
