During the all-around competition in the women’s gymnastics at the 2000 Olympics, it was discovered that the vault was too low. This low vault caused gymnasts to have scary and uncharacteristic falls. : videos

Elle est géniale (au sens de : horriblement éclairante), cette histoire.

Je suppose qu’on retrouvera des épreuves mixtes quand la fédération développera le Beach-skeet : ce ne sera pas des femmes contre des hommes, mais des couples homme-femmes (qu’on n’aille pas laisser croire qu’une femme seule a battu les hommes), et à condition évidemment que les tireuses soient en bikini et les hommes de short.

Cette histoire est aussi mentionnée dans cet article qui cause armes à feu, tir, masculinisme, extrême-droite, hommes blancs :

Merci @ericw c’est surement dans cet article que j’ai découvert cette histoire.

At the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, the women’s all around gymnastics event began with a disaster. The world’s greatest gymnasts were falling and crashing at the vault. It was the 19th competitor who insisted that the vault height be checked, and it was two inches (5cm) lower than regulation height! No one had adjusted it after the men’s competition the night before. The upshot was that the athletes had the floor come at them much faster than in their years of training. When the error was discovered, competitors were offered a chance to re-do their vault, but it was too late for some. Several were injured, and many were so shaken that it affected their performances in other events.

L’épreuve n’a même pas été annulée après la découverte de l’erreur du CIO.
